error parsing XML GUI

[thenotself]

I've got myPS2 installed in a partition on my HDD. I'm loading it from launchelf and it always gives an error parsing the XML GUI (I don't have the exact error in front of my right now).

This error happens right after the message about parsing the XML GUI that might take a while.

I am using the default skin that comes in the 1.1 zip. I haven't made any modifications and I've double checked to ensure that the files FTP'd properly, and they appear to have.

I've been using execftp to transfer the files, and it's got a bit of a weird bug listing files in hdd0, and sometimes seems to lose a partition once I mount it to pfs, so this could be related to problems transfering the files, but again my files look good so not sure what's up?

Anybody else with similar trouble with an idea? I've tried deleting and reuploading all the files but no luck there either.

Thanks!

This might have nothing to do with your problem (solution wise), but here's what caused myPS2 to the give same error. I had the app installed on MC0://SWAPMAGIC/MYPS2/.. any time I tried to upload the files directly to the folder either throught EXECFTP or MYPS2FTPD, it would say that the upload had completed successfully, but when trying to start the application, I would get the same error, over and over. The only way I was able to fix the issue was to drop the APP under MC0://MYPS2/.. and to create every folder in advance.

Hope this might help.

I get something very similar when trying to run from HDD. Mine fails at
Loading GUI String Table...FAILED
Works fine from MC & MASS

I just tried from mass: but I get an error loading the GUI XML (different error, this is not a parse error) and I noticed it didn't pick up my IP settings so it must be loading from defaults...

I've now spent 3 days trying to get this to load. 0.5 used to load no problem. I'm now trying to delete my +MYPS2 partition but I can't delete it in any application PS2OS, PS2FORMAT, PS2MENU-K...

It's give up time unless anybody has suggestions on how to get it working from mass: as I don't have room on my mc0:

when you guys USE the EXECFTP do you DIsconnect after your done cuz that allway did me som problems so i use the Launche ELFs FTP even better.

I unmount and then disconnect, but like I said there's a bug listing the HDD it downloads the filelist forever so I have to stop it at about 3,000KB and then disconnect and reconnect and the list shows up. If I let it go for longer it shows me duplicates of everything. I have a 160GB drive though with 145GB used up.

I'll try the launchelf ftp, didn't know it had one!

mine myps2 worked fine until i renamed it to boot.elf. now i get the same error as you.
you all can see my problem here? i renamed launchelf to launchelf.elf
and myps2 to boot.elf in the __boot dir... so im stucked. hopfuly i got some old launchelf on memcard as boot.elf so i can run devmode 1.

But the clue is renaming of the myps2 elf file... did you do it?

i managed to changed it back and it works now, but if this is the case then how the hell im i going to make it my boot file if it cant be named boot.elf?
