Loading GUI String Table...FAILED

[filly_b]

I have re-edit config.dat with "notepad2"; the HDD partition and the path is ok now!
...but the boot sequence crashed on error parsing XML GUI with the message 'Loading GUI String Table...FAILED'

The quote above is from a different thread that is under a different problem. So I thought it would be a good idea to post a new thread since more and more people are experiencing the same thing.

After fixing the "(error -6)" and the "(error -2)" problems it hangs and outputs a message like the one above (Loading GUI String Table....FAILED). Does anyone have ideas or a solution to this problem. Thank you.

we definately need a fix for this, i also suffer from hanging on the LAST step in booting it from the HDD. frustrating!!! but it works off of USB ^_^ and its so nice... does anyone elses my ps2 1.1 freeze when transfering multiple files at the same time form one place to another from within the file manager? j/w

I have the same problem as well.
Here is something I noticed.
When I run myPS2 from MC, the loading screen displays:
SetElfPath: mc0:\myPS2\
but
When I run myPS2 from HDD, the loading screen displays:
SetElfPath: host:
So I think this problem is that when loading from HDD, there is a path problem & it can't find the files it needs.

I've had the same problem. In my case it was caused by a wrong path in the config.dat
It said
'hdd_boot_path = /MYPS2/'
while the folder of myPS2 was really named 'MyPS2'. So it seems the path is case-sensitive which led to the error.

Thanx Neocronicum, that sovled it 4 me

[darkarmyofone]

myne is still crashing at "loading GUI string table" when i try to launch from the HDD.

hdd_boot_part = hdd0:+MYPS2

hdd_boot_path = /MYPS2/

thats exactly what it sais in my config.dat, i have the little squares at the ends. i even checked every path for case sensitivity, their all in caps. it works off of my flash drive. im totaly stuck. someone plz help. i would greatly appreciate it. cuz myps2 is the shit!

[Neocronicum]

So you created a partition only for myPS2 and in that partition there is a folder named MYPS2 and in that folder is the program?

What squares are you talking about?
