Loading GUI String Table...FAILED

[ahmadka2]

i get this error too, no matter from where i load it....

[darkarmyofone]

i still kant get it to work from the HD, ive tried sooooo many variations of the way to write the boot stuff. those two lines. im about to give up. ive done it time and time again read all the threads, got it looking perfect, and even approved by someone else in another thread. still it freezes on this last ****ing step.

my HDD is "hdd0:"

my partitions name is "+MYPS2"

theres a folder in that partition named "MYPS2"
that folder contains the skins,language,fonts folders. and the following files :config.dat, system, myps2.elf, and samba.xml

so it should look like:

hdd_boot_part = hdd0:+MYPS2
hdd_boot_path = /MYPS2/

RIGHT?¿?¿ well it doesnt work. when i open this file in notepad i have the little slanted square symbol things they told us to place at the end of the boot lines. i did that. this forum wont display that character though. so i cant show you.

hdd_boot_part = hdd0:+MYPS2?
hdd_boot_path = /MYPS2/?
"the ? marks on the end of the lines represents where that little slanted square is displayedthat i mentioned earlier, when i open my config.dat in notepad"

i was told i should put them there...so i did... i tried em without it and it still hung on that same step.


someone PLEASE read over this and re-post the two boot lines i wrote above and type em the way u think they should be. i'll try it out. any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I just tested it on my PS2. Created a MYPS2 partition using the DMS HDD Format tool and copied the MYPS2 folder from my __boot partition to the new one.
It worked perfectly using the config file I attached (rename it to CONFIG.DAT)

thanks for that man. it didnt work for me though. i tried it. renamed it .dat. i know all about that shit. i just dont get it. it STILL hangs on "loading gui string table.........FAILED" its no use *sigh*

thank you for trying though. i do appreciate it.

Edit your config file and rewrite your language entry in tiny caps. ( FRANCAIS.XML -> francais.xml )
That may solve loading gui string table error...

That's all.

[darkarmyofone]

I got this error when launching MyPs2 1.2 from USB.

Running it from CD works fine.

[sL1pKn07]

if I install MyPS2 in the root folder in the __boot partition (dms3 in DEV.2)

lftp 192.168.0.10:/pfs/0> site mnt /pfs/0 hdd0:__boot

How have I to write o mane the option hdd_boot_path in the CONFIG.DAT to it works?

I have actually put it in this way:

hdd_boot_part = hdd0:__boot
hdd_boot_path = /

hello to all. i think after i see the most of messages, that someone should help us all, by proposing the correct version of 'myps2' after his modification !
cause we all are not tried out enough, & we want to execut the last version of 'myps2' on HDD perfectly without problems !
thanks for your helps !
