    Don't know if anyones posted this on other games but you guys know those PS2 Magazine Demo Discs that come with the PS2 Magazine, well put the disc in your dvd drive and you will see the folders of the playabe demos for example here is what the September 2006 issues DVD looks like:

    SCE_DD
    SCUS_975.36
    SYSTEM.CNF
    LSW2
    ATVDEMO
    DH
    MXVSATV
    20199
    THPS4
    CBPS2
    JETX20

    Now this was my situation, I wanted to play the Lego Star Wars demo on HDloader but didn't want to add the extra 2.2gigs of the rest of the demo disc to my HD (The disc is 2.68 gigs, the Star Wars demo is around 400MB)
    So I tried just taking the files out of the LSW2 directory (LSW2= Lego Star Wars II just in case you havent figured that out) and adding a system.cnf that directed it to look at the demo elf and throw it all in the root of the disc but that failed. So I just got a idea just to make a system.cnf and direct it to the folder itself. So what I mean is this:

    SYSTEM.CNF
    LSW2

    That is how the cd and iso look like

    This is the SYSTEM.CNF I wrote:

    BOOT2 = cdrom0:\LSW2\LSW2.ELF;1
    VER = 1.00
    VMODE = NTSC

    This is the order the files in the LSW2 directory should look like:

    GAME.DAT
    LSW2.ELF
    SYS

    (I used Apache 2 to find the correct order)

    SO I compiled the cd and wallah it boots like a regular PS2 retail game without the annoying PS2 magazine menu to boot it from and is only 400mb in size!

    Now I don't know if this will work with other demos but im sure it will. So if you get this magazine its a nice thing to know if you have a mod on your ps2
    V4 MI w/500gb HD & custom HD fan
    V9 CC 2.0 w/300gb HD
    V4 DMS4 Pro w/250gb HD
    V3 CC 2.0
    V12 Modbo 745 /clear case
    V0 SCPH-10000 JAP w/ DMS3

    It seems like a pretty straight forward concept, i see no reason it shouldnt work with any other demo's ... Contratz!
