Open-ps2-loader compile guide discussions/submissions

[Jops]

Hi Everyone,
I am messing with PS2link & XLink and managing to run code up on the PS2 and output it on the screen. However I would like to know what resources are available for learning the methods available to me
For example how would I have know that init_src() & scr_printf() allow me to output text to the screen if it werent for example files?
Is there anything similar to the MSDN Library for ps2dev?
Thanks

It would be nice if anyone could make and keep up to date how to install the ps2dev toolchain.

[Jops]

yeah I had lots of trouble getting that working.
Seriously though where do I begin? For example how would I for instance check if a Hard disk is present in the system? Or if there is a disc in the drive?

Im no coder or developer, but you might find some help here at this site:

Thanks! Il check that out

I worked all the way up to step 2 about 1.5 - 2 years ago on one of my debian boxes, is there an apt-get update/upgrade function for the toolchain?

[barf]

I would recommend to start from a clean base again and just try. You'll see it's not too hard, it just take some time to compile.

OK, I’ll just reinstall.

Thanks for your tutorial I follow everything without problem.

And last, to pack the OpenPS2Loader ELF, you need to have the ps2-packer. This one can be downloaded from here:

http://ps2dev.org/ps2/Tools/Packers/...2-Packer_0.4.4

(Personally I use a bash script to run the windows binary with wine, as the linux binary doesn't work with my kernel and I didn't looked how to compile it myself ...)

So you need to download and extract the whole binary package under:

$(PS2DEV)/bin/ps2-packer/

As i prefer building myself tools if possible, I use the source of ps2-packer.
To use it with open ps2 loader, you have to change in open-ps2-loader/Makefile

$(PS2DEV)/bin/ps2-packer/ps2-packer main.elf OPNPS2LD.ELF > /dev/null

with

$(PS2DEV)/bin/ps2-packer main.elf OPNPS2LD.ELF > /dev/null

Or change the install dir in ps2-packer.

I am under Linux.

2. Retrieve PS2Toolchain, and compile it

> cd $PS2DEV
> svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/ps2/trunk/ps2toolchain
> cd ps2toolchain
> make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
$ ls -lAh

-rwxr-xr-x  1 barf  staff   1.0K Jan  4 16:44 toolchain.sh

I tried to run ./toolchain.sh, but

./toolchain.sh 
ls: /Users/barf/PS2Dev/ps2sdk: No such file or directory
../depends/check-wget.sh: line 5: wget: command not found
ERROR: Install wget before continuing.
../depends/check-wget.sh: Failed.

Perhaps it works better if I change the toolchain to work with cURL? Does anyone know if wget recursive is used?

I compiled wget from source
However fails when trying to compile.

[psolyca]

Hey

@barf, you need to install wget (wget : command not found, because it is not install) and also try toolchain-sudo.sh
