Coldboot(start-up video)...Is it possible

[Darksn1per]

is it possible to have a coldboot(thats what it called in psp terms) or otherwise known as a startup video for your ps2.
no offence or anything but i just dont like the FreeMcboot screen ...
i wanted something like an xbox 360 startup or windows startup or something
like that....

if sony made a 256MB MC, we might be able to do that kind of stuff for homebrew, but since they don't we can't

o i c
the ps2 has no methods of flashing?

[Peppers]

Your kidding right?

[Bootlegninja]

simply put. no.

edit - must be drugged out day.

If the PS2 was flashable, we wouldnt have Modchips or even free mcboot for that matter, we would have flashed it long ago.

Unfortunatly when it comes to the it lacks alot of the fancy features other modified systems have. On the bright side, it has a better library and gameplay than most too.

Hello?
The first (open) MG-Exploit for us was available 7Months ago.

You can´t expect all features of a CFW in such a short time.
Also there are just a few persons, who really contribute in a way...
I hope for more ideas and solutions "how-to" realize things and that you keep in mind that a few features are not as important (I think), as a few other might be...

A solution for your idea,... (Coldboot-Screen&so on...)
There are more than only one.

The PSP e.g. can play a video-file with a plugin (and I think, that was an rather old method...).
Another way might be to hack the original sequence,...

But is it worth it (yet)?

that would be cool to make a CFW for the PS2 like for the psp you may not be able to make it for 8MB memory card becouse of limited space but it might be possable for a 64MB memory card it deppends on how big it would be i think a 64MB might be big enough or if not you could run it from a flash drive if it would be possable. that would be great i hope it could be done it sounds like a good idea to me

Which features of a CFW do you miss?
Some of the basic-stuff is allready there,...

I also had some thinkering about an external OSDMOD.ELF (for FMCB), which isn´t limited in space and also could be loaded from USB.

Thought, the max. such kind of an app will consume depends on its features, but I don´t think it is more than 1MB with efficient code (+ HDD-/or USB-Drivers and all those Driver-Stuff in the SYS-CONF-Folder).
I think many things can be done with 300KB. ^^
