Tutorial: Play ESR games through PS2Browser

[files21]

Who wants to hold R1 every time they want to load a game? I'd rather just stick the game in and walk away so when I come back the game is up and running.

Also this way is idiot-proof if someone other than yourself is going to load the games, like a friend or child. All you have to do is tell them to stick the game in and let it go.

well then have it as BOOT.ELF!! no need for this stupid thread!

bootleninja has made a thread.

hmmm you just want attention dont you..

you must be lonely..

this thread is garbage. you do NOT have to miss with the dvd files to play burn games just freaking boot up ESR!!!

A few things I have to say.

1. Please don't drag me into this.
2. My tutorials don't cover this, which is why it's here.
3. Site rules are in place stating no flaming.
4. Knock it off.
5. I suggest you two make ammends.
6. Go on your daily routines as if this arguement never happend.

I would normaly not choose to continue this but files21 seems to be missing that doing this essetually replaces the bult in DVD player with ESR causeing ESR disks to be loaded from the Ps2's orginal browser as you would a real Ps2 game. Makeing its a bit closers to the funtion of a real modchip.

I cannot understand why someone would not get why people would want to do that. I personally do not have interest in doing so but I get it.

It has the drawback of makeing it less conventent to play DVD movies in the ps2 but I do not recamend doing so anyway.

Exactly. This way gives full access to the PS2Browser before loading a game, retail or backup, and the original idea by redeyed was created before FMCB1.5 was released which has the osdsys hack, so this method may not be as ideal anymore. However, loading ESR as BOOT.ELF with FMCB normally requires the game disc to be inserted beforehand. This way, ESR launches when the disc is inserted.

It may have to do with the dvdplayer.id and dvdplayer-e.ver files. Try changing the letter in those files to what your DVD Version is. 4.32U -> 4.32x. It may be because the PAL system doesn't want to recognize it. Also make sure that the version in the files is higher than your actual DVD Player version.

Edit: I would think this works with PAL consoles, but I am not certain since I am unable to test it myself.
Also, I am not sure if it matters or not, but you can try deleting the dvdplayer-j.ver file since it's intended for Japanese consoles.

Thanks. That did the trick. By changing the 4.32U in the dvd files to 4.32E.

Other question is: do we always need a DVD in the drive for booting up other .ELFs except ESR? Otherwise it doesn't work.

This method surely makes it like a real bootup on a modchipped PS2.

Yes, as described in FreeVast Continues-Thread.
Nice tutorial.
If others will use older FMCB-Loaders, they can also use it in a vary of combinations.
I did this method also a bit time ago with uLE and PS2Browser.elf.
This might work with an external (optional ESR-File [<-- Find a workaround, to start decrypted ELF. ])
