Utube video of a PS2 running XMB menu

**jimhackthorn** · 12-20-2008,01:12 AM

I have found a utube video of a PS2 running XMB menu with a memor32 card i wounder how is this possible. Maybe TNA could use his idea and make a OSDMOD.ELF thats a XMB menu GUI that FMCB could run on boot and load your apps and also be able to play movies from flash drive or over a network and also have IGR and VMC. this is pretty interesting how this person is running XMB menu on there PS2 here is the video and a link to it.

Ok whats argone how can i get it i would like to try it if i could find it. this is basicly XMB for the PS2 maybe it could be continued to be developed to work with FMCB.

look in the sms section. there's a thread for it. and you'll have to take it up with the author.

ok i didn't know it was based on sms when i first seen the video i didn't know what it was it just looked like XMB to me and thought is what i thought it was i think it would be nice if this could be continued it seems to be really good and seems to be a better version of sms i will try it out and see what it is like.

Use it as-is if you like, but don't expect any updates since the project is dead.
It's author has stated that he doesn't intend to work on it anymore.

Youtube, it's spelled Youtube! Are the two extra letters really that hard to type?

It's too bad about Argon though, it has a pretty slick interface.

I think it is better then sms i wish the author would make updates i like it a lot it seems to be a big improvement over sms.

But when the author is an idiot...?
Forget it the argon project is dead.

Rgds.

What's wrong with SMS? Besides MKV, it's played every movie in my External HD perfectly...

And wouldn't a XMB style menu on a PS2 just take up too much memory?

(I wonder if it's possible to shortcut HDL games...like a file that would launch HDL and pick the game for you... hook it up with ULE and you could make a menu for your games that has pics of the game with a brief description to remind you what it's about...)

(What I said above this might seem off topic, but I deleted what I said before, something about being able to launch audio, video, programs, and "games"...)
