Need major help playing backups with MCBoot and ESR

[kraxyk]

Ok, I changed my pc's ip address to 192.168.0.1 to match the subnet mask but still nothing shows up. Maybe I'm not sharing the folder properly?

[RandQalan]

The share must be what you have in OPL as user and password and if everyone no pass the share has to reflect that

[kraxyk]

Wait I'm sorry can you explain? I have no password on the folder as far as I'm aware...

I have a shared folder called PS2Games with the share name PS2SMB

let the name as is and try to don´t use different folder-names. So if your folder-name is PS2Games, let it in share-name so too....
But use uppercase. So it must be PS2GAMES and not PS2Games !!

Then in PS2 in share you write PS2GAMES....

I have changed my network settings so that my computer has an ip address of 192 . 168 . 0 . 2 and subnet mask of 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 . On the ps2 side, I have opl 0 . 8 . elf which is loaded using ulaunchelf. The settings for the ps2 are as follows, IP adress of 192 . 168 . 0 . 10 , subnet mask of 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 and gateway of 192 . 168 . 0 . 1 .

Ok, you changed your PC-IP, but what "Gateway" has your PC?
And in PS2 you forgot the PC-IP-side ! ! !

So i give you an example how it must shows (without router) and you can take other numbers in the last IP-number....

PC-side:

IP: 192.168.0.2
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.2

PS2-side:

-PS2-
IP: 192.168.0.10
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.2

-PC-
IP: 192.168.0.2
PORT: 445
SHARE: PS2GAMES
USER: GUEST
PASS: <empty>

Yea it is possible to have bad rips that I have before and you can order verbatim DVD on line
Sony DVD are good but heavy and slows the rotation speed of player when I have tried them so that may be the problem
You could try re ripping and another Sony DVD it could be a bad rip but the the thinness of the ones I burned slowed it down and caused skipping and
sometimes not to load at all.

Ok well I'm beyond frustrated. I have my settings set up exactly the same and it still doesn't show up...I am supposed to change ipv4 right?

[LopoTRI]

I am supposed to change ipv4 right?

Yes.

Try to let the "Gateway" empty in PC-side....

If you have Win 7 read this tut (go down to "Windows 7 – Crossover Cable Setup" point "4"...)...

Okay sorry for late reply. Okay I've done everything correctly. I tried ripping two of my games. The first is american idol, I used dvd decrypter and renamed the iso to SLUS_208 . 16 . AmericanIdol. I then ripped 007 Agent Under Fire and renamed the iso to SLUS_202 . 65 . 007AgentUnderFire. I have followed the tutorial for how to set up my connection and shared folder. I have a folder named PS2GAMES with share name PS2SMB. I load up opl and check all the network config to match the tutorial. I then click back and it pulls the network games page. But no matter what I do it never loads the list of games. Maybe it is a read only issue? Do I need to share the subfolders inside the PS2GAMES folder like the CD and DVD folders? Thank you for your help!

[RandQalan]

It might be problem with righta because VMC needs that to work properly and sub folder should inherit the main folders share property's so make it read rights
