updating fmcb noobie pkg with esr r9b

[thephased]

Hi. I'm going to be getting swap magic 3.8 soon and im trying to understand how to update ESR from the version included in the noobie package. I have not installed anything on my ps2 yet.

ESR.ELF in the noobie package is 393kb where as ESR beta r9b dvdv direct.elf is 33kb.

I read in another thread to rename ESR beta r9b dvdv direct.elf to ESR.ELF and replace it within the INSTALL folder.

is this correct?

If i wanted to play bootleg games from a usb drive and used HDLoader, i would need ESR beta r9b dvdv direct off.elf right? Can I have the direct elf and the direct off elf installed at the same time? does the direct off elf support dvd booting in addition to HD booting?

thanks!

First of all, the version that comes in the noobie package is the latest version of ESR(it even has a GUI), so its a lot better than the direct version(in my opinion anyway).
2. yes, thats pretty much it(but id keep the version in the noobie package)
3. ok i'll break it down for you:
a)The site does not support piracy, as bootlegninja would say "buy your damn games!"
b)you cant use hdloader to play from a USB drive, hdloader boots games from an internal IDE drive.
c)USBADVANCE/EXTREME/Open PS2 loader(i think thats what its called) is the one that boots games from USB drive.
d) ESR DOES NOT BOOT GAMES FROM NEITHER INTERNAL IDE DRIVE NOR USB DRIVE, IT BOOTS THEM FROM A DVD(thats why you have to patch your images with ESR patcher before burning them).
e)see b and c.
