bluetooth - ps2 to pc

**peeman** · 10-17-2004,12:28 PM

Any ideas on how to pull this off, Possible to use ps2os (mass

to detect file stored on pc harddrive. What a project for someone to start. Maybe run hdl iso's straight from pc harddrive. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i doubt it unless someone wrote an up to "pair "the two BT devices.

IMHO Bluetooth is not fast enough for file transfers to worth the trouble. Being able to use some Bluetooth devices with PS2 seems interesting, but I have few of those, but I still use them quite rarely with my PC.

too true b081. my pocket pc and my computer have both bluetooth and 802.11b. when sending file over, bluetooth is almost useless for anything other than text document. although 802.11b is still slow, it is *alot* faster than blutooth.

a better idea to look into would be putting one of thoes wireless thingies that attach to any standard rj45 / ethernet source. wireless ps2

Right, it's not worth it.

I have a wireless-g bridge connected to my PS2. This is the best scenario. Why mess with anything else?

I'd like to see network storage support.. a free standing HDD that plugs directly into a network... y'all know what I mean....

something like that would have some use.... not for large games but pulling movies, music, and emus from it would be nice.

It should be possible (not easy though) to port Samba from Linux, and define a PSX compatible API to access it through a normal IRX driver. This way any software currently using a similar driver today should also work with networked drives. (Within the limits set by each such software of course)

But of course, a project with so high ambitions also has a high level of difficulty. I'd say its on a par with HDLoader when it comes to that.

In any case:
For free access to all old and new PS2 media at the same time, we need a new homebrew file browser, with convenient (which is where the current ones fail) methods for managing (at least copying, moving, renaming, deleting) files in multiple media (at least 2 simultaneously), and with a good overview of the results (meaning that both source and destination folders should be visible at the same time).
That need has been clear for a long time now.

Best regards: dlanor

Edit: Sorry, I just realized my response is a bit off-topic. But it can perhaps still be of interest, so I'm leaving it unchanged.
