far as I know you can not boot to programs at once with MCloader.. Thats why your not seeing them.... Then best thing to do is get PS2menu and use that to exploit Snes and Pgens.. Just rename PS2menu to BOOT.. and have the Snes and Pgens .ELF files in that same folder..
When you load, the PS2menu will come up then you can boot ether Pgens or Snes..
later,

yeah, i recommend using ps2menu as the startup exploit program. from there many things are possible and easy to do.

ok...but when i installed it as ps2menu it said something to the effect of a hard drive wasn't installed...(i had a 6gig in to see if i would work...)...how do i make not look for a hard drive?

well it might not see your hdd if it isnt formatted. get the DMS-HDD-FORMAT tool from dms3.com and format your hdd.

You cannot make ps2menu not look for hdd, as it was made primarily for the hdd.

Yep yet again t0n is right, However you could also use the HDloader.ELF and use that to format your HD also.. just my $0.02

yeah i have heard alot of times that hdloader has messed up ppl's formatting. (Some ppls consoles continue trying to format for hours at a time with no luck) thats why i always recommend using the DMS tool.

Depends on witch HDloader hack you use.. The original disk of HDloader works great..
I use the Ownz version of HDloader and the formatting screen only came up when I needed to format the PS2 HDD for its first use.. Other then that the format screen never came up agian...

[t0n]

right, maybe for you...but if you look around the forum, theres several people who have had trouble with it.

Thats because the other hacked versions of HDloader sux... I have tryed 2 other HDloaders before I finelly stuck with the Ownz version... I was having the same proublems as every one else... You want a good cracked version of HDloader then go with the Ownz one... Enough said!..
