Possible to boot Launch.elf direktly with Crystal Chip??

**Kurd** · 02-22-2005,08:05 AM

Is it possible to boot Launch.elf directly with a Crystal-Chip from Memory-Card??
I have try it, to replace the BOOT.ELF with the Elf from Launch.elf (of course renamed), bot its only black screen???

Also i have tried to replace the Boot.elf with the Elf from HD-Advace, the splash screen comes, but nothing more

I hate to navigate trough the Crystal-Bootmanger to start HDA or Exec..usw.
I would to start important Progs, direktly..

Any Help???

No one a Idea??
I thought there must be only a Boot.elf in the Boot-Directory of the MemoCard and the Chip starts it automaticly??

I know, with the DMS Chip you have to press Triangle, to execute it.

But how can i start a Boot.elf with the Crystal Chip??
The Boot-Manager starts and works, but if i change the Boot.elf with an other, it didnt start.

...Im trying like you to start launchElf directly (this app is too cool) ... and as you said.. black screen...

maybe we should look into the firmware code and find whats wrong...

anyway in anyone got a clue this would be great !

I hate this. Everyone said "oohhh, Crystal is a suuuper Chip" and now this ****ed Chip cant play simple Elfs from Memo, only this ****ed Boot-Manager...

Sorry, it was my last Crystal, never, never...

weiß ich nicht... it should boot from /BOOT/BOOT.ELF

make sure you have the capitals right

no it dont... it want to.. but only a black screen....

**Kurd** · 02-23-2005,09:27 PM

Yup. It didnt work.
Its perhaps a bug in the newest Bios??
Because i try it only with the newest Bios (1.4).

And HD-Advance didnt work too.
I installed HDL with the bootmanager, it starts, it scanns the HDD and it lists the Games, but only a few Games works, if i boot from HDL-CD, all Games works....
Shit.

Should i try an older Bios???
I cant believe, that this Chip is such a crap...

its still a nice chip... its only because we dont know whats the problem and maybe its just a small glitch witch will be removed on next release....for your hdl problem try to go into launchelf brom bm them launchf hdl form launchelf.. maybe it will work... (and maybe your hdl on mc is older then the hdl on cd...upgrade it with a usb thumb drive...or just take it from the hdl-cd)

**Kurd** · 02-23-2005,09:38 PM

Its the same version on the HD, and i try all combinations...
Oki, its a good Chip, but without working Dev-Mode, i can geht 80% cheaper Chips which are good too.

I will try to get an older Bios for it, and try with. Perhaps its works...Else i must sell my PS2, get a new one with the DMS or Infinity

Boots the Crystal automaticly the Boot.elf, or is a Keypress needed, like DMS ??
