Regarding homebrew on pstwo (v12 and up)...

[eMaNoN]

i just noticed that the action replay max bundled with the pen drive, AR MAX actually can launch any homebrew (elf's) not just only the pgen (codejunkies) on ps2 v1-v11. i found out that ps2 v12 and up can also boot elf (but only the codejunkies pgen.elf other than that no homebrew will work.) if we only knew how the codejunkies pgen has been packor coded (elf), we can create a special elf with codejunkies pgen elf structure and use that structure to make a special ulaunchelf for to use on AR MAX to launch any homebrew...
any ideas...?

YEAH I KNOW THAT MC EXPLOIT ON PSTWO HAS BEEN PATCHED AND AR MAX EXECUTING ELFS WONT WORK ANYMORE CUZ ITS BEEN PATCH, BUT STILL WHY THIS PGEN (CODEJUNKIES VERSION) named as autoexec.elf, can be still be executed on PSTWO (v12-up) using the Action Replay MAX (bundled with the pendrive). ...

this what i meant if we can create that special elf (ulaunchelf)
PSTWO (v12 and up) + AR MAX + PENDRIVE WITH ULAUNCHELF (code it like the codejunkies pgen version to allow to boot) once we launch launchelf: we can launch other homebrews (elf's)....
the codejunkies pgen version works on pstwo v12 and up using the AR MAX, (see it for ur self it will work!. but limited to only to that homebrew(pgen codejuskies version)

HDLoader and USBAdvance works on the pendrive on my slim PS2. But it would be nice to have a launchelf that is supported on the pendrive.

whether or not any given homebrew will work off of the ar max media player depends mostly on how it is packed. incidentally, the original "hdloader free" works just fine from max media player. HOw well patched ones work depends on how they are packed.
