SJCrunch *HELP*

[blisstik]

i'm trying to compress an ELF but it seems like its not compressing it enough

the 2.8 MB file goes down to only 2.4 MB

ive edited the "sjcrunch" file to point to its path's but its still not workin...

do i need to download "EE-GCC" or the EE folder inside the SJCRUNCH.zip will be enough?

ive gotten PS2-Packer to work but it wont boot thru DMS DEV1

Hey BS,
I have always enjoyed your posts and your willingness to try what you post about.

If you are looking for compression, try the lzo libraries. I hate to say it, but PS2Dev may be a better place to ask if you don't get your answer here.

Well did you get it compress, I added my custom images on HD Loader and I want to compress it.

this is what i learned from Zer0-X, thank you very much!

1. install PS2Dev Environment on C:\PS2Dev
http://ps2dev.org/kb.x?T=1059

2. download SJCrunch 2.1
http://ps2dev.org/kb.x?T=999

3. copy the "script" folder of SJCrunch-2.1.zip to C:\PS2Dev\script

4. copy "libsjcrunh.a" from the "script" folder to C:\PS2Dev\gcc\ee\lib

5. make a bat file "sjcrunch.bat" with the lines below and put on C:\PS2Dev\script

---------------------
sjcrunch_packer.exe %1 elf.s
ee-gcc -o %2 -Wl,--defsym,_start_address=0x1b00000 -T linkfile elf.s crunch_crt0.o -Wl,-L\ -nostartfiles -lsjcrunch
ee-strip -F elf32-littlemips %2
rm -f elf.s
---------------------

6. Open DOS and type cd\PS2Dev\script

7. Once on C:\PS2Dev\script, type "PATH"

8. Now copy whatever it spits out and paste it on the next line. It looks like PATH=XXX

NOTE: On WinXP you can RIGHT CLICK and click "MARK" then highlight all of the text in a white square by dragging your mouse then hit "ENTER" on your keyboard to copy the PATH=XXX text. Then RIGHT CLICK on the next line and PASTE and "ENTER" on keyboard once more. Now your PATH's will be setup and ready to compress/compile.

9. Now you can "sjcrunch unpacked.elf packed.elf" on C:\PS2Dev\script

NOTE: The "packed.elf" should now work on DMSDEV1 (MC) and the "unpacked.elf" should work on DMSDEV2 (HDD). I also found a great tool to edit your APPLIST.DAT so you can upload your APPS to your HDD using EXECFTPS.
