connect PS2 to PC with crossover cable

[Leharl]

im a new PS2 owner and im curious on what should i do to make windows detect the PS2 connected on the other end of the cable. because i tried it,like connecting a PC to another, but it didn't worked.

what are the applications i need to be able to do so?

thanks.

u can install radhost client on your pc side and after that, depending on what u want to do (sent games to hdd, play movies with sms or just ftp into the ps2) u can boot SMS, uLe or hdl server.

u can google each one of these apps easily, but there also on these forums.

well as broodje said and also for which purpose you want to use ?

i want to connect my PS2 to PC so that i can transfer the contents of my MEMORY CARD. anyway the radhost that is mentioned here is going to work even without an hdd? because i don't have hdd. my ps2 is SCPH-9xxxx Series.

yes that will work.

if u ftp into your ps2 with your pc, u can acces memory card, usb, cd and hdd if u have them connected.

u should run uLaunchElf on the ps2 and flashFXP on your pc.

in flashFXP use the IP address assigned in uLaunchElf (standard = 192.168.0.10 i believe, check uLaunchELF settings though)

i think username is anonymous and password is empty?

am not sure, perhaps someone else know this?

radhostclient is best for streaming from pc to ps2...(like movies and music)

and if u only want to transfer memory card content to your pc...

UlaunchELF and an USB stick will do fine m8

Hey guys, slow down a bit...

Before going overboard with detailed advice here, perhaps we should ask Leharl about whether or not he has a modchip or some other way to launch homebrew applications, because without some means of starting them, the programs recommended above are all pretty useless.

So how about it Leharl ?
Do you have a mod-chip or soft-mod method for running homebrew programs ?
(EG: Swap-Magic boot discs will suffice)

i have a modchip, its MODBO 4.and prior to launching such applications, i just recently learned - using Codebreaker.
but i want my PS2 to connect to my PC.
so what am i gonna do next?

easiest i can think of is to burn a CD/DVD, with uLaunchElf(find here on forums), and a file called SYSTEM.CNF, that contains:
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\BOOT.ELF;1
VER = 1.00
VMODE = PAL

and boot it with PS2. Make sure the uLaunchElf is called BOOT.ELF, and that there's some padding so the disc is little fatter.
When your there, go to file browser/misc, and choose to start the network.
Correct if i forgot something

Dunno if it's easier with Codebreaker to boot elfs without discs. No experience on me.

CodeBreaker does not have any direct elf launch commands.

But the modchip he has should allow Dev1 booting of homebrews as "mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF", unless the ability to configure that mode was lost in the cloning process, as this chip has cloned firmware, not an original one designed for this chip.

If it has no Dev1 capability, then it is best to install FMCB on a memory card, and use this for homebrew booting instead, and to help in preparing such an installation a good starting point is to make a boot disc for uLaunchELF.

This can be done as you suggest, though that requires some familiarity with how to make PS2 ISOs. It may be safer just to download one of the ready-for-burning ISOs in the uLaunchELF release thread instead (in uLaunchELF subforum of the Homebrew/Dev forum).
