You don't need PC for this. You also don't have to proxify anything, etc. Just change the server address in codebreaker executable.

I had such server created for tests some time ago, and it works quite nice. Just like with the default one (though much faster, as it was on my own network

).

We try to set our own DAY1-Server (ps3tools.de PAL-DAY1-Files) online for CB.
Maybe we can expect a PAL-CB in near future,...

I don't understand what's hard about that? It's simple as a pie.

Btw.: You played around with CB-Patching, so I have 1 question.
Is it possible to remove the internal DB (because of the filesize)?

Yes. You can remove it, you can also change it for another one. Just uncompress it and take a closer look

I thought we talked about a non-modified CB, because probably only a few persons will have one,...
Yes, we (Fatman) did the same, after suggesting.

I have a Standard ADSL2+-Router, so it wasn't a problem for me, just because of the unmodified form.

The idea behind it, was that we will provide PAL-Codes and codes find by users.

.

That's my problem, why I couldn't do it on my own,...
I have no Linux-Tools here, to unpack (PS2)ELFs.
(I must send it to someone, who can unpack it for me, as I did last with your GUI-Test.

)

I simply want a "Mini-CB" without an internal DB.
...or one with a replaced PAL-DB.

Thanks!!! I have a cpu with a dual OS sitting next to me (Slackware 10.2/WinXP w MingW). I'll try this one out after work

I got an unpacked CB 9.22HDLDAY1-Fixed.
So URL-Patching was simply too easy, if it was, what I assume,... The URL with "ccc"...
Just need to remove the DB,...

DAY1-PAL-DB is coming (not only PAL, we may collect all we can get,...).
We will test some things and mod the CB before and than it comes along with our PAL-DB.

I have to say that the script is working nicely. (It's just my internet connection that sucks.

)

hopefully if I can get my windows machine back up and running, I can start on getting the pages. (F**king Windows and f**king Compaq)

Well, as far as i know it was not that simply as u say.
You have to ask the person what he did

(I think he told aou that it was not just changing the URL)...

It's bash script. So you obviously need bash

. You can use cygwin's for this if you're on windows. You also need wget and sed. The dafult "from" date is stored in the script file. I've set it to the default one from CB9.3 (2005-10-25, YYYY-MM-DD is the format). The date is to not download all the list everytime. Even if you download the entire list, there will be "new_files.txt" created with the files that were not in "down" directory before. Only the new files are actually downloaded.

I've just tried your script in my Cygwin setup (same as for PS2Dev), and I had two problems.

One is that my 'wget' version didn't accept the option "--no-cookies", so that had to be replaced by "--cookies=off" instead.

But after fixing that I ran into a more fatal problem, which is that the url used by your script was not accepted by the server, which instead responded with a standard '404 error' page (stored by the script as "list.txt")... I tried entering the same url into Firefox, and that too resulted in the same error page...

I can't say that I used that particular environment. what I used was Ubuntu 8.0.4. Regarding the version of version of wge, I'm not sure since that PC is currently being restored to windows. (again) I did run into the slight problem of getting the script to run at first, but the following command fixed that. Also I had nothing but the script and 'down' folder when I ran it.

Code:

chmod a+x skrypt.sh

after that, worked like a charm.

Apart from the different wget option for not using cookies I had no problem to get the script to run. It does run and does reach the proper site, but the file that gets downloaded to "list.txt" is always an "error 404" page, instead of the wanted game list.

Could you check it then, if it will download the list, if you'll run it directly, like:

Code:

wget -O list.txt --header="Accept:" --no-cookies --no-http-keep-alive --user-agent="PS2NET Client" http://www.cmgsccc.com/ps2/day1/cb.php?date=$DATE_TO_FETCH

Just replace the $DATE_TO_FETCH with a real date YYYY-MM-DD . It's either bash version that behaves a liitle bit different than mine or wget. Anyway, if that will work, just replace the date in the script (or try to remove the " around the date... eventually use eval or direct command calling).

My bash on cygwin is: GNU bash, version 3.00.16(14)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
My wget on cygwin is: GNU Wget 1.10.2

sed shouldn't play any tricks at this stage (it can, but only once a proper list is downloaded). But my sed is:

GNU sed wersja 4.1.4

PS. I'm not really that much familiar with bash scripting, so this script isn't most likely optimal, nor bugfree. Usually all I need are simple scripts like this one, and I just make them to work
