A question about Swap Magic 3.8 Coder and TOC

If it does support SMB, then it may be used as a fine miniature NAS unit, to provide OPL with an SMB fileshare for games, independently of using any 'real' computer.

That's the thing. Reason why this popped into my head. This system is being ran in my sons room. We won't allow him to have a PC in his room until he's at least 16. Running a long ethernet cord isn't an option either.

After reading your post and doing some research on my own I agree with you. I think it could work, it's just not very time/money effective. In my 20 years of being a CPU Design Engineer I've learned that when it comes to software/hardware nothing is impossible. All that matters is how much time you want to spend getting something to work.

With that said. I think my best bet would just make a wireless bridge for the PS2. Which is something that I have a lot of experience in. I made wireless bridges for my Game Cube, Dreamcast, and Xbox 360. I think my only real hurdle will be getting SMB to work with it.

[QUOTE=Ioskeha;655291]Hey, dlanor. Are you sure about ESR not using a TOC at all? I'm not doubting your knowledge, you've been in this scene way longer then I have. I'm sure ESR doesn't use TOC like you said.


Hey I'm doubting you either but I had a problem where if I played NFSU 2 original disc then tried to boot my ESR back up of Champions RTA it wouldn't load super slow and freeze. So I booted GTA 3 which has a higher TOC then turned off PS2 and booted my back up of Champions and it works just fine plus after NFSU 2 SM 3.8 wouldn't boot the back up properly either. So I believe that with ESR the TOC does matter and as SM3.8 idk what its deal was but ESR I believe still relys on TOC imo.

disregard this lol discovered that by blocking my sensors to use SM3.8 originally before working with ESR was the issue sorry Dlanor. Now works no problem with my ESRs and Im using a SCPH-75001 US PS2
