Files from PC to PS2

[AlexRB]

Ok, so I have the exploit down and using FTP I can put files from my PC to my MC then to my PS2 HDD with launchelf. But I want to transfer files larger than the memory card can handle. Not games (I have HDL Dumb working), but video and MP3 files. I've read loads about making partitions and accessing them on FlashFXP so I put DMS Format Tool 1.0 on my MC, ran it and successfully made a 1 gig partition (for mp3s and the like) and a 150 meg partition (for ELFS). Then when I ran execftps and connected my PC with PS2, I still can't do it! Neither partitions show up in pfs, it's just blank, the SITE MNT failed every time.

Any suggestions?

I use LaunchElf and an USB key. LaunchElf (last versions) recognizes much USB devices, even an HDD, if they are FAT formatted.

FAT formatted.

What's this?

I'd rather not buy a USB key, I want to get Flash FXP to see the partitions.

Here's my command that works to mount the __boot partition:

SITE MNT /pfs/0/ hdd:__boot

...that's two underscores. It's been a while since I've messed with it, but if I remember correctly, __boot is the default partition (512MB) created with the format tool. However, when you create new partitions, I believe a plus sign is added. I have a 2GB partition for Genesis ROMS (for pgen) that I called ROMS, but the actual name is +ROMS. So the mount command might look like this:

SITE MNT /pfs/0/ hdd:+ROMS

If you're doing it just like this, then I'm not sure why it isn't working for you.

If you do get it working, don't forget your unmount command before exiting:

SITE UMNT /pfs/0/

...and of course, the zero could be 1, or 2, etc.

use Ulaunchelf. get the latest at the forum.

when in ulaunchelf start ps2net. (can be found in /misc/)
then enter the filebrowser (also /misc/)
go to host: and enter. (u dont get connected yet,all u see is to dots)
then go back again.

now at pc side,put ps2client in the dir u want to get access to. (attached)
Then in windows.
start button ->Run
type c:\ps2client.exe -h 192.168.0.10 listen
(if your ps2 ip is other or the ps2client is placed elsewere on pc edit the string.
Hit enter and a black dos window will pop up.
At ps2 side enter host: again. now u can copy files with R1 and paste them onto hdd:


There is another app called Radhost client witch probebly is better than the ps2client. but this works fine too.




good luck

Much respect for ulaunchelf and all the work that went into it, but it's not exactly more convenient to follow all those steps than it is to just have flasfxp/execftps working. In fact, it seems like a lot more work.

I may have to buy a USB key.
