HDD & Exploit Tools Tutorial by KillerSpaz

[Update 1.05.2005]
Happy New Year, and thanks for looking at this... I noticed I had some things to change about the tutorial, so I updated it some.

New Version is 1.43:
-www.PSHD.com is new url for Cricex's compatibility chart
-Added some information about booting the ps2rmp

---------------------------------
Ok, I spent quite some time on this, and figured since the data is not completely organized in a way that's easy to follow, i'd make this....

Some credits/thanks go to:

• The scene of course!
• EntwinedW
• BladeZero
• XMF
• |DV8|
• Someone else i'm sure, if i missed u, tell me...

Credits are in the tutorial, but i wanted to make it more public that i couldn't do this entirely by myself.. I just generated the document - many many discussions on late-night IRC is what made this possible..

Oh, and fill out the poll so as a team we can make this better!

IF YOU CHOOSE A POLL SETTING OF LOWER THAN AWESOME, PLEASE INDICATE WHY IN YOUR POST SO WE CAN MAKE THIS BETTER!

Been somewhat busy with work related stuff and so the PS2 has been collecting dust and still is for some time.

Yet to bring something up for the time being, peeps always keep wondering what the HDLoader Compatibility Modes do. And for everyones information, this was not at all my discovery so I'm not taking any credit from this:

Mode 1: Enable slower HDD access. Passes data from the HDD slower for games that rely on the speed the data is coming from the CDVD.

Mode 2: Enable DVD9 support. (Figure it out yourself)

Mode 3: Remove the Loader from the memory after the game is patched. Some games flush the location where the loader is (because some cheat programs use the same location), and if after that the game resets the IOP (when the loader kicks in to patch stuff) and the system is still patched to enter the loader it crashes.

So there you go. No need to ask about that anymore.
