hdl dump frontend by Stefy2

[Stefy2]

heres a new version of my frontend with some little new feature (sorry for the language files support but i can't do it for lack of time):

-Support of reading the signature file directly from iso with space in the file name / directory
-auto reading of the signature file when you select the iso
-added support also for cd reading with signature file recognition (by using the read signature file from iso comand)
-dumping of iso supported by hdldump
-support for almost all version of hdldump
-partition manager with info, extract, delete and refresh comand, showing total, used, free disc space and number of games
-auto power off when the batch or normal dump finish
-manual power off
-start server via ps2link
-read Signature file from system.cnf file or on the isos from hdldump (only iso without spaces in filename directory name)
-batch mode to upload varius isos automatically
-english and italian language support
-all files needed included
-save of the configuration on a file to preserve the system registry
-debug mode: add True on a new line of the configuration file to enable it for the dumping process.
-compressed executable
-save of modality used (normal/batch) and ip used last time
-you can dump directly from the first screen

heres the installation program and the plain files
(PS the included hdl dump elf is the one without LBA 48 bit support if you want this support download the least file it's the latest hdldump svr i can find)

wow i can actually get this one to connect! although i dont understand the GUI .... how do i transfer iso's back and forth?

[teclis]

what ports does this program use (for router access, i mean)...I presume since it has IP access there is FAPLink-like capability...

[Stefy2]

to trasfer an iso simply press select iso and insert the name on the name box, select dvd or cd, insert the ip in the ip box in the left corner and press start dump.
--
it uses the hdldump so it uses the one used by hdldump

yea i figured it out THX! and for some reson this is the only hd_dump i have ben able to get working, great job on whatever u did!

[teclis]

the first time i used it, i was getting huge transfer rates in the 3MBps range, but all of a sudden they dwindled down to a measly 0.25MBps....why is this?

I can't seem to get this thing to connect.
I have the correct IP, it pings ok, but I just can't connect.
I made sure that zonealarm isn't blocking it from accessing the net.
Anything i need to do with my router?

I'm sick of opening and messing around in my pc, those parts aren't designed to be disturbed too often.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for making an effort to making these programs!

I haven't tried the program yet - just asking first!!
I have tried using both LordBoGami and WinHIIP to transfer files onto my HDD.
The programs does see the hdd, and I can transfer files..
..but when I insert the hdd into PS2, hdloader reports no games
Because of this - Iam now using the network transfer method.
Its pain-in-the-ass, takes long time, 1hour pr game, but works

Is your program any better ?

[Stefy2]

five40 you should let also acces to hdldump.exe, for the ports i don't know what it uses.
deepdown: it's based on hdldump so it works like any frontend, the only difference are optional features (like power off ps2) and how is organised the frontend it's up to you what's better

I gave hdldump access thru zonealarm, anyone knows what port hdldump uses or what I'm doing wrong.
