Nice work. I'll download it to my PS3 and give it a try.

hmm well I change to the ip I use and its not really connecting..so I can't test it lol.

keep hitting attach while svr is running on ps2 and nada

Make sure you have the hdl_dump utility in your /usr/bin directory (just symlink it), I'll be releasing a new version in a couple of days that supports a config file and will be able to use hdl_dump where ever it resides. (it will also come with a precompiled version of hdl_dump)

Nice job! I'll test this later on with my spare 40GB.

New version 0.02 has been released (check top post)
This should fix some problems everyone has been having.

Hey,
thx for the GUI.
But i have following problem. Connecting goes fine, but when i chose the ISO and all needed stuff and i press on 'Install' it just goes to 'Complete' in less than a second.
Is anybody encountering the same problem?

Try running hdl_dumb in a console window and let me know if any output is printed when you click 'Install'. I'll see what I can do.

hey,
thanks for the reply. OK so does the hdl_dump needs to be in a special directory?
I just have it in the same directory, like it was in the archive.
When i open the console and change to the directory, where the files (hdl_dump, ...) are locate and then use ./hdl_dump ... then its working. i already installed games through the hdl_dump command line.

EDIT:
Ok i found out what the problems was caused by.
When you have blanks ' ' in your path or filename it isnt working. I wrote on my own a little helper as bash shell script. And i encountered the same problems with the paths. But when you use the command line (hdl_dump) then its working with the paths. I hope you understand what i mean.
I also noticed, that the hdl_dump uner linux (max. 2,10MB/s) works faster for me than under windows (max. 1,38MB/s).

So, good work!

I was thinking that was the problem. I'm not escaping the spaces. I'll have it fixed now, but my connection to home is down, so I can't recompile it until later today. Thanks for verifying that was the problem, and I'm glad you like the app.

Just a status update, I have a version with local PS2 HD partially working, and should be complete by the end of the week.
