Pfsshell ?

Hi there,

can someone please explain how to use pfsshell released on hdldump.psx-scene.com? Has anyone compiled the SOURCE on Mac OS X? If someone already did it please post the binary!

Greetings ONI

Unless you're using an Intel Mac there is no point trying, as

When can we have those features? What is missing? I'll put it on my debian 3.0 for now, but I would really like to see it compile on my G4/450 dual..

The most beautiful however would be to be able to mount it:

Code:

---

mount -t pfs /dev/hdb1 /mount/ps2volume/

Anyway it will be nice to know how to use it under windows. Opened the command prompt but it seems to ignore every command entered!?!

I think it's for patching games that are already installed.

PPC is big endian( http://tuvix.apple.com/documentation..._BOOK.24e.html ), I tried to compile it and this is how far it gets,
there is a problem with shared objects(dylib / so), as usual with MacOS X

Code:

---

$ make
make -C fake_sdk/
        CC  hio_dbg.c
        CC  hio_trace.c
        CC  hio_udpnet.c
        CC  hio_win32.c
        CC  byteseq.c
        CC  net_common.c
        CC  dict.c
        CC  progress.c
        CC  osal_unix.c
        LNK libfakeps2sdk.so
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: unrecognized option '-shared'
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_main
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libfakeps2sdk.so] Error 1
make: *** [libfakeps2sdk] Error 2

I tried here with an intel Mac but no luck, same error. I even tried with intel icc compiler, but I have the same "_main undefined symbol".

Maybe MacOS and/or MacOS' gcc doesn't support shared libraries, and/or the switch to do so is not named "-shared". And, BTW, I think you'll need the same endianess as the IOP CPU.

Has anyone had any luck with PFSShell over a network? I get this when I use the device command.

cmd:
device 192.168.1.6

return:
ps2hdd: PS2 APA Driver v1.1 (c) 2003 Vector
ps2hdd: max open = 1, 3 buffers
ps2hdd: 17:08:21 10/31/2006
192.168.1.6: No error
hio: 192.168.1.6: open failed with -1

I suppose you've started hdld_svr.elf on your PS2? ... Can connect to it with your GUI? ... And have you stopped your GUI before trying pfsshell (because hdl_dump server cannot handle more that one connected client simultaneously)?
