Re: Can this be done?

[DrMoMan]

I have successfully installed the MC Exploit and have about 10 games on my 40g HDD using HDL .08b. I just bought a Seagate 160g HDD and would like to set it up so that I have different sections on the HDD for different games. Including myself, I have a 6 year old and a 9 year old that share the PS2. I would like load HDL or another ELF to show only the games that I would like my 6 year old to play when he plays (i.e. E games), likewise for 9 year old and than myself. I am currently using uLaunch 4.08 and could program the keys but don?t where to go from here. Or is this is possible?

Many thanks

At present it is not possible to do what you want with available ELFs.

It would be possible to make an extensively patched HDLoader ELF, using different ID codes for its partition types, as well as different names for all HDL-related partitions. This ELF would also need some extra support program to create the new partitions needed for its coexistence with normal HDLoader. After using that program, the patched HDL version could be used alternately with the normal one, with the effect that you wanted. Each of those two versions would only 'see' the games installed for itself. So it is possible to create such a setup.

However, that is no reason to get your hopes up, as I don't believe anyone will actually go through with such a project. While it is possible, it's also a very impractical and demanding task. I think it will only happen if someone with the necessary competence has the same need as you...
