Exploit Tutorial for the Total N00B! v1.3

[Dv8-1999]

************************************************** ********

I just updated it.....this tutorial discusses three (four including ExploitSender) methods to install the exploit so you can run .elf applications for the PS2 without a modchip or swap magic disk. You only need an original PS1 game, method to boot a cd ONCE to install, and patience.

I just fixed this so people with a retail hdloader can use it to install the exploit fairly easily. Still adding to it as needed so post your problems here and I will help....good luck.

I also have replaced it to use KeyLauncher as the BOOT.ELF instead....just to make it that much easier for all....ExecFTPs is posted around here somewhere but use this one for my tut....many issues fixed as well....Merry Christmas!!!

Notice: The Exploit does not work in any shape or form for the new PSTWO you got for Christmas!! They are nice looking though.

Problem...I cannot post a file that is 4.7 mb.....it's important to the tutorial....you can come on to #ps2-scene and I wil send it if you really need the new files for AR MAX (and the like) users. <-- I posted a reduced version for AR MAX and Codebreaker NTSC/PAL below as it the most used...other formats could just be changed with PS2 Save Builder 0.8x from a .max save.

hehe gj that should rid a bit of repetative questions dv8

yo DV8, two questions for u......

#1, i dont have an orig HDloader (or HDadvance) but do have both on cd, so would this not apply to me? i know it said "I just fixed this so people with a retail hdloader can use it to install the exploit fairly easily."

#2, what u mean by this? "Noone likes an OWNZER!"? are u refferin to PS 2 OWNZ? grrrr i got ip banned from there today cuz some cat was disin me and this other ps2 noob and i didnt stay quiet, cuz w/e, thats just the way i am....

#1
I think u need the retail hdloader (hdadvance), because u need to run the ExecFTP-cd (or the exploit-cd) off the ps2-hd.
But if u have another way of runnin' stuff offa the ps2-hd u can do that (I believe there is a fixed hdloader-cd-r on the net that can be used to upload stuff to hd... but not run it)

Again it might be more easy to upload the exploit-cd (iso/cue/bin) to the ps2-hd (connect ps2-hd to a free IDE-cable on your pc and use WinHIIP to copy the cd-image onto the ps2-hd). Then run the exploit offa the hd and it install inta the mc (faster than the whole network thing, less flexible tho')

#2
I think u are right about the Patetic Satans 2b evOlved Worse than Nerdy Zebras (or something like that). Im pretty sure that most of the members here has been banned from the place that must not be said ever again. I know just how u feel, because I was banned myself (and I dont even know why). In return I just banned them (IP banned in PeerGuardian).
Lets all hope the poor devils dosnt piss off the wrong guy (or girl ) they might end up with a severe case of DOS-attacks through anonymous chinese proxy, now that wound be sad.

1. You must have a modchip to be running the cd so it would apply to you but it is pointless because with a modchip you can follow the easier straight forward instructions by building the Exploit Installer Disk mentioned first. It's just perfected alot more too.

2. I strongly dislike them....

It only states a retail hdloader because if they don't have mod or swap magic or exploit running already they require a retail copy to do this.....of course it works for all those that use the copy of hdloader on cd or for MC so you could save a disk but I warn ya....I did that section quickly and needs an update plus the new execFTPs v0.69 released today works better.

Please please please do not turn this topic into a ******* flame........half of my interesting posts and replys are closed or in flamerz section.....stop

thanks, this was what I've been looking for. I've actually already installed the exploit on my ps2 (my nephew has a swap-magic thingie and I used his ps2 to install the exploit on my MC) but now I was trying to take things a step further.

yo DV8, that tutorial was the bomb! thanks man. Just FYI, I use swap magic and cd loader to get my HDloader up. Alos, my orig psx game ID was not on the 800 game list. holla

[Dv8-1999]

Will you pm me the SLUS # and I will add it. Thanx guys

it wont add more than 800 games so if you want youd have to take out a SLUS...which isnt too big a problem. make sure you got the signature 100% correct though hypes.

I was able to make a successful copy to mc. But then I realised I have to save to BIDATA ( I have a JAP console) instead of BADATA ( which is what was done). Is there a way to save to BIDATA? Thanks.

what sort of method are you getting the files to MC spherical? if its through a pen drive then you have to make the root/id as BIDATA-SYSTEM. if its execftps then instead of badata just put in bidata or make that directory if its not already there.

[spherical]

I try the one which you pop in the disk and it will automatically install (PS2 Independence Install , right?) anyway, I got the exploit running. I made a BIDATA.npo file and copied to mc using PS2menu.

[Dv8-1999]

Unfortunately I cannot change the folder that installer disk app installs to...you could make an execftps disk...pop that in...and copy everything in the FILES directory to BIDATA-SYSTEM. But now that I read that you do have it working...good job....that works too

hmm this a great tutorial im sure and ive followed it pretty easily, untill the point comes i dont have a usb memory stick.... is there anyway i can load this off a cdr without a modchip or anything? and if so could you explain the files needed to burn and what format the image should be etc. etc.

[Jawadali]

Thanks for the guide. This thread is bookmarked .

Three methods are described....yes it can be put on a cd-r and it includes all the files required to burn with instructions. But you still need a method to boot the cd-r.

You absolutely need either a modchip, ARMAX (I should have stated EVO edition, Swap Magic Disks, or original HDLoader to follow one of the methods. You can pick yourself up a small pendrive at walmart for cheap or find a friend with any of the above methods....you only need to do that once......so go make friends with a person with a modchip and dump him like bad rubbish after your done kidding.

[digitalps2]

Dv8 you should update your tutorial to include another method, AR Max evo without pen drive (Through network) Using my Exploit Sender app.

[Dv8-1999]

Tell me more......I could not find your post last night about it...can you link me?

It sounds very interesting though and may do that as long as it works fine.

[digitalps2]

Yeah it works. (For ar max evo anyway. when someone is kind enough to send me an ethereal analysis of an older version getting a power save from the net I can make it work for that, and that version doesn't have USB, so its the only method for them!)
