Awesome. That save converter would totally help, since I think that the Max Drive doesn't sound like the most feasible solution, and that seems to be the only thing that GameFAQs is offering. I'm totally going to look into that.

About the code converter software, ARMaxEVO will not read the saves after converting, for some odd reason. I've also had issues converting back to codebreaker format too.. >_>

Also, once you start using uLaunchELF, you can start using other ps2 "client/server" programs to stream stuff to the ps2, like anime, for example, eliminating the use for burning it on CDR/DVDR..

Well, let me explain. I didn't have both at certain points while doing this stuff, so I had to use converting software to convert the saves to the appropriate cheating device. Also, I tried backing up through FTP and the save files went corrupt, so I'd just rather use the cheating devices.

The only program that is recommended to use for a media player on the ps2 is SMS, and it can play every format out there (except dual audio files, and mpg). The program has also been written with XMB's gui!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thanks for the heads up about the save function. I didn't know about that. However, do you have to use a PS2HDD for the mcpaste function to work?
I hope not, 'cause I'm using a slim, and well..
Also, those guides that say it's impossible for the hack to be put on the slimline, I guess I just broke that rule >_>

Oh, it bothers me about the whole not-playing-dual-audio files. But they're working on that.

Trust me, if the xbox does it, I'd buy an xbox if I could. But for right now, my projector and myself are going to have to put up with my ps2.

Both are pretty cool.

Ok, I'm posting this from gfchat, when I explained it to users there. This is how I went about using the memorycard exploit to run uLaunchELF and SMS on my slimline.

<^-^> I've been using it since july >_>
<Krizzzopolis> oh
<^-^> on my slim.
<^-^> that's how I'm able to use SMS with my anime lol~
<Krizzzopolis> link?
<^-^> >_>
<^-^> I just followed the guide >_>
<^-^> burnt SMS to a CD-R
<Taco>

<^-^> and then... I've kinda forgotten the rest LOL
<Taco> oh what is this
<^-^> hold on, it'll come to me
<^-^> I know I had to have SMS on a CD-R to get it to work at first, by manually giving my PS2 a network address
<^-^> then having it save the file as IPCONFIG.DAT or something
<^-^> Ah! that's it!
<^-^> after that, I had uLaunchELF start up it's FTP
<^-^> and bam.
<^-^> yeah.
<^-^> after that you can use any FTP program to browse your pstwo's memcard, etc.
<^-^> while doing that, I uploaded SMS to my memcard
<^-^> and then I just run it off of my memcard and start streaming.
<^-^> Krizz: http://sms.ps2-scene.org/eng/index.htm
<Taco> that sounds really neat
<Taco> could watch all the animu on my external HDD
<^-^> yes Taco you can do that
<^-^> well
<^-^> I don't know what version I have of slimline, but it shouldn't matter.
<^-^> because I explained how to do it >_>
<^-^> using swapmagic + cdr version of sms with uLaunchELF.
<^-^> it shouldn't matter once you have swapmagic and a cd-r though, guys >_>
<^-^> because once you have uLaunchELF put sms on your memcard, then you just manually assign it it's ipaddress, then just kinda go from there
<^-^> you're going to keep using the disc though, but that's just to start up uLaunch.
<^-^> once you have it set up the FTP, then you throw the files on that one program..
<^-^> ugh what's it called
<^-^> Radhost something
<^-^> anyway, throw the files in that and the PS2 will see it, and then stream from it.
<^-^> done.
<^-^> either way, you kind of have to use the CDRuLaunch, just so you can enable the FTP for testing and saving files and such

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes, and no. I have the Swap Magic that loads elf files from a usb source. 3+ I believe. Note, all of this info is coming from the top of my head, because all of my stuff is still back in florida, so I can't give like, serial numbers and exact disc names yet.

Did you try using USBAdvance yet? If you've got an external USB hard drive, you would be able to play imports or copied games that way, assuming that's your thing. The compatibility isn't as good as with HDLoader, but it doesn't suck.

I have use USBLoader, both from my old USB to IDE converter, and my Neuros 440. I wouldn't recommend it for music games such as DDR and IIDX, but RPG's are ok (I played some ollllllllllllllllllldddddddddddddd games on it a long time ago, and then recently (again, in florida) played .hack//G.U. on it) but it's just that the USB on the slim and fatty isn't as fast as HDLoader and such. I just couldn't bear the load times though, so I only use that if I'm really desperate.

How ya doing, buddy?
