[PS2] USB Flash Drive for Save Backups

Originally Posted by uLaunchELF Documentation

LaunchELF is designed to run in a variety of situations. Most users run the program from either the hard drive or memory card, but it is also possible to run LaunchELF from CD or DVD. Depending on your system setup, you may consider using one of these methods.

* Run LaunchELF directly from CD/DVD
* Use Swap Magic 3.6's USB functionality to boot mass:/SWAPMAGIC/SWAPMAGIC.ELF from USB mass storage device
* Use your modchip's Devolution Mode 1 (DEV1) to allow direct boot from memory card on system startup
* Use your modchip's Devolution Mode 2 (DEV2) to allow direct boot from hard drive on system startup
* Use M.R.Brown's PS2 Independence Exploit to allow boot from memory card when an assigned PSX disc is inserted

The first two options are often used by users who have a Playstation 2 which is incompatible with the exploit and do not have a modchip, but have a Swap Magic. It is less favourable to the other methods since it is harder to upgrade the program, and frequent swaps are required in order to use the program. You can however boot LaunchELF from CD/DVD and use it to copy itself to the desired location on your memory card or hard drive.

The last three options require LaunchELF to be stored on a storage medium generally only accessible from the Playstation 2. Most modchips look for the Devolution Boot Executable in mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF or hdd0:/__boot/boot.elf. The PS2 Independence Exploit looks for the boot executable in mc0:/BxDATA-SYSTEM. The x represents your PS2's region (I=Japan/Asia, A=America, E=Europe).

Oh christ. I have no idea what kind of modchip I have, or if it has that exploit. TIME TO DO SOME RESEARCH.

How ya doing, buddy?

Unless it is ancient, it can probably do one or the other Dev mode. Even if it cannot, it will be possible for you to make an exploit installer CD that will allow you to put it on the memory card. No matter what you have, there's a really good chance this will work out in your favour.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Guys, where can I get a Codebreaker for the PS2? I looked at the EBGames website and they don't have it...

Forget about it. The EB Games search function sucks. Code Breaker finds it, CodeBreaker doesn't.

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

So are you telling me that PC type HD does work with PS2? That would be cool. Do all PS2 PAL games can be run from the hard drive? And do I have to have a modchip to run games on HD or to use that HDloader and LaunchELF? I admit I am a newbie to that thing :/

I was speaking idiomatically.

If you have the fat PS2, you can run the memory card exploit. Setting it up is a fairly involved process, and it will go a lot easier on you if you have something like the Action Replay that allows you to transfer saves to your memory card. Swap magic will work too.

Once you have the files transferred across, you need a PS1 game (any game) to act as the trigger disc. With regards to compatibility, the official list claims that (with the latest patch) HDLoader is compatible with 86% of all games. I've been very lucky. There are only a tiny handful of games I've tried that didn't work.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Thanks for bothering. Anyway could you tell me few things about HD and PS2? Let's say we have a clean, fat, PAL PS2 without modchip. What do we need to store all original PAL games on HD (HD Loader, Network Adapter just everything)?

If I understood right, PS2 works with PC type hard drives, right? But then is it ATA100, ATA133, Serial ATA, 2,5'' (notebook type) or 3,5'' (standard)? Do you think for example, that Samsung Spinpoint series work with the PS2?

Thanks again. I am a gaming veteran, but what you said is totally outstanding.

You need a network adapter, an appropriate hard drive, and some method of transferring files to your memory card. Any of the various cheat devices that allow you to do this will work. For example, the Action Replay Max Drive, the SharkPort, and things like that. If you have a Swap Magic, you can use that too. If you don't have any of these things, you need to purchase one. Finally you will need an original PS1 game. Any will do.

The next step is to prepare the memoryexploit on your PC. If you're ready to do this then you should consult the thread and tuturial here. You may need to register. Preparing and transferring the exploit is covered in that tutorial, and it's only a slight ball-ache.

Then you can boot your exploit by triggering it with your PS1 game, and transfer additional files onto your PS2 via FTP. You will want to install HDLoader of course, and possibly install uLaunchELF as your front end.

When you get to that stage, you can either transfer games via the network, or copy original discs by placing them in the PS2 drive. It's a learning process. You'll have mastered it in a few weeks, so don't worry if it sounds complex now.

It has to be Paralel ATA, since the network adapter only works with this particular type of drive. It also has to be a 3.5" drive, and a very small number of models will not physically fit the hard-wired connectors. I use Hitachi, but I don't hear any bad things about Samsung drives when used with PS2.

Your imports will thank you.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It truly sounds little complicated :P To worry you, I have few more questions.

1. It may sound dumb, but what does the Action Replay have to do with transfering files to memory card. How does it work?

2. I don't get it. How to transfer something to PS2 via FTP? O_O Do you mean File Transfer Protocol?

3. Do I have to put a PS1 game each time I want to play a PS2 game from HD?

4. On the PS2HD compatibility list I saw something like "works with mode 3". What does it mean?

5. Can I save all PS2 games on HD by just placing them in drive? What with PS2 CDs and these dvd9 like Gran Turismo 4?

6. Are you sure I don't need a modchip to run PAL games from HD?

7. Are there any pros besides size while using non-Sony HDs? And if I am using non-Sony one: is there a difference if I use ATA 100 or ATA 133? Or can it be even old ATA 66?

8. Do I need something special to run fan-made emus from HD? And how to put them on that HD? By coping it from PC's HD or by inserting some CD-R?

I know it's much and it's newbie like but it's better to ask an expert than to google for faqs. Thanks again, man!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The PS2 Action Replay Max comes with the Max Drive, a USB pendrive that you can plug into the USB port on the PS2. You can then use the AR software to transfer saves to and from the memory card in .max format. I've not used the SharkPort, but I believe it's the Game Shark equivalent. If you have Swap Magic, or intend to buy it, you can boot a CD with uLaunchELF, and use any USB pendrive. Swap Magic involves using a slide card though, which I'm not keen on.

Quote:

2. I don't get it. How to transfer something to PS2 via FTP? O_O Do you mean File Transfer Protocol?

I do. Once the exploit is installed, you can transfer files to your PS2 by using uLaunchELF's built in FTP server. There is also a stand-alone FTP server application, but uLaunchELF is superior.

Quote:

3. Do I have to put a PS1 game each time I want to play a PS2 game from HD?

Yes. The PS1 game is what triggers the exploit. Once the exploit has been configured to recognise the PS1 game you intend to use, instead of loading the game in question, you will be able to boot homebrew applications from your memory card. If you want to play that PS1 game again, just don't have the exploit memory card in your PS2.

Quote:

4. On the PS2HD compatibility list I saw something like "works with mode 3". What does it mean?

There are different compatibility modes which can be enabled on a per-game basis. Some games won't work without a specific mode being enabled. Mode 3 is one of these.

Quote:

5. Can I save all PS2 games on HD by just placing them in drive? What with PS2 CDs and these dvd9 like Gran Turismo 4?

It is true that not as many games on CD (blue discs) are compatible as games on single-layer DVD, but many of them do work. They can be copied just by placing them in the drive tray. Even games which aren't compatible can be copied to the hard drive, but there's not much point in that. Dual-Layer games also suffer from a lower compatibility rate, but some do work. They must be ripped on the PC, and manually transferred using an application called WinHIIP though.

Quote:

6. Are you sure I don't need a modchip to run PAL games from HD?

Let me put it in practical terms for you. I use a PAL PS2, and I don't have a modchip. I am able to run both NTSC-U and NTSC-J titles direct from the hard drive without a problem.

Quote:

7. Are there any pros besides size while using non-Sony HDs? And if I am using non-Sony one: is there a difference if I use ATA 100 or ATA 133? Or can it be even old ATA 66?

You won't be able to fit many games on your Sony HD, but it will work. It doesn't matter what transfer rate your drive supports, but HDLoader is compatible with UDMA transfer modes up to 133 MB/s and will take advantage of higher transfer rates for reduced loading times.

Sometimes you need to manually force a lower transfer rate for the sake of compatibility though. This is easily done. Overall, you can use almost any old drive you happen to have laying around. Here is a non-exhaustive compatibility list. Don't pay any attention to the games compatibility notes on that page, since it refers to HDAdvance which is a retail product that you can buy. It uses the same HDLoader you can download from SKSApps.com, but without the benefit of the latest community patches.

Quote:

8. Do I need something special to run fan-made emus from HD? And how to put them on that HD? By coping it from PC's HD or by inserting some CD-R?

Once you've installed the exploit that we've been discussing, the easiest way would be for you to run them on your PS2 hard drive. You can launch them using the excellent uLaunchELF, also available from SKSApps.com.

uLaunchELF is pretty much the best front-end for PS2 Homebrew. When you install the exploit, if you use the files from that tutorial, it will use KeyLauncher as the front-end, but you can replace that (and should) with uLaunchELF, which is fully skinnable, and has a built-in FTP server, file manager, and everything else you will ever need.

If you PM me when you're ready to get to work, I'll provide you with a custom exploit using uLaunchELF that you can just download and install. Let me know what installation method you're using so I know whether to prepare it for the AR Max Drive, or the Sharkport, or whatever else.

If I didn't want to provide help with this I would have not spoken about it in the first place. I don't mind.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Again :/

1. Is this Action Replay max always containing that flash drive, or not? I saw some boxed sets with 8MB memory card.

2. To be honest I don't know how can you just transfer something to PS2 via FTP? Could you tell something more?

3. Weren't PS2 CDs purple? Or purple and blue? I hope most of them work.

4. Does the HD which I would insert in PS2 need to be formatted in some "special" way?

Thanks for your future help. To be honest I wonder if it is worth a hassle considering I would play PAL games mostly. Anyway I wish to know as much as I can before I decide. Anyway such helping attitude isn't a very common thing so I highly appreciate it (well, maybe on Gamingforce ). If you ever need any help, just ask. I may be dumbass in HD/PS2 stuff but I might know other things.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's the one you need. You can clearly see the 'Max Drive' on the front of the pack. It's called the "Evo Edition".

Quote:

2. To be honest I don't know how can you just transfer something to PS2 via FTP? Could you tell something more?

Dead simple. First connect your PS2 network adapter to your LAN. Then go into the config menu in uLaunchELF and select network configuration. Configure the IP address settings to suit your network, and save the settings. Then go to the "Misc" menu and start the FTP server. Then just connect to your PS2 using the IP address you selected earlier. You can browse the contents of the hard drive and the memory cards over the network. Obviously in order to do this you need uLaunchELF, which means you already need to have the exploit working. Which is why you need the Max Drive to get it set up.

3. Weren't PS2 CDs purple? Or purple and blue? I hope most of them work.

Whatever color they were exactly isn't important. It's something in the blue spectrum, but they are slightly more problematic than DVD games. I've managed to get a lot of them working, but what works is what's on that list. If a title is not on the list, it may or may not work...

Quote:

4. Does the HD which I would insert in PS2 need to be formatted in some "special" way?

Either the HDLoader itself or WinHIIP (the PC application) can handle this, so no worries. It is a different filesystem than normal, but you don't need to know anything about it. When you first boot HDLoader from your memory card, it will ask you if you want to format your drive.

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

Ah. So I have to have a PCI Ethernet Lan Card, right?

And about that pendrive. So I would have to buy Action Replay Max Evo Edition - that's clear. But does this set contain a real Action Replay, which can be seen here:

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...V40407922_.jpg.

Or do I have to buy it separatelly? Heck, do I need that thing for something? Or just the pendrive will do?

You are da man :-)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Or a built-in lan adapter on your motherboard. Most motherboards from the last five years or so seem to have them.

And about that pendrive. So I would have to buy Action Replay Max Evo Edition - that's clear. But does this set contain a real Action Replay, which can be seen here:
There's another page here that might explain a bit more clearly. It does contain the bootable AR Max disc in addition to the pendrive. It can be used as a standard AR Max, or in conjunction with the pendrive.

Quote:

Without the bootable CD, your PS2 will not access the pendrive. You do need this to set up the exploit, but the Evo Edition contains the disc and the pendrive.

How ya doing, buddy?

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..

Judging from you comment below, I can't figure out why you'd be using the AR Max EVO or the Codebreaker to transfer saves. If you have uLaunchELF, and a working Independance Exploit, you don't need either of those things to backup and restore your save files. You don't need them for anything that I can think of, once you have uLaunchELF running.

If you need any help transferring saves with uLaunchELF, please let me know. I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have either here in this thread or by PM. If there's another reason you need to use these devices, then I'd be intrigued to hear it. Perhaps there is a creative solution.

This of course is true, but with the limitations of the various media players on PS2, the XBox is a more natural platform for this kind of thing anyway. They are now so cheap (even new) that I'd recommend anyone to get one just for use as a media centre. Even if you have no interest in XBox games, the homebrew scene (primarily XMBC) is first-rate.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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!

The problem you had when backing up saves by FTP is easy to solve. I'm guessing you took the files directly off the memory card via FTP. That would probably have been your mistake. If you copy them to the PS2 HDD first, using uLaunchELF's 'MCPaste' function, that will preserve the special file attributes that PS2 memory cards expect. Then you need to use MCPaste to put them back on the memory card too. It creates a special file containing information about the extended attributes that it can use to properly set them when you restore the files to your memory card.

Once the saves are on the hard drive, complete with their special attribute file, you can freely FTP them, copy them, do what you want with them. You just need to make sure to retain the attribute file. If that's lost, the saves will show as corrupt, every time.

I probably didn't do the best job of explaining that, but I hope it helps you. If you continue using your cheat devices to transfer files, I am sure that will work for you, but it's not as convenient as FTPing.

It doesn't bother you not being able to play MKV and OGM files? That's the only limitation I was referring to, and it would bug the crap out of me. I guess I'm just waaaaay too spoiled by XBMC.

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.

Off the top of my head, a USB flash drive would work. I don't know if the slimline can use those, but I'm assuming it would. You can MCPaste files either from a memory card to any medium other than a memory card, or vice-versa. Since it's essentially performing a conversion of sorts, you can't MCPaste files from a memory card to a memory card... because there would normally be no need.

Since I've got limited experience of the slimlines, the safest thing for me to say is that you can copy 'em to any filesystem you can connect to your PS2, as long as you are using uLaunchELF to do so.

There's even a way to do it across the network to your PC... but that's complicated, and I haven't done much with it yet. Essentially it involves running software on your PC to permit incoming connections from uLaunchELF. If that's your preferred option, I can probably advise you... but I'll need to try it out more thoroughly for myself first.

Quote:

They do indeed. I've never tried it, but it's a generally accepted scene rule as far as I know... I'm distinctly curious. Any idea what version your slimline is?

The xbox does indeed do it. It has limited support for styled softsubs, but there's hope for that in the future. XBMC development moves at a glacial pace though...

I guess if the SMS devs are working on MKV/OGM support, they could easily surpass XBMC soon. If they can implement styled ASS/SSA subtitles, I'm going to have to eat my words. I'll be thoroughly delighted to, of course.

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 was speaking idiomatically.

I see. You've found a fairly creative way to sidestep the part of the process that won't work with slimline consoles. I'm assuming you have the version of Swap Magic that allows you to execute ELF files direct from the memory card. Mine can do that, but I never tried it, because I was able to install a modified TITLE.DB file and set up autobooting throught the Independance Exploit.

Your way is pretty decent for a slimline though. I'll remember that.

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.

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.

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?

I'm having trouble backing up my save files.


I followed the instructions of using the mcPaste function to copy the save files from the memory card to my usb drive (an Ipod shuffle, in this case). When I open the folder up in windows, I see the PS2_MC_Backup_Attributes.BUP file.

I then mcPaste it back from the usb drive to the memory card, then proceed to run the corresponding game. I get the corrupted data error.


Any suggestions would be helpful!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Alright, I have my PS2 with a Slide Card and Swap Magic 3.8 + Coder... I've been trying to figure out the best way to copy my memory card data to my 1 GB USB Flashdrive and therefore help clear up space on my memory card so I can save some games again (I'm no where close to beating Fatal Frame to get back my 1,800 KBs of space its eating up).

I've heard about booting ulaunchELF (which I cannot seem to find anywhere... I think its up to v. 3.55) from either a CD or the USB drive itself using Swap Magic. Does it have a transfering program built in to copy from the memory card to the USB flashdrive and vice versa? If I could get this to work, I think it would work best... but I am very ignorant about such stuff still and haven't even been able to find it anywhere to test it.

The other way I've read is to use Action Replay MAX EVO (which I'm downloading now, but I'll have to burn it myself since I don't have much money after just getting Swap Magic and the slide card with replacement cover, heh). This would work, but I've heard a lot of horror stories of loosing all saves, copying the data and then becoming corrupted/unable to uncompress, or only copying parts of the memory card... I'd really hate for this to happen (wouldn't we all?)... as keeping these saves is the main reason I wanted to copy them elsewhere to begin with. Maybe there a specific way to avoid the data loss?

I think it would also be fun to mess with the Save Builder utility and/or downloading saves off the internet... but this is less important...

Thank you for any help. I'd test out the MAX EVO route when it finishes... but I'm too much of a coward.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
