I've been busy the past week fixing ps2client, mostly because my toolchain is fairly broken and I haven't gotten around to reverting to older patches and rebuilding. Code cleanup, bugfixing, adding some new commands, etc... its all in cvs now. What this means is I'd like people to test it. Play with it. Break it a bit. I want to make sure its fairly solid before I tag it and make a release.

Some things that are new:

1) Finally, execiop works. Yay!

2) New ps2netfs commands. These let you do basic fileio on the ps2 when the ps2netfs module is loaded:

ps2client <hostname> copyfrom <source> <destination>
ps2client <hostname> copyto <source> <destination>
ps2client <hostname> delete <filename>
ps2client <hostname> devlist
ps2client <hostname> dir <directory>
ps2client <hostname> format <device>
ps2client <hostname> mkdir <directory>
ps2client <hostname> mount <device> <fsname>
ps2client <hostname> rename <source> <destination>
ps2client <hostname> rmdir <directory>
ps2client <hostname> sync <device>
ps2client <hostname> umount <device>

3) New listen-mode to just capture log output from ps2link:

ps2client <hostname> listen

4) Timeout values for some ps2link commands. This will allow ps2client to exit after a specified number of milliseconds of inactivity from ps2link. Works good for scripts that load a bunch of irx files, in fact here's the one I use for ps2netfs testing:

## Load the MC modules.
ps2client 192.168.100.10 execiop host:sio2man.irx 1000
ps2client 192.168.100.10 execiop host:mcman.irx 1000

## Load the HDD modules.
ps2client 192.168.100.10 execiop host:ps2atad.irx 1000
ps2client 192.168.100.10 execiop host:ps2hdd.irx 7000
ps2client 192.168.100.10 execiop host:ps2fs.irx 2000

## Load ps2netfs itself.
ps2client 192.168.100.10 execiop host:ps2netfs.irx 1000

5) Build-time options for chatty/debug output, and cygwin sockets since they are a bit different than the unix-style sockets I've been using:

make install CHATTY=YES DEBUG=YES CYGWIN=YES

6) New 'wxvu' commands (untested):

ps2client <hostname> dumpmem <filename> <offset> <size> [timeout]
ps2client <hostname> startvu <0/1>
ps2client <hostname> stopvu <0/1>
ps2client <hostname> dumpreg <filename> <type> [timeout]
ps2client <hostname> gsexec <filename> <size> [timeout]

7) Documentation of the ps2link and ps2netfs protocols in the fancy new doc directory.

Hmm, I can't think of anything else in particular. Poke around with it. Have fun. Etc etc.

Simple. You can't send arguments yet. :)

I just added the timeout stuff this afternoon. I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do with it yet. Any suggestions?

I probably should move to a proper way of parsing arguments with getopt or something... Hmm.

Yeah.. having even a halfway proper argument parsing would be nice.

-t1000 or something for timeouts.

If nothing else, put the time out BEFORE the filename to load, then when you finally get around to allowing arguments (why aren't you yet?!?!) it'll work out better.

Made some changes, here's a blurb from readme.txt:

I've just imported my latest changes to ps2client. Arguments to execee/execiop are working great, a bug with large transfers in ps2netfs commands has been been fixed and there's a whole bunch of error checking and reporting.

So, give it a try. If nothing big pops up in the next day or so I'm going to tag and release it.

Now to write some documentation...

Tagged, released. Fetch the source for ps2client v2.0.0 at my site:

Further to this, I've now discovered that after the CTRL C
the drivers appear to stay loaded.
However when I try and load iomanx.irx it does not load

Those specific instructions were written back when ps2client had a built-in timeout value. This didn't work so well, so now you can specify one on the command line. Try this instead:

## Load the MC modules.
ps2client -t 1 execiop rom0:SIO2MAN
ps2client -t 1 execiop rom0:MCMAN

## Load the HDD modules.
ps2client -t 1 execiop host:ps2atad.irx
ps2client -t 7 execiop host:ps2hdd.irx -n 2 -o 4
ps2client -t 2 execiop host:ps2fs.irx

## Load ps2netfs itself.
ps2client -t 1 execiop host:ps2netfs.irx

The timeout value is how long (in seconds) to wait since the last bit of activity from the PS2 before quitting. Notice that ps2hdd.irx needs extra time to for the disc to spin up. Also notice that you can add arguments on the command line as well.

Enjoy!

Thanks :)

I've tried that and here are the results - not good - still complains
about iomanx not being found.

Hmm, I don't know anything about that. Perhaps someone else will see this and be able to help you.

Somehow I've managed to run ps2link and ps2netfs (you should consider a tutorial or something). So far I can execute basic commands, such as "./ps2client.exe dir mc0:/PS2LINK/", etc. I even succeed in mounting the HDD ("./ps2client.exe mount hdd:/" works nevertheless command returns "[ERROR] Mount device failed. (-1)"; that point needs explanation, I think) and now I'm able to execute "./ps2client.exe dir hdd:":
