I have completted assembling a package (of packages) which I decided to call PS2XME. The package contains exploit save game images for US and Europe (Japan is not included with this release). For the US there is 602 PS1 games which will trigger the exploit and for the EU there is 209 PS1 games (the lists are included). The save file formats include support for Pelican's CodeBreaker CBS format, Datel's MAX format, GameShark's P2M format, legacy SPS/XPS format and nPort's NPO format. Installing the save requires a Play Station 2 memory card with 1MB of free space. Included software is PS2MENU, PS2LINK, mcloader/cdgenps2, InLink and Ps2Exec. The README file is written such that a novice should be able to follow it. The entire ZIP file weighs in at 6MB.

I am looking for two things:

In the short term, I would like testers/feedback. If you have an email account that will accept 6MB attachments, please feel free to use the forum messages function to provide me your email address.

For the long term, is anyone willing to provide this file a home on a website?

Thanks

This is an excellent idea fluke. You should be able to add the .zip to ps2dev.org. If you can't talk to Oobles.

any chance of this getting hosted, so those of us that dont have a 6mb email can get our hands on this? also with the max format, does that work with the max drive also? may be a stupid question but thanks any how.

Good job!
A wide range of exploit save files is something I've been wanting to do for a while, but just too lazy and too many other projects to get it done. If you need a place I can put them on my site at least for now. If interested let me know.

The "Loaders" section of PS2DEV has been updated to include PS2XME. Please provide feedback and I'll try to update the package accordingly.

Thanks

Well, the version of ps2menu on your exploit has a bit of a showstopper bug. UNfortunately, it's diffiuclt to fix. The linked libhdd has a nasty bug that shows up when copying files to the hard drive that can corupt the active partition. I'm not familiar with what exactly triggers the bug, though.

The following PSX games I own are not in the games-eu.txt:

SCES_037.12 Peter Pan
SCES_014.31 Tarzan

Might be useful.

Thanks,

EDIT: The EXTRACONF.DAT within the BEDATA XPS save appears to be pointing to mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/PS2NETFS.IRX not mc0:/BEDATA-SYSTEM/PS2NETFS.IRX, which I assume is wrong????

Has anybody had trouble getting execftp 0.68 working with the ps2link (1.24b) that was included in this save? The PS2 keeps closing the connection on me. When I finally was able to change 1.24b to 1.24, everything worked fine. Note that the ftp client I was using was flashFXP.

Thanks

The following link contains an "all-in-one" version of Naplink that should work with the exploit:

Another idea: Is it possible to write a driver for PS2, with which the PS2 can be connected by USB to a PC and behaves like a USB Pen Drive, with access to the memcard? Then you could simply plugin the USB cable to whatever PC (or even Mac) you want and you can move the files like to a normal USB Pen Drive.

just use host: from ps2menu

I wonder if someday I'll ever understand the facination people have with combining memorycards and usb devices. How many savegames do these people have??

When you warez dozens (if not hundreds) of games off the 'Net, you accumulate save files very quickly :P.

O.K. I downloaded this exploit, installed it following the guide to the T. After it did all the loading, and got to the ps2menu, it loaded up for about an instant. Then it went to a blank screen with only the words: "It is currently using mode 4." Any ideas?

I'm new to this community and Play Station 2 eXploit Made Easy (PS2XME) seems the best way for me to get my feet wet. The problem is, the part about using Codebreaker (Item 5) appears incomplete! After copying the cbs file to flash drive, it is not mentioned again. How do I proceed with development and running a program? Do some of the actions in the following Item about Max also pertain to CB?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
