PS2Menu-K v.30 ----------------------- (See end of file for What's New) This is my first project for the PS2. It's a version of PS2Menu modified specificly to be used as an exploit BOOT.ELF, though it can still be used in most of the other ways it always could be. So what's important about this version of PS2Menu? HD<->MC support! Now completely overhauled! The current version will create a 512MB partitionon your HD to store the saved game archive. Use R1 and select Saves to view the archive. To back up a game on the MC, highlight the directory (you can push SQUARE when a directory is highlighted to see what game it is) to archive, push START, and selct MC Backup from the menu. It'll add an entry to the archive for the game. To get something out of the archive, just highlight it and hit X. If a saved game of the same name is already on the MC, it'll ask if you want to overwrite it. That's about it. Other features: if running over ps2link, you can use Host Dest from the menu to use your PC as the copy destination enabling you to download files from the PS2 to your PC. You can push R2 to get the size of a highlighted file (doesn't work on subdirs yet). Eliminated features: NPO extraction has been disabled until I rewrite the code to make it add the npo to the archive instead of extracting it to the MC. TGZ decompression is disabled 'cause iuntar kept not working when I was trying to test it. Currently, it may or may not have enough safe guards to keep you from doing something stupid. So just try to avoid doing them. DON'T MESS WITH THE ARCHIVE PARTITION! If you damage something, mostly the index file, your database could be screwed up. If the index does get corrupted, you can still salvage your saved games but it'll be a pain finding which saves are in which subdirectories. Big thanks to the authors of the original PS2Menu for making this and my future projects a hell of a lot easier. Bugs: The times displayed in the archive aren't correct. They seem to be off by about 13 hours. Not that critical that it's very important. To Do Soon: -maybe fix iuntar -fix time -set the time on the files back to it's original time when extracted from the archive -get the date for the archive file from the oldest file of the saved game, not the main file (usually the main is the last modified but sometimes it's not) To Do Maybe someday: -mp3 player (if I can ever find some sample code to base it on. Music and video compression are not my things) Sample code for the "To Do Maybe someday" section would be appreciated. If you don't know where to find me, just look for Kaylakaze. See the README-Org.txt file for the original PS2Menu readme, partially censored due to community rifts. Get PS2Menu for all the greets and thanks from the original authors. Version .30 ------------- -DON'T HIT SELECT. Okay, you can but it won't do anything. Actually it does if you have the right files in your current partition but even then, do to the instability of ps2ftpd, it doesn't work well. With the help of Team Wank3rs, I hope to have full FTP capability soon. -I added a JPG viewer. The file must have the extension jpg or JPG, not mixed. Use the analog sticks to scroll and zoom. The D-pad scrolls and Square and Circle zoom but the sticks are better. Triangle exits, R1 goes to the next picture, L1 to the previous picture, and R2 starts the 5 second slideshow (which for some reason stops sometimes). -libjpg isn't very tolerant of it's files so a lot of your stuff may say it's corrupt or come out funny. Some may even cause a lockup, though not often. -NPO extraction works. File extension must be NPO or npo. Hit X on the file and it'll extract to your MC. Make sure you have enough room on the MC or it may screw up. -New font! -The help page still hasn't been updated so it's not perfect. -Starts up on your HD, not the Saves screen since I suppose this confused many of the idiots out there who won't be offended by me calling them idiots because they won't read this anyway, and then start whining when they lose all thier saved games (though I still don't know how you can accidently do that). -HDLoader's game partitions no longer show up since they can't be read and just get in the way. Version .21b ------------ bugfix release Version .21 ----------- -Fixed the Upload function. Upload will read ul-list.txt from host: and upload all files in it to the current copy target. The ul-list.txt file is identical to the elflist.txt file. Example: F:\ps2dev\ps2menu\bin\PS2MNU-K.ELF F:\ps2dev\ps2menu\bin\README-Org.txt F:\ps2dev\ps2menu\bin\readme.txt F:\ps2dev\ps2menu\bin\ul-list.txt You can easily make this file from a directory with the dos command "dir /b /f >ul-list.txt" |
