#Mgs3 uncompressed boot.elf download ps2

The PS2 network adapter (the hard drive plugs into this).

(Maxtor good, WD bad? PS2 land is BACKWARDSLAND!) Compatibility database. I have a 200GB Maxtor Diamondmax10 which works wonderfully. Western Digital drives are the most problematic as many of them don’t physically fit. Maxtor drives fit the best in the bay, as the ‘official’ PS2 HD was a Maxtor.

A compatible 3.5? IDE harddrive (most are).

Some free software tools (we’ll get to these later!) - Windows only.A USB flash drive for ARMAX or Codebreaker (possible without one with ARMAX, but much easier with).

I bought ARMAX for $30 and it came with a free 16MB memory card which was perfect for the exploit and homebrew software!) Make sure to check the box for this feature, old versions of each are still sold). (8.0+ for CB and 3.30+ for AR are CONFIRMED. Make sure your version of either supports USB drives. Easiest way by far is through Action Replay MAX or Codebreaker. A way to get files onto a PS2 memory card.Memory card with preferably 1MB+ available (~200kb min for exploit, ~900kb min for exploit+HD).This disc will be used to trigger the exploit. ‘Fat’ PS2, any version except v11 (which might work?).This bug was fixed in v12 (possibly v11). Naturally, we will run a ‘launcher’ program which can then be used to run whatever software we wish on the PS2. By creating an incorrect entry in the file TITLE.DB (which the PS2 uses to store compatibility information for certain PS1 games), we can cause a buffer overflow and run an unencrypted program stored on a memory card. What we’re actually doing is exploiting a bug in the PS2’s PSX compatibility driver. In reality, we aren’t ‘modding’ anything, save the contents of a memory card. Geeky Note: I am using the word ’softmod’ because it is common terminology. Note: Some programs may have been updated since the screenshots have been taken, but things are still should mostly the same.Ĭontrary to popular belief, 'softmodding' is not just for XBox! Assuming you have a v1 - v10 PS2 (everything except slimline and possibly the rare v11), it’s quite possible and not too difficult to softmod a PS2. Neither him nor I am responsible if you fuck up your PS2. I had no part in writing this, other than re-hosting images and files for mirroring here.
