If you cannot launch DEV1 (boot from MC card upon pressing R1 on booting up) then your modchip cant support DEV1. Chances are ure dont have these types of higher end modchip if yours is installed by those "friendly neighbourhood game shops". If u are interested pm ekai one of the forumners known to offer installation of better PS2 modchip service.

The exploit is for those without a modded PS2 to run hdloader. (non modded ps2, use ori ps1 cd to trigger the hdloader from memcard - exploit hence the name).

In your case, since you have a modded ps2, provided newer clone modchip, will boot from ori / "burned backup" hdloader cd. Therefore exploit is rather pointless unless u want to show your friends you're booting hdloader from memcard. I'll say save those MC spaces for game saves instead.

IINM some better clone chip like XENO chip is much cheaper but do have DEV 1 feature.

for DEV1, it will boot BOOT.ELF from mc0:BOOT/BOOT.ELF or mc0:BADATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF?

do crystal chip support DEV1 n DEV2 also?
nearly same from what i done... thx for the link..

People need to use exploit are those with non modded ps2 (those bought from sony wings). The rest of us dont need it (as 100% the "friendly game shop" already modded it - modchip quality varies but usually an el-cheapo one).

Depends on the install script used, but if you used ones downloaded from many scene sites, when you succesfully installed the exploit on your mem card, you can use an ori ps1 cd that you include the code with, to trigger your ps2 to launch hdloader from memcard. (keyword again = non modded ps2, ori ps1 cd)

The rest of us just need clean hdloader, apply approapriate patch (and patch it to stop cd spin after loading), that saves the lens already.

IINM crystal have dev1 not sure dev2.

Does anyone here know if it makes any difference? i usually just copy game by game basis not the whole MC.

cheerios

Google and download these programs(good start site skapps.com):
CDGENPS2, ulaunchelf.elf, MCKiller.elf

make urself a ulaunchelf cd
boot ulaunchelf on ur PS2
from ulaunchelf console, copy ur savegames to usb pen drive
from ulaunchelf console, run mckiller to format ur MC clean
from ulaunchelf console, copy back ur savegames to mem card from pendrive
voila problem solved for free or nearly at least

hi follow these steps make iso of the dvd, use usbutil prgram to copy the iso to the flash drive as it is the only way to make it into the ul format as you cannot use the usbextreme supplied program to do so then run the usbextreme and it will recognise the game. mind you usbextreme compatibility is way inferior to hdloader . cheerios
