Tutorial Emulator


Emulator Tutorial
Tutorials:
InfoNES (rev 3)
PGEN
SNES
InfoGB (rev 2)
This is a basic tutorial on how to run emulators from different devices. I chose 1
emu for each device, but others may work using the same methods. There are too many emus to have a tutorial on each.


Play from HDLoader:


InfoNES (rev3)
This version allows you to re-boot the boot.elf without needing to restart the PS2
You need to create a INFONES.CNF (this must be placed in the mc0:/PS2NES/ )

InfoNES will create the PS2NES folder on the MC after the first time its launched.
After its created you can add the INFONES.CNF to this folder.
You will also want to add the nes.icn & the icon.sys so the sony browser will see it as a valid save.
Make a folder (i used  ROMS_PD from  rev1) & put your roms in it
Create an ISO:
Open UltraISO & select "new", right-click the disc & rename it to INFONES (or whatever you want)

In the bottom left window, navigate to where your files located.
Then in the bottom right, Add system.cnf, InfoNES.elf & the roms folder

Click the 'Save' button in top menu

You will be prompted on where to save, the ISO format is already selected by default, so just name it & save.
Install to HDD:
FapLink is used for this tutorial, but you can use any method you know, to install an ISO to your ps2's HDD.
I used faplink since its a small file transfer & installed really quick (15 sec).I didnt feel like taking out my HDD for this.
If you need  help using it, heres a tutorial.
Open Faplink & select the ISO file you created above.
Click 'Install' . Not much more to tell.

Now you can select it from HDLoader's Game list.
To play from hdloader:
select InfoNES( whatever you named it)
press 'start button'
press 'X' on Browse CD
press 'start button" on Browse CDROM
Select the folder you made with your roms.
Other emu's :
InfoGB dlanor rev.2


Play from HDD



PGEN
Put the Pgen.elf & all your roms in a folder (i named mine SEGA), then copy that folder  to a pen drive. Then put the pendrive into the PS2 usb slot & start ps2.
Install:
You must have a partition available, if you dont, then create one with DMS HDD Tools  Ulaunchelf & myPS2 can create them as well.

Other Emu's:
InfoNES
InfoGB


Launch from CD



SNES Station
Method 1 (Easy)
KnifeSwap
Burn a DATA CD with the snes.elf & the folder with the roms.
Get myPS2 version .02 (not as complicated as the later versions)
Launch myPS2 v.02 with your exploit
At the main screen, swap the disc without using eject (knife trick)
After the swap, select " My programs", then "Select ELFs", then "cdfs:" then  SNES_EMU.ELF(or whatever yours is), hit the "X " button.
Method 2 (Hard)
No KnifeSwap
This is an adaptation of BIRDWIG's tutorial for swapping without a Modchip or the knife trick. Credit goes to him for it.
First lets make sure you can use this method. Get the Nero Info Tool.
Open it dummy!

It must read Raw Dao 16. If yours has it, then continue, if not you will only waste your time & a CD if you continue.

Create files:
Open NotePad  & put the following . Be sure that you hit the enter key after the entry, so the cursor is blinking at the third row (important)
The elf name must match your elf file's name. Now save it as copy.cnf
Open notepad again, select new, now hold the X button down until the page is full,
right-click in the page & 'select all',
press Ctrl + C to copy,
press Ctrl + V to paste.
Keep pasting untill you have about 20 MBs of data.
Now save it as DUMMY.DAT.
You should now have these 2 files:
The following requires a pendrive, if you dont have one, you can use birdwig's original tutorial with the FTP method.
Prepare the ps2:
We need to make 2 folders
Load UlaunchELF
press start for the file browser
select the mc0:
press R1 for Menu
select New Dir
type PS2REALITY > press OK
you should now be in the new directory you just made
press R1 again
select New Dir again
type SNES > press OK
Above the screen should say Path: mc0:/PS2REALITY/SNES if done correctly
Copy these files to your pendrive:
  • SNES_EMU.ELF
  • copy.cnf
  • mcloader.elf
Put the pendrive in the PS2, & load UlaunchELF.
press start for file browser
select mass:/
MARK the *mcloader.elf
press R1 for menu
select copy
press triangle till you are back at the  file browser's main screen
select mc0:/
select BADATA-SYSTEM/
press R1
select paste
mcloader.elf should now be in that folder
press triangle & go back
select mass:/
MARK *copy.cnf  & *SNES_EMU.ELF
press R1
select copy
press triangle & go back
select mc0:/
select PS2REALITY/
select SNES/
press R1
select paste
You should now have both files in the SNES folder
Your PS2 is now ready for the CD. Lets test it.
press SELECT button to return to main screen
press SELECT again to enter the config screen
select any empty button to assign the mcloader.elf
press O to edit
select mc0:/
select BADATA-SYSTEM/
select mcloader.elf
you should now be returned to the Main screen
Press the button you assigned to mcloader to launch it now
PS2REALITY's mcloader will display a few screens
When you see Applications In The MC you want to select it by pressing X
You should now see SNES Station, select it & press X
SNES Station should now load up.
Press SELECT  & it will say [Please change CD, Then Press X]
Hit eject button so the tray opens, then hit it again to close.
press X & you should see whatever is on your ps1 trigger disc.
 Preparing the CD
Open CDGEN3.0
Drag the DUMMY.DAT you made into it first
now drag all your roms next ( click 'edit' then 'select all' to drag all at once)

Goto File > Save Image
Save as type choose CDX CDR (*.cdx)
Burning the CD
Open Nero by double clicking the *cue fileyou just made.

Check the settings, then click burn.
Testing the disc
Start UlaunchELF & press the button for mcloader.
press X on applications in the MC
press X on SNES Station
press SELECT ( Please change CD, Then Press X appears) dont press X yet !!
hit EJECT to open the tray
swap discs
close the tray

after a min or so, your roms should display.
If you get a message saying  no Roms or Directories on the CD,  then you either didnt burn the disc right, or your burner doesnt support RAW DAO 16


Play by MC



InfoGB (rev 2)
Make a folder called PS2GB (required by infoGB) on the MC. If you cant make one, just launch the infoGB elf & it will make one.
This version allows you to re-boot the boot.elf without needing to restart the PS2
You need to create a INFOGB.CNF
