It's still early in terms of support for different versions, check back here later. Hopefully over time other developers from the scene will also contribute support for additional DVD Player versions.
The new exploit for 2. For example, if your DVD Player version is 2. BUP is missing, but just click continue anyway PS2 doesn't require this file. On Linux the easiest way is probably to use genisoimage as it comes pre-installed on many Linux distributions like Ubuntu. Run the following on terminal where exploit. It presents a menu which allows you to select any of the homebrew programs you chose to include on the disc and also allows booting from USB.
For the initial release, I didn't bother to reimplement a couple of functions used by the loader, so it requires that the ELF you load doesn't overwrite those functions I use those are around 0x - 0x85fff and 0x - 0x29ffff. I will probably remove this limitation in the future, but all ELFs I could find were fine with this limitation.
You can run readelf -l to verify your executable satisfies this requirement. For example, this Tetris homebrew just uses 0x - 0xa :. It's possible to patch backup images of commercial games to make them bootable using this exploit.
I didn't want to maintain this tool, so it's not included in this repository, but can be found by searching for something like FreeDVDBoot ESR auto patcher. ELF instead for instance. If you wish to update the loader payload, run build. IFO at the offsets displayed by the output of the command. If you want to test on PCSX2 using KrHacken's repacked DVD players, it loads udfio at a different base address, use the repacked Makefile to build an image for testing on the emulator:.
Please read my technical writeup, to understand how the exploit works. I've also provided some notes about porting in the gh-pages branch. Skip to content. Star 1. Branches Tags.
Could not load branches. These swap techniques use a hardware exploit of the PlayStation 2. They use a tool to open the disc drive tray without the PS2 knowing on "fat" units or using a different tool to push the "flap closed" sensor on slimline units. The latter is also used on swap discs for the original PlayStation. Triggering the exploit requires a way of installing the modified files to the Memory Card, which is not possible by normal means.
With the exploit installed, the user is able to run programs from Memory Cards, optical discs, network or USB flash drives. Programs are found in the ELF executable format. The original Independence Exploit method does not work on newer "slim" PS2 models.
However, there are other ways of installing similar programs to the memory card using Swap Magic discs or commercial cheat discs, such as Action Replay MAX. Just listing what is needed for the "McRanz-Worm": the vulnerability code to copy off the file code to automatically return to the previous menu possibly some extra-code with kernel-patches, to block games from accessing the Saves!
That's quite a perfect case-study! It is: a Console thus is not meant to start any custom code or being vulnerable to such things which has no flashable parts and the most spreaded Hardware on earth etc.
So this would be the "disgusting worm burger"! It is derived from "MemoryCard Ransomware Worm"! The only way to safely remove it without formatting the MC or losing the saves? Getting Homebrew and delete it via wLE etc. Merged into previous posts. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Only that rare model! And with this you no longer need to burn a boot disk? I ask because in my country you get many consoles with the damaged disc reader at very low prices. I have some ps2 games I have made some backup of those disks using my ps3 to emulate them and some games have certain graphic errors and performance problems. It only has to be manually launched and doesn't automatically boot!
Kitsumi , Berion , Algol and 1 other person like this. Well, it is also o. I tried to merge corresponding info per post though! Feel free to correct me if there's something i missed, but by the looks of it, it's not really a discless method. The first thing you need for this method is a way to copy the files onto your Memory Card, and to do that you need uLauncheElf. How do you launch uLaunchElf on a non-modded PS2? The only other method that do not require a disc is using a modded ps2 that already has a way lo launch uLaunchElf on its own aka a FMCB modded one, cause even a chip modded PS2 needs a disc to launch uLaunchElf , but this is valid for installing FMCB as well.
To recap, to use this new method you need either 1. TheSeek , Dec 3, It worked! VTSTech , Dec 3, Louis Garry , jolek and TnA like this. Is FMCB discless? It still needs to be installed to MC somehow, though! TnA : it does matter how it is installed though, cause even if to use it on non-FMCB compatible PS2 you don't need a disc to launch the exploit each time, you do need a disc to install it.
A "method" doesn't only applies to how the exploit itself works and is executed, but also to how it is installed.
The title is misleading as it makes it appear like this new method doesn't require disc at all. Proof of this mislead is what neo88 said, asking about requiring or not a Boot Disc cause most PS2 where he lives have faulty disc readers. Does the exploit works discless? Can it be installed on a PS2 that does not read discs?
