I've done everything you did in this video, and it all works perfectly up until I put the copied game in and press X, the screen doesn't change from the purple cogswap screen, I dont have any idea what to do now :L
@oOSKiLLeDxMoFoO Hardmodding means breaking open your PS2 and physically installing a mod chip. Softmodding is using programs and software to exploit PS2.
Is it possible to use just a USB stick? Or do we absolutely have to buy ARMAX, Codebreaker etc etc? I can't seem to find any of them and when I do they are 60+ dollars...
next time when you do a vid, download a program called snagit. its a good recording program that records your desktop and you can have a commentary in the background as you do it. it would make this easier for ppl to see what you are doing.
help! whenever I try to run the ps1 game, it says "Error: No se ha podido leer el fichero de configuracion" I'm not sure why it's in Spanish but it means "Failed to read the configuration file"
I did everything exactly as you did and everything was going smoothly until I opened the contents of the flash drive in AR MAX and it said there were no files. I checked back on my computer and the IsCentral.max file is on the flash drive, but its just not being picked up on AR MAX. What could be the issue?
when I try to run the independence compiler, it says "run-time error '339' Component 'Tabctl32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" What do I do?
@littenburg Thing is though there's one's where you can use games off a flash drive or burned on DVD-Rs. Way easier (that's after getting it to work though... I think it's just my [cruzer] flash drive, but it was so difficult to find one that works).
@littenburg Yeah I understand this, but I was referring to the CogSwap (cuz don't u have to use the swap tool every time you wanna play a burnt game)... Oh and also pointing out that you can use flash drive pretty cool, but mine is only 4GB :(
Sorry for being incoherent; I usually make posts between 12 and 4 AM so yeah >_>
is there any way of playing burned ps2 games WITHOUT buying something like ActionReplay or Swap Magic etc? I tried swapping ps2 games in the tray for the burned dvds using a swap key i made but it doesn't seem to work for ps2 games (the screen just stays black).
Honestly I'd rather just go and buy the actual game since it's a lot easier and costs about the same as the hacking software, but they don't sell them in most electronic stores anymore so it looks like i'm never going to play it :\
I fill out all the info needed add files and whatnot but when I get to the last page and hit create exploit it just says file not found. What the hell does this mean happens everytime I try to exploit it. Help please
Please repost the links , Forum is down or dead . I may find a way to make a copy of swapmagic boot on a none moded ps2 but for this i need the software you are showing in this video ( All if possible) .
@Spigs0964 Not True, I soft modded my Wii, and I made backups of my games because they would always get scratched and shit. (I also torrent games though :P)
@hotdawgcj the files were lost, i am having trouble finding them....soooo asap is like, hopefully soon....sorry. I am working on a new website for these things right now as well. So hopefully it will all be there.
the independance compiler 4.1 in your description does not extract properly and i searched on the web and downloaded one that works and i run the program and it sais "component 'MSWINSCK.OCX' or one of it's dependancies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" help anyone?
keeps telling me that the TABCTL32.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or corrupt.. i googled it and the guy who made it no longer does it for ps2 so any help fixing the prob would be awsome.. :)
He used the Datel. I don't think you can get the version he used unless you can find it second-hand somewhere. eBay might have some of those. The newer one works just fine, it just doesn't have the Media Player anymore.
alright im getting an error "TABCTL32.OCX or one of its dependencies is not found. It comes up while attempting to run independence compiler. I need some help.
the video is of me doing it in real time. so should be proof enough of it working. I have had alot of people saying some ps2s dont work, this i am assuming is because of their model number.
I will post them directly on my site, for more reliability. stay tuned for an update....same bat time, same bat channel....actually different bat time, give me a bit to work this out.
@littenburg the Savebuilder is working. The Rapidshare is not broken it just said i needed to wait kuz theres no more download slots. its mainly just the cogswap.elf thats messed up.
Note: if you're in Canada (and some various countries) it is legal to burn, copy and share copyrighted material..but it is illegal to sell it.
