Hmm ESR doesnt seem to work for me. It just shows a black screen after the title screen.

Well, like I said. I have no problem helping you lot test some things to get usb working and other drivers to be more compatible with this system.

OH! I sort of figured it was a version16. That link that was given me, those 6s sure look like 8s.

I forget, why is it again that you are unable to use the normal interrupts? Does the PS2 Slim do something different with them to make them incompatible? Do you have any idea why the USB bottlenecks?

Many thanks for that

@peterdcrees

That is fantastic news! The less I use of that SwapMagic DVD, the better I would feel.

What sort of patching would be needed?

@MegaMan

Do you mean once the live CD is created? You said none exists just yet.

@whig

Hmm It seems I have accidently overlooked your post. Yeah, I use free mcboot for stuff, but I still use SwapMagic to boot my backed up games. I have yet to have found a way to run my backed up games without it.

SwapMagic is what I used to install freemcboot intially.

Well then, it appears I have a v18 PS2. I am not sure if this is good or not.

@deba5er

I keep reading about all these different versions, where do you find this version number? I mean, what version is mine?

@MegaMan That is quite interesting. My slim silver ps2 is not modded, it uses that swap magic software to run copied ps2 games and homebrew software. It works quite well, actually. The only thing that worries me is if I do not take care of the swap magic disc itself, then I would have to purchase an...

Is it possible to load linux from a cd on the ps2...sort of like a livecd?

Well, I have good news and bad news... The good news is this: http://i35.tinypic.com/35aqg5y.jpg I finally managed to get it to work! I sort of figured out what the hell was causing me such pain with installing properly, and no, it wasn't the graphics issue. There is something amuck with the USB dri...

Ok, I see what I did. I imaged the files to the drive, but then I copied the old ps2linux directory over the one that was from the image you gave me. I started over to use the pslinux directory from the image, but that one won't even boot from kernel loader. First, it wanted to load all the files fr...

i see nothing that begins with 'startjs'

ok, im on it

Oh, by all means, take your time. I will be at my PC for a few more hours yet. Well, good news about the funky video settings at least. The picture now appears proper, but the GUI still does not load! Instead, I receive this message: http://i38.tinypic.com/dw4avm.jpg Maybe you can decypher this mean...

Ok, I'm on it.

BTW, are you like serious that you dont have a messenger type something? communicating like this is something of like email.

Painfully Slow.

i must be doing something wrong...i still get a black screen

and TV margins should be?

My PS2 is connected to a Sony 60in HDTV 1080

The PS2 connecor is one of those Composite Cables

I do not know what proper settings to use.

Yet another lovely update; it appears the install was complete...i switched the config files, things are loading and looking good, but X-Windows never starts!

Just a black screen.

:-(

just to give you an update, I may not have waited long enough, but nothing seems to be happening. The keyboard froze again, which imo is not a good sign, though the thumb drive light is still blinking. edit: upon inspection, it appears the other usb slot becomes inactive and no longer provides power...

Woot! Cheers!

I am on it and will give you an update

I know this, I am a patient person. I am just happy that I got as far as I did. I am sure it will work though. I mean the only immediate issue right now is the partitioning and installing. I am unsure which version I have (v12 or whatever you were mentioning) but w\I would be more than happy to help...

Briliant! I await your post with this image!

I will be more than happy to wait for this, so long as you tell me how I am supposed to put that image on the thumb drive. My ultimate goal is to turn this ps2 into a VERY simple webserver. I am quite sure it is possible, since the network is working. I assume there are other things that are needed,...

Oh dear. I have been working on this for HOURS! I cannot seem to input the proper numbers to partition this thumb drive properly. I keep changing the values, but I always receive this: http://i27.tinypic.com/rusiew.jpg Note: Ignore the device removal message on the last line. I had to unplug the USB...

Well, I tried this other keyboard, and it works in the Linux shell, but not the kernel loader. So i have two keyboards plugged in. I wish it were possible to provide a much wider range of keyboard support... I am in the process of resizing this 2GB thumb drive...I tried to press the crtl button on t...

Hmm...I wonder what sort of keyboard would work? Brand wise. This thing i have here is...um..a 'Microinv' keyboard.

Thanks, I will try that. You may send me a message on aim/yahoo btw.
