ok, im working on version 1.1 of PS2 BootAdvance, so if anyone have any ideas the would like to see in it just post to this msg.


to do:

fix it to show up propper on PAL.
boot more programs.


new features:
able to boot a HDD Partition (not a HDLoader Partition).
add a ftp server in background.
add a better screen saver.
and more.

How about telling us what's in version 1.0, for those of us that have no idea what you're talking about ;-)

this:

I'd like to have in no particular order :D
- default selection [0] with timeout (run auto after X sec)
- particles :D (I like particules as useless they are)
- manual reset handler (like pushing all pad buttons eset the current app if possible and go back to the bootadvance)

all for now...

USB Pen dirve support (if it doesn't allready have it)

Great new :)

- default selection [0] with timeout (run auto after X sec) <- absolutely
- A way to change the wallpaper because I haven't been able to make a file of the actual format, jpg please :p
- No screen saver by default or at least let it be configurable with a config file.
- In this same config file : theme support : police, size, color...
- Set screen position like in many games today
- Use the full screen (maybe a problem with PAL/NTSC)
- Display time and date (prety useless)

And keep this very light and clean interface, it is good to have a very light manager to boot the PS2 :)

PS2 BootAdvance use a GSI file as background. you can use this to create a GSI file:

Thank you :p
I had lost hope to make a GSI image ;)

No Problem

Hi Lionx .

I’m happy that’s you take again your project boot advance.
I think about boot advance can evolution very well.
I have more ideas for this projet this is :
- a navigator for the hdd, mass, mc, cdrom with the possibility of copying the files of perefirique towards other like ps2os
- I don’t know if it‘s possible but I saw they are one programs which emulated the CD-Rom with an Elf file, an option in boot advances would be very practical.
- add a ftp server in background.
- the hour and the date with a change of color has each month at the graphic level as on psp
It is already god job for you and if your need for assistance so that I test the software or another lets me know it.
I have other ideas but i say you later when the project is more advanced

Thank you

Kazuya

hi
rom0 this cd-rom?

thanks

no. rom0: is a area inside the ps2bios where files are stored.

to access a file from cdrom the string would be:
"cdrom:\FILES\RUN.ELF;1"

Any news ?
