Codebreaker Cobra Iso?

[CyKoDeLiC]

Hi there. On your board, you made it possible to create an iso, which loads up the OPL. I've managed to start Codebreaker 9.2 via a created iso, with the Agend under Fire trick. It worked fine, but nonetheless it gave me a black screen, when I put another PS2 game disc in the drive.

So is anybody willing to create a cobra iso, with the CB.elf in it? That would be awesome!

I am pretty sure it won't work, no matter how you load Codebreaker.

But here is an ISO I have had for long time with Codebreaker elf on it.

Code: Select all

I've created a method for modifying most games so that PS2rd loads and then loads the game. PS2rd is compatible with most cheats in RAW format. The modified image can be loaded from optical disc or HDD.

Edit:
Another option would be to use the HDL modified codebreaker and then play your games through OPL just like you would on an actual PS2. However this is not something I am interested in since games play slow/choppy compared to just loading them directly from optical disk or HDD with Cobra.

So, if anyone needs help setting up a modified game image with PS2rd just let me know

Ok I have created a CB9.3 iso, patched to load whatever elf file you want. You just need to rename it too CB_launch.elf
I have lots actually, but wasn't sure what each was patched for as I usually only play on my PS2, and use the CB_launch.elf jimmikaelkael made.

Code: Select all

Then the CB_launch.elf must be placed on memory card or Mass:/

mass:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf

mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf

I don't know if the hdd0 would work on PS3 or not.

hdd0:/__boot/CB_launch.elf

I only have a B/C PS3, but its on 4.11 firmware and I haven't even tested OPL on it yet.

You can test it if you want or take up jmjohnson85 to help you with PS2rd.. It is a good program to use. + rep to you jmjohnson85

Okay I've spent some time on this and have found that PS2rd has compatibility issues with PS3 (I'm using CECHA01). So far I have gotten only 2 games to work - Kingdom Hearts II and Ys Napishtim. I have verified that the codes I am using are working by testing on my V12 PStwo using PS2rd and OPL.

I suspect that the issue might have something to do with the reset IOP command being issued by PS2rd as when it is turned on PS2rd just hangs while initializing (could be conflicting with some proprietary Cobra code? No way for me to know since Cobra is the only way I have to run unsigned code). This is only an issue with PS2rd on PS3 and does not happen on PS2.

In my previous post I stated that this PS2rd method works with most games which is both correct and incorrect because yes PS2rd will successfully launch said games but no the cheats will not work with many of them.

With this being the case I decided to play around with ffgriever's HDL modded CodeBreaker 9.2. I quickly realized that it was possible to a have the modded CB.ELF load uLE from mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF and then have uLE load the game from cdfs:/. It works well and does not have any of the issues that PS2rd has (which makes me happy but also sad because PS2rd would have been a better solution being open source and much faster at loading).

Therefore I have decided to put together a tutorial on modifying games to load CodeBreaker this way.

I would love to have a patched CB.ELF that would load an ELF from cdfs:/ or one that would look for cdfs:/SYSTEM.CNF (but renamed to something like SYSTE1.CNF). This would simplify the whole process

That could only be done by someone creating a new patch for codebreaker.
I could ask the guys that created patches for CB, later when I get home

That would be pretty sweet if we had that but if not it's no big deal. I've got it working "seamlessly" already anyways. Tutorial still in progress.

I have asked the question to the guys who write the patches, and sent them pm's.

Just waiting on an answer.

ok bfoos from CMP and psx-scene is going to patch an elf to test. As soon as he has it ready I will post it up.

He will do two of them. cdrom0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF and cdrom0:\SYSTE1.CNF;1

[jmjohnson85]

Just like that huh?
