Free MC Boot v1.8b |
posted by brakken
08-27-2009 |
 |
jimmikaelkael and his team of coders and testers Neme, suloku, JNABK, TnA, g.t.o and psychomantis have released a new version of their "softmod" exploit for the Sony Playstation 2. Using Free OsDatel Boot MC and a way to run homebrew you can turn a normal memory card into a homebrew booting device.
Once you've turned it into one you can simply plug it into your PS2, turn it on and run homebrew. No modchip is required at all. This hack is very useful for Sony Playstation 2's that have dead lasers as your can boot HD Loader/Advance or USB Advance and play your legal backups from a hard drive.

__________________________________________________

main menu screen.

on some ps2 models (due to new elf-loader mentionned above).
- Fixed problem with chinese clone card not booting due to bug fixed in
mcid generation above.
- Fixed freezing bug while loading COGSWAP.
- Fixed bug about loading osd settings correctly.

PS2Doom v1.0.4.1 Released |
posted by brakken
06-12-2009 |
|
pedroduarte0 has released a new version of his port of the Doom 1 and Doom 2 engines to the Sony Playstation 2. Using his engine along with the data files from the game(s) you personally own you can enjoy these classic FPS on your PS2.
What's New?
Quote:
New features: - Savegame handling for different WAD : Now savegames from doom1 and doom2 and other WADs can happy cohexist at the same memory card.
Important: This means that your previous saves needs to be renamed at the PS2DOOM memory card folder. Use uLaunchELF for that (copy the save files to a USB storage device for example, rename those at your computer – see below, delete those same files at the memory card and copy the renamed saves from the USB device back to the PS2DOOM memory card folder). Refer to uLaunchELF documentation for this operations (I won’t offer help at this subject).
Until now, the saves follows the scheme for all the WADs : doomsav0.dsg, doomsav1.dsg, and so on. For now on, the saves reflect the WAD name:
For doom2.wad savegames, you should use the the naming scheme : doom2sav0.dsg, doom2sav1.dsg, etc. Similarly for doom1.wad saves, this will be doom1sav0.dsg, doom1sav1.dsg.
For doom.wad, the filenames should be doomsav0.dsg, etc. You get the picture (sorry to explain this to detail, but I wanted to keep this clear).
Bug fixes:
- Should work with the doom2f.wad (I don’t own it). It should run with previous versions (memory requirements issue since sounds weren’t being downsampled)
- Previous/next weapon selection was buggy (some weapons weren’t selectable) – fixed
- Fixed a crash when a lump is not found (doom.wad at “menu slideshow”) – original sources bug?
- Save/load file handle fixed (no more trying to load/save from empty slots)
I also realised the the source files cosmitoFileIO.c and cosmitoFileIO.h weren’t being included at the distribution archives… Going to fix that.

Well, almost a entire month has passed since the last update and I can assure you it was been a hell of a 4 weeks at the job. No spare time to do anything than work. No cinema, no walkings, no friends, no life. And yes, no ps2doom.
It took me only about 2-3 hours of quality free time on this week end to understand how strafe was implemented at lsdldoom and how key/button events are handled in Doom. So, implementing strafe for the right analog stick was almost a linear task and for better, it wasn’t necessary to change the code dramatically.
Now ps2doom plays beautifully with strafing If you never tried this feature on ps2 lsdldoom port, you don’t know what you’re missing now on ps2doom! It tooks the gameplay to another dimension completely. Actually, I feel the gameplay with a Dualshock PS2 controller surpasses by large keyboard gameplay at action time, not accounting for the extra functions you can quickly access though keyboard.
Have a try and lots of fun! Doom is incredibly addicting, even after you finished it over and over.
As usual, source is included with the pack:

ScummVM v0.13.1 PS2 Released |
posted by brakken
04-28-2009 |
|
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

JammerPS2 - Cannon Fodder Edition v0.1b Released |
posted by brakken
04-14-2009 |
|
The developer behind PS2Doom has released an unique PS2 "sound application" where you can mix up your own sounds using your own samples via pressing button combinations on the PS2's controller.
Quote:
For the many of you who have an Amiga gaming past, you may remember a classic named Cannon Fodder and, of course, its intro tune.
JammerPS2 is an example for the cosMix sound engine I cooked, and it works like a sound sample trigger, using the Dualshock controller buttons to fire up sounds.
I decided to pack it with samples from the Cannon Fodder intro song for you to have something ready to play with, but you can supply your own samples, as long they are mono or stereo WAV files rated at 48000Hz (you may use any other sample rate, like the more usual 44100Hz but the sounds pitch will be higher than normal).
Keep in mind the PS2 is not a computer with virtual memory (only if running linux), so the total space taken by the samples must be at most 32MB (a little less than this actually).
As feedback, I really would like to know from your creations. If you made any sound packs for JammerPS2, let me know and drop some links for downloading your packs.
