Booting into COGSWAP
Requirements
- An original PS2 DVD game (any should do but YMMV)
- a blank DVD
- GNU ddrescue -- to make ISO copy from original PS2 DVD game (unlike cat or dd, ddrescue will retry in case of read errors)
- COGSWAP -- an ELF binary that permits the arbitrary boot of any CDR/DVDR
- Apache 1.1 -- to modify the original ISO copy
Instructions
- make a copy of an original DVD PS2 game
- Figure out which file is booted by the PS2 on this ISO (it's not always the same file):
- Rename the cogswap.elf file to the filename you found
- Note the size of the file (important in case you use a different version of COGSWAP)
- Start Apache
- In 'File', open donor.iso
- click and select the relevant SLES file
- In 'ISO Tools' go to 'Change TOC for selected file, then in 'Size (dec)', put 58160 (adjust if needed), press 'Update'
- click and select the relevant SLES file
- In 'ISO Tools' go to 'Update Selected File' and choose the prepared COGSWAP version of the SLES file, update.
- Burn the modified donor.iso to a blank DVDR
Done you now have a PS2 DVD that contains COGSWAP.
- Burn Ulaunch
- Copy newbie package to USB key
Downloading the games
This part is actually the easiest. Go to google, and find yourself a copy of utorrent. Once you have downloaded and installed, open it up. A speed guide will appear. Make sure the port is forwarded, and if it is, choose your connection speed, and press OK. Click file, and then exit. Now you will go to google and find the game you want. If you purchased your console in the USA, look for a game that says NTSC on it. Live anywhere else, and pick up a copy of your game in PAL. This is VERY important, as switching the modes will make the screen colorless, or sometimes blank. After your game has downloaded (2 hours – 2-3 days) go to the next step.
Extracting the game
If you find your game is in RAR, ZIP, or a series of numbers, then you need this next stop. If your game is in ISO, BIN, or MDF/MDS, skip to burning. To extract your game, get the program WinRAR. The program says it’s a trial, but nothing happens when your trial runs out. Move the ISO, BIN, or MDF/MDS file to the desktop, and close WinRAR. Go on to the next step.
Burning your game
We are going to use Alcohol 120%, a burning application. I would suggest getting a torrent of this application. Once you have installed the application, I suggest restarting your computer. Click on Image Burning Wizard, which is located on the left side of Alcohol. Choose your ISO, and press next. At the bottom of the next window is a dropdown menu. Choose Playstation 2, and then change the Disc speed to lowest. If you forgot to put your burnable DVD in the tray before this, please do so, and restart Alcohol. Choose the slowest burn speed possible. Leave the rest settings alone, and then press next. The disc is now being burned. I HIGHLY suggest that you don’t do anything during the burning process, as you may lose buffer, which is critical for DVD’s. Once its done, go to the next step.
