HDLPatch 0.8c Released!

[brakken]

UPDATE: It seems this "patch" is over a year old, however I didn't know about it so I'm leaving the post. intact.

Zer0-X has released a new version of HDLoader (in a patch format) which adds some great additions to the dump of HDLoader. Note that you can use this with your Memor32 and Memento Firmware to boot legal backups via an IDE Hard Drive while you wait for their v1.3 firmware to be released.

What's New?

"A win32 command line patcher for the ps2 HDLoader unpacked .elf that allow for larger hard drives to be used. This has proven to be working!. It handles the following operations:"

* God of War 2 patch from crazyc.
* No disc seek while loading (stops freezing at splash screen on V9 and later models).
* Compatibility menu facelift with new built-in modes (with some improvements). Includes a new installer module that can handle DVD9. * V12/13 PSTwo support (for Automan's interface). These models aren't too reliable when installing games. Better use WinHIIP.
* Stop CDVD-drive motor after loading (use ONLY when booting from a disc on V9 and later models).
* Bigger game list (fit more titles on screen).
* Force HDLoader's UI into NTSC-mode on PAL machines (fullscreen image).
* LBA 48bit patch (allows full use of HDDs up to 2 terabytes).
* Auto idle off fix to stop HDD from shutting down if left idling.
* MDMA/UDMA-mode selector through user configurable button layout while HDLoader starts.
* Swap X/O buttons for japanese style controls.
* Disable all features from the UI except playing games.
* Position HDLoader's screen.
* Force default language.
* Change graphics (splash, main & the button image).
* Change font.
* Change colors and texts from a separate textfiles.
* Extract images, font data, colors & texts from HDLoader.

peppers,

Thanks for the info.


brakken,

The hdlpatch 0.8c files aren't new, I just missed them when released back in April 2007.

@modrobert - they are new to me. I've been using "b" forever. I'll update the main thread, but thanks for getting them online!

ah, thanks to crazyc and zero-x had a lot of fun with my ps2 back then. Is it the same CrazyC now working on psp dosbox?

[peppers]

There are at least two different versions out there now with the same version number, and to add to the confusion, old forum posts appear in the middle of this thread.

Yeh that’s my fault I will remove those allow me to clarify

First
thereal_zap edited HDL patch to add crazyc's fileops2 (for god of war 2 compatibility) patch to hld patch. By request zer0-x placed this version on the first post in the psx-scene release thread

Second
forum members had trouble with it because a mistake wile compiling the program caused it to require an unnecessary DLL witch many people including me do not have installed

Third
thereal_zap Recompiled the program to correct this error this is the best version although it never got copied to the first post
witch is this one
