Как играть с USB на PlayStation2

=======================
INFINITY FIRMWARE V1.3
=======================
What’s new :
————

– ATAD auto patch.
– HDD browser support.
– PS2 color/videomode fix.
– GameAccellerator function for PAL machines (beta).
– Selectable default boot mode.
– Default language selection for FastBoot/MC applications.
– Selectable pad detect time.
– DEV1 compatible mode for MC applications.
– Infinity options configuration screen.

Notes :
——-

– ATAD auto patch will let you use your non-Sony hard disk like an original one
(install HDD enabled games and updated browser software).

– The new HDD browser is now supported by the Infinity (no more need to fastboot
games with the official or non-official HDD).
Owners of USA PS2 will be able to install and use the new official HDD Browser
coming with the HDDTools disk.
All discs will be recognized and autoboot.

– GameAccellerator (PAL60) experimental support. This forces all games to run
on NTSC with color correction applied. Games will run faster (60Hz) but screen
could be not centered (some games support adjusting of screen position if
needed).

– You can now select a default boot mode. If no button is pressed on the pad this
boot mode will be used.

– You can now press R1 during boot to start DEV1 mode. This will launch
applications on your memory card using the standard mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
instead of the Infinity Manager.

– A default language to use for games using FastBoot or memory card applications
can now be selected. Previously all games default to Japanese.

– On some PS2 versions if a pad was not connected on port0 the screen would stay
black waiting for a pad for several seconds. This waiting time can now be
configured (only useful if you usually boot your PS2 without any pad connected).

=======================
INFINITY FIRMWARE V1.75
=======================

What’s new :
————

– VGA support added
– Main language loading fix

Notes :
——-

– VGA suport was added to this firmware relase. You can now use the original blaze
vga adaptor without the boot cd and enjoy the enhanced games compatibility that
this version brings you on your vga screen (with full original ps2 browser and
dvd movies support in vga mode).

VGA mode is set to 640×480 at 60Hz (so the added bonus is that PAL games will
run 20% faster). Games are automatically centered according to the original
resolution without vertical or horizontal side artifacts (a common problem
with the original vga adapter).
PSX games are not supported at the moment but will probably be in a future
release (altough this is probably a low priority fix due to the small
improvement that vga support could bring to psx games).

When VGA mode is enabled you can access the monitor adjust screen in the config
menu by pressing SELECT. You only need to do this the first time to adjust your
monitor settings (a white border is present at the side of the screen, play with
your monitor settings so that the 640×480 screen completely fills your viewing
area).

A schematic of the cable will be soon online on our site for those skilled
in the art of patching things together 😉

– The language selected in the browser was not correctly loaded when BOOT MODE was
set to DEV1. Program automatically loaded on boot from the memory card had the
incorrect default language.

option, feel free to mail your suggestions at: [email protected] and
we will see if it will be possible to add it in the coming releases of the
Infinity Firmware and/or the Infinity Manager.

=======================
INFINITY FIRMWARE V1.36
=======================

NOTE:
—–

This procedure is only needed on old Infinity chips with an old firmware release.
Since the onboard firmware is not compatible with the new PsTwo model, the upgrade
cd can’t be booted normally and a special procedure must be done to upgrade the
chip to the new firmware release.

This upgrade is intended mainly to be used by installers to upgrade their stock of
Infinity to be compatible with the PS2 model.
General users can find the new batch of Infinity already compatible with the V12
PSTWO (and not needing any kind of upgrade) from our resellers starting from the
next week.

The procedure IS NOT raccomended for the inexperienced user, but should be done by
an experienced installer.

WHAT IS NEEDED:
—————

– Infinity manager v1.36 on a CD:
Download from here:
http://www.infinitymod.com/matrix/files/downloads/InfinityManagerV1_36_00.zip

– a PS2 V1-V11 with Infinity inside to prepare the Memory Card Upgrade.

– A formatted PS2 Memory Card.

Preparing the Memory Card:
————————–

1) Burn Infinity Manager V1.36 to CD following the procedure explained inside the .zip file.

2) Make sure the memory card is formatted and inserted in the V1-V11 PS2.

3) Insert the Infinity Manager CD in the V1-V11 PS2, press reset and wait for the
Infinity Manager program to finish loading.

4) Go to “Memory Card Manager” and select “Install Infinity Manager”.
After “Install Succeded” appears on screen, turn off the PS2 and remove the memory card.

The Memory Card is now ready and can be used to upgrade as many PsTwo as you like with the
new V1.36 firmware.

Upgrading the PSTWO:
——————–

1) Install Infinity into the PsTwo following the installation diagrams.

2) Insert the memory card into the PsTwo and turn it on by pressins reset once.

3) Press and keep pressed the “TRIANGLE” button during boot to launch the Infinity
Manager from the memory card.

4) On the main screen, select “Update Firmware” and follow the onscreen instructions
to update the Infinity firmware.

3) When the “Upgrade Succeded” message appears on screen, you can turn OFF the PsTwo and
remove the memory card.

The PsTwo is now ready to be used.

============================
INFINITY DEV2 INSTALLER V1.0
============================

This program enables you to install any PS2 executable on your HDD and
lauch it as the default DEV2 program. This will let you play with DEV2
mode until the new HDD enabled Infinity Manager will be released.

To use it :

– Rename the ELF executable that you want to use as BOOT.ELF
– Burn a PS2 cd with all the files included in this archive and your
selected BOOT.ELF.
– Boot the cd and follow the on-screen instructions.

E.G. to use PS2OS directly from the HDD :

Rename the file PS2OS.ELF as BOOT.ELF and burn a cd with the following
files :

DUMMY.BIN
DUMMY2.BIN
SYSTEM.CNF
DEV2I.ELF
BOOT.ELF

After the installation is complete you can launch PS2OS directly from
your HDD by holding L1 just after reset (or select DEV2 as the default
boot mode in the config screen).

============================
INFINITY DEV2 INSTALLER V1.1
============================

– What’s new :

– Added V12 external hard drive interface compatibility.

– Enabled loading of BOOT.ELF from the boot path of the
DEV2I.ELF executable (e.g. to use it from naplink, just
place DEV2I.ELF and BOOT.ELF in the same directory and
the BOOT.ELF file will be loaded directly from HOST: ).

Should work with any launcher program that supports
correct arguments passing to the launched elf since the
default path is taken from argv[0];

If you don’t understand any of this, just follow the
instructions below to burn the installation cd and
everything will work automatically. 😉

Instructions :
————–

This program enables you to install any PS2 executable on your HDD and
lauch it as the default DEV2 program.

To use it :

– Rename the ELF executable that you want to use as BOOT.ELF
– Burn a PS2 cd with all the files included in this archive and your
selected BOOT.ELF.
– Boot the cd and follow the on-screen instructions.

E.G. to use PS2OS directly from the HDD :

Rename the file PS2OS.ELF as BOOT.ELF and burn a cd with the following
files :

DUMMY.BIN
DUMMY2.BIN
SYSTEM.CNF
DEV2I.ELF
BOOT.ELF

After the installation is complete you can launch PS2OS directly from
your HDD by holding L1 just after reset (or select DEV2 as the default
boot mode in the config screen).

==========================
INFINITY FIRMWARE V1.68+ 

PS2LOGO CUSTOMIZATION
==========================

Starting with FW 1.68 it is possible to add a small custom bitmap to
the logo shown when a ps2 title is normally launched.
Installers or final users can now add a little personal touch to their
machines 😉

To do so, just replace the sample logo provided with this firmware with
a 256 colors, 128×32 bitmap of your choice.
Only pallette supported is a grayscale one starting from (0,0,0) to
(255,255,255) with the first entry in the palette being fully trasparent.
This bitmap will be shown on the bottom left corner of the original ps2
logo

If you are unsure on how to proceed we suggest you start by modifing
the sample logo provided. The purple background indicates the transparent
part of the bitmap.

To install a modified logo just reflash the firmware. The new bitmap will
be automatically read from the path of the Infinity flasher application
(“cdrom0:” when launched from a burned cd or “host:” for naplink users).

If you do not wish to install a custom logo, just delete the ILOGO.BMP
file before flashing the firmware.
