KELFBinder 2 not loading on PS2 Slim

[lokustus]

Hi there! 1st of all thx for your effort making this app, it looks really cool and seems a lot helpful! Really appreciate it :)

Okay, now, the thing is that I'm facing the problem that I can't make the program work (stucks on a black screen with a red line in the center [and the troubleshooting on the website suggests to report it here ;) ])

Imma attach a video here with all the information and the behaviour of the program. Anyway, if you want the information in text, here u got:

•PS2 Slim v18 (SCPH-90001) •Matrix v1.99 Chip •uLauncher via CD (LaunchELF v4.38) •One 8MB Memory Card •USB in Fat32 format •PlayStation Driver 2.00 •Completely new and calibrated optical drive (with its corresponding EEPROM [PVR-802W/KHS-430])

And if u r wondering, yes, I can run anything via DVD or USB but KELFBinder :(

Hope we can solve this and greetings! Thanx in advance

The ELF loader you used to launch KELFBinder is breaking something.

Launch KELFBinder from wLaunchELF isr and it should work

@rona-lang and @israpps Hi there!

Thanx for answering, alright! Imma try it out, I'll keep u both updated :)

@rona-lang and @israpps

I'm back here, alright! Now the program opens up correctly with the wLaunchELF ISR :) I trully appreciate it, thank u!

Now, unfortunately my system doesn't support updates directly but "I" managed to install the update on the Memory Card successfully.

Anyway, when trying to update the DVDPlayer I receive an error message stating "Installation failed! (-201) input KELF can't be opened" [I've attached the image below]

Is there something that could be done with it?

p.s. I actually have a DVDPlayer BIOS downloaded but it's in .bin format, IDK if we can work with it as well.

Greetings! And once again, thanx a lot @israpps for this.

You seem to be using an older version

If you had latest installer tells you the reason

DVD player updates are not bundled because you only ones we have available are Sony property

Hi there! 🤗 Oh! Amm... Well, I've downloaded the version from here in Github, I clicked on the 1.1.1 release that appears as the latest here so I'm not sure if I did it wrong 👀

About the DVDPlayer BIOS, alright! I've listened to something about it related to what u commented. So I guess that I need to make it a KELF file and sign it but where should I put it to make the program to install it? 👀

Once again, I trully appreciate your support and sorry if it seems I'm getting annoying, not my intention.

That's latest Release, not latest build, check the "latest" tag release

INSTALL/KELF/DVDPLAYER.XLF

You should use a DVD player update KELF, I'm not sure if ROM DVD player can be used as update.

Once again, thank u for all the support brow :) Since my PS2 doesn't support direct install of updates, I could install the system update successfully on the Memory Card [ur program is awesome, great job, fo' real], AND about the DVD thing, I managed to run the PS2 DVD Player Modification by krHACKen via USB so didn't mess with the Memory Card Installer [ anyway, thanx for the info. Now I know how to do it later ;) ].

With that said... Thanks a lot! Issue solved :D Now, after many things done, My last problem is that I can't run PS1 games but after all, I think it has to do something with my chip version, anyway, that is another topic.

Thank u!

UPDATE!: I've just noticed that my PS2 reads the PS1 Demo CDs perfectly (yes, the ones with a black side), so I just did the Disc Swap trick (the physical one with the lid opened) and now I can play PS1 games as well, greetings! 🙌🏻.
