Weird behavior of MISC:/POWEROFF when Internal HDD isn't active

israpps commented 3 years ago

if i shut down my console from uLaunchELF while the HDD isnt active (tested on 4.43a 41e4ebe and 4.43a_KHN) the HDD is turned on less than one seccond before shuting down the console.

Are you certain your HDD was activated, rather than just the network adaptor? If HDD, are you using a compatible network adaptor?

To shut down an expansion-bay PS2, the network adaptor must be shut down first. This is done with dev9.irx, which has the consequence of powering up the network adaptor if it was not on. Itherwise, there is no proper way to get access to the network adaptor and tell whether it was left on.

Hi! It's good to see you around here!

I'm using an oficial NA (SCPH-10281 I think) with a bitfunx SATA board. I'm completely sure that this happens with the HDD powered off. I tested it doing this:

Turn on the console with a FMCB memory card (skip hdd update enabled of course)
Launch uLaunchELF from mass
Go to Misc:/poweroff The HDD is powered on, and less than one second after that, the console is powered off (I can hear the HDD shutting down abruptly.

It corrupts the HDD.........

Maybe adding a delay after of before the HDD Parking?
