About Identify your DVD Player Version Copy your homebrew Make an image
  • PlayStation 2 DVD Player Exploit. This allows you to burn your own PlayStation 2 homebrew discs and play them on an unmodified console. With uLaunchELF as the initial program, users can include multiple homebrew programs on the same disc.

    For technical details please refer to this blog post.
  • Boot your PlayStation 2 without any disc inserted, and press Triangle to identify which DVD Player version your console has.

    Pre-built ISO files for supported DVD Players containing just uLaunchELF are provided in this repository for ease of use (which can be used to boot homebrew over USB storage), such as 3.10EU.iso. If you intend to make your own image containing additional homebrew / modified initial loader, please read on.
  • Once you've identified your console's DVD Player version, copy all of the homebrew you would like to include on the disc into that directory (EG: 3.10EU/).
  • Once you've placed all the homebrew files you'd like into the directory, generate a UDF image of the directory. The easiest way is probably to install genisoimage and run the following (where exploit.iso is the output and 3.10EU is the directory containing VIDEO_TS and any homebrew):
    genisoimage -udf -o exploit.iso 3.10EU

How to:
  1. Download archive from attachment

  2. Check what DVD Player version you have (look for "Identify your DVD Player Version" tab)

  3. Write in on DVD-R disc (e.g. with ImgBurn)

  4. Place the disc into PS2
Currently only these DVD Player versions are supported:
  • 2.10 (Certain models only)
  • 2.12 (Regions U, J, and G)
  • 3.04 (Tested only region M with English language set in settings)
  • 3.10\3.11 (Your console must be set to English language for the exploit to work)

Drag and drop you ISO onto the bat and it gets FDVDB+ESR-Patched (3.10/3.11-compatible)!

It's only a test and is not yet the final design of the standard and the tool(s)!

It can possibly not be unpatched (currently).
It lacks compatibility, due to being limited to 3.10/3.11 as of right now!


I only share it here, to prevent this "Homebrew-Disc-Method" which some people use for games, which messes up the LBA, renders many games incompatible, puts more strain on the laser and so on!

THIS IS FOR TESTING ONLY AND NOT YET FINAL!


Edit: These discs work on FMCB/FHDB, once it is installed and regardless of the DVD-Player-Version!!!
