ESR no longer works on the PS3 (Sony is not that stupid this time around), but it still work on every PS2 model, with the difference that SCPH-9000X models have patched FMCB, so Swap Magic or a modchip are better options there, and if you have any of those then there’s no real need for ESR.īy Acid_Snake | wololo. PS1/2 Anyway to patch games for ESR that are already in DVD Thread starter Jakob95 Start date Views 1,187 Replies 1 Jakob95 I am the Avatar. With the CDVD drive fooled it is now time to mount the DVD using the second session, which contains the game itself, since we have already fooled the system into booting ESR and we have already fooled it into recognizing our disc, we can now freely load ELF files from there, so all ESR has to do now is read the SYSTEM.CNF file to obtain the path of the game’s main ELF and load it, effectively running our game.ĭownload bosch pst 54 pe manual software download. Since playing recorded Video DVDs is allowed on the PS2 as the machine does no other check on the media, the CDVD drive gives green light to the disc as a supported disc. What ESR does is patch the ISO image of the game to include two different data sessions or tracks, the first one, and the one that is immediately accessible to the CDVD drive is a dummy track that resembles that of a Video DVD, fooling the CDVD drive into thinking that a Video DVD has been inserted. The standard format used for DVDs on the PS2 is UDF (Universal Disk Format), which greatly supports multi-session discs. The way ESR plays backups is by taking advantage of two of the main selling points of the PS2: its DVD drive and its ability to play Video DVD. ESR is always used in conjunction with FMCB: FMCB loads ELF files like ESR and ESR loads backup games. Just a silly question although i have to ask since i am a n00bie.lol which one is easier the first on e or the second.ESR is an application that lets you play certain PS2 backups without modifying the system as long as these backups are specially patched. Well i never created a dummy file and they game works burning a disc twice so i am guessing that the dummy file is why ESR is not working when making a iso with magicISO, magicISO does not create a correct dummy file? besides when i did these games the old (waste a dvd disc way.lol) i see no dummy file on the disc that was created using Ahead ROm the first time.

If you are using ESR and do not use the dummy, ESR will stop at a white screen. Oh one more thing on the tutorial it stated at step five 5 - Create a dummy file, this is necessary, your image must have at least 1.4GB in size or the game will not boot with or without ESR. oh yes the second link is a rather long process to create a dummy file and things like that i suppose that is what Ahead Rom is doing in creating a dvd udf/iso compilation, if not i wonder why ERS has that could not find blah blah error. i will look in the other link you provided. One this one tutorial you made titled PS2 CD _ DVD.pdf i dont see where you use ESR before burning the game.
