Sobre tu primera duda, solo necesitas el archivo ELF -los *.ELF son los ejecutables de la consola asi como los *.EXE son los de Windows- del PS2OS y un archivo USBD.IRX -si quieres tener compatibilidad con dispositivos USB-.
Dicho elf ocupa ~500KB.
La otra, intenta grabar la imagen a la velocidad mas lenta posible para que te reconozca ese CD de instalacion del KL.
Necesitas el KL para lanzar el PS2OS este dentro de la MC o en el disco duro.

Thanks for choosing PS2OS, a free program for your console management. The program is still in a developement phase, we're still at the beginning, but it smells really good. This project was born as a tool that can make comfortable the use of your PS2 for everything that is unrelated to gaming. Through this tool the management of a lot of features, for which you need a lot of different programs, will be easier.
- PS2OS will be fully skinnable
- Support for any tipe of devices (mc0 and mc1) and the opportunity of mounting 2 partition at the same time for partition-to-partition copy
- Graphic library migration from libito towards gslib
- Video definition improved with wobble cut-off
- You can now view Source and Destination in two separate windows
- External developers can now develop plugins due to two libraries (OSGFX and OSFS), created on purpose by team PS2OS
- Plug-in installation
- Application management and installation
- A new (and separate from OS ELF) OS installer. OS will be slimmer than the other versions, in order to allow a full installation on MC and DEV1 too (we hope we'll find infos about the various chips for this kind of setup)
- On the startup, Os' partition will be locked and will be available only in "Safe recovery mode"
- Safe recovery mode boot, will exclude skin,plugin loading. This mode will allow the uninstall of these options in order to avoid problems linked to these features. (This mode will be reachable through a button-pressing during the boot sequence)
- 48-bit HDD Support (Maintaining the old drivers too. A bool option that you'll be able to turn on/off)
- HOST, FTP, ecc services turn on/off opportunity
- Simple and semi-walk-through USBD.IRX driver installation (irx driver search in cd/dvd supports and istallation with the single button press)
- PS2Os working without an HDD too (In lite mod without the possibility of loading plugins, skins and apps)
The program has an elaborated GUI as the major force point, in order to provide the final user all the tools that it needs without occurring in strange button combos...the only thing you've to do is reading the fluent tutorial at the bottom of the screen in order to unveil all the program's features.
DEVELOPING PROGRESS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Impemented features:
- HDD & partition management
- Memory card management (Files, Directories, savegames viewer)
- USB Pen Drive 1.1 and 2.0 compatibility (File USBD.IRX needed, please read technical notes)
- Read/Write support for external USB drive
- CD/DVD boot
- Browser comeback feature
- Savegames management
Features that have to be implemented:
- Apps installation (Partially implemented)
- Fast apps boot (Partially implemented)
- And more to come
INSTALLATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once you launched PS2OS for the first time, will appear a setup screen. From this screen you'll be able to center your screen. choose the language (italian or english), choose the size for the PS2OS' partition and eventually the option for dev1 install.
PS2OS is installable in the dev1 modality, but you've to have a modchip compatible with the devolution mode: DMS3, Infinity, O2MOD,CrystalChip, DMS4... the only thing you need is pressing the square button during the setup... WARNING: It will delete your chip browser (crystal bootmanager, dms explorer...) and won't be added as an app in the browser menu. Only 150k will be required on the mc, the app will entirely reside on the HDD.
An update feature is included too, so when a new release of Ps2os will come, you'll just have to run the new version from cdrom or host, go to the config screen and choose Update. In this way the old PS2OS will be updated to the newest version.
Fast launcher feature does not work prefectly; it will fully work when ps2os pc client will be ready.
TECHNICAL NOTES
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PS2OS needs a Network Adaptor + HDD installed in order to work.
In order to grant the correct functioning of the USB Pen Drive:
- If you run PS2OS from a PC through ps2client + ps2link 1.23 you have to put USBD.IRX file in the directory where you launch PS2OS.
- If you run PS2OS from DEV1 or CD-ROM you have to put the USBD.IRX file in the mc0:/PS2OSCFG/ directory.
This file can be found in Naplink CD or inside some cd demos/games. It' very important that the files is named USBD.IRX in capital letters. If this operation (capitalization) won't be made, mass: unit won't be available.
