Posible solución a Shadow of colossus

Ps2-scene escribió: who posted on ps2hd thinks you can playit like this

i know a way to play shadow of colossus via hdd i havent tested it cause i dont have a ethernet adaptor
but i found some valuable info inside the elf file
the game searches for specific irx driver files and when it doesnt find them it resets the iop
some irx files that are needed by the game to support the hdd isnt there so you have to take them from another game and it ll work
i have a list with all the missing files
cdrom0:\MODULES\AN986.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\DEV9.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\SMAP.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\PPP.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\PPPOE.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\MSIFRPC.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES\LIBNET.IRX;1
cdrom0:\MODULES2\NETCNFIF.IRX;1
these are the files
i can provide you the code too
where it searches for them

ok now look closely
the game searches for all the above driver files
a specific one the dev9.irx is a generic driver for the HDD
many game have this file
the other ppp.irx are not needed by the way
i dont have a hdd but i do compile multigames on 1 dvd so a lot of games use the same irx files in the same dir
so if you find just the dev9.irx from another game and place it inside the dir modules\ the game will boot
i am pretty sure cause the iop wont reset
please share this info with some patch creators
if i had a hdd and network adaptor i could help you
the info is inside the SCUS_974.72 in offset 0x37850h
