For faster speed, use HDD or SMB.

You need to use SMBv1. You can use this program for that purpose: https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9666

can the linux os access the pcmcia hdd or will that only work when the ps2 hdd is active? for me it only turned on when opl was running

Yes, it is possible to access PS2 HDD in Linux using pfsshell or hdl_dump.

do you have any commands for me on the tool or would it be better to just open it and copy it from a pc?

It's better and faster to open it and copy from PC.

 

[slycooper124]

shall i assume the raw hdd copy tool program?

These are the two main settings menus, there is nothing stating about padenu.

you want me to defrag a flash drive, wont that break the flash drive?

Don't defrag your USB - you will kill your flash, check this article:

ok, if i were to image my japanese external ps2 hdd would you be interested in that? it might have some ps2bb stuff

It is better not to run any app with HDD attached cause you can remove temp partitions that can contain useful data. But you already run OPL with it - that means that +OPL partition is already created which is not good. Detach your HDDs, make backups, and post it in this thread:
Some CEX PS2 HDD dumps...

Then you can play with them.

For browsing HDDs you can use this program on windows:

So would you say, just connect it to my computer and run raw hdd copy

 

[slycooper124]

Ok, if I have time today ill see if I can get this done.

Any chance to get HDD images from these TOOLs?

good to see every one face to TOOL HDD recover....

If you ever wonder why your DTL smells horrible, it's probably this sponge that's deteriorating, had to remove it on 2 of my kits, thankfully wasn't present on the DTL-T15000, it makes an awful mess if you leave it too long

Construction changed slightly over the years it seems

 

[slycooper124]

What was the year of your kit with the foam pad, mine with the copper pad was Feb 2000

I come bearing gifts:

File folder on MEGA

mega.nz

note 10k kit 1 was tampered with before i dumped it (new user account "dev" added but thats it). the second kit was untouched.

also strangely enough, the second kits drive1 dump compressed is larger than the compressed dump from the first kit, was expecting it to be similar in size. i havn't run recovery on either yet, ill try run r-studio over them soon and upload the scn files to mega

 

[hermesconrad]

i've added the r-studio recovery scn files for all 4 drives to save you time, you can find them in the folders in the previous post
