PS2 Playstation 2 PS2 DTL-T / TOOL Development T10000 T15000 Devkit dev kit thread

ok, im just trying to figure this out since i cant seem to get much of a different result. i know the drive makes spining noises but i dont know if its doing anything.
 
If you get "unknown disc", it may be the case of "disc read error", so you may need to replace the laser.

The laser can be replaced with KHS-400A, KHS-400B, or KHS-400C. Using KHS-400C is highly recommended since it is more reliable than the other two.


You don't need to use the disc drive. I would recommend installing the homebrew toolchain so you can develop programs making use of the 8MB of IOP memory, 128MB of EE memory, and functionality allowing you to debug IOP programs across IOP reboots. https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2dev

I also recommend checking Open PS2 Loader, which can load games from USB, ethernet, or HDD.
If you want to load from ethernet or HDD, you need a SCPH-10190 (or its equivalent debug model) placed in the PC CARD slot.
Additionally, if you want to load from HDD, you need either a SCPH-10210, SCPH-10390, or SCPH-20400 (or its equivalent debug model) plugged into the device in the PC CARD slot.
 
ok, ill look into the opl, it sounds like my laser died or is one the way out. soil see if the opl works for me. is this the only guide for opl on a tool ps2?
 
I made the guide assuming that you are using the dsnet toolset I linked earlier.
 
ok, i think i found something else, i just got code warrior and render ware sdk up and running. i have heard there is a way to run a full game through there, do you know how?
 
Does anybody on this thread know how to use code warrior or prodg on the ps2 tool?
 
I have an old 20400 hdd with cf adaptor, what are the commands to access this drive on the tool ps2?
 
ok im trying to follow your instructions on how to run opl on a tool. how would i get opl.elf onto the tool?
 
Use the dsnet toolset I linked earlier, which will allow you to access local files.
 
OK im assuming it needs to be installed on Linux, also i think i have a problem with step 2. Copy RDB to the desired place on your memory card. i think my controller and memory ports are not working since when i received my kit the cable came off in shipping and the connector was pulled half off the board. it may need to be re-soldered.
 
yea, i dont think my memory or controller ports will work for a little while.

You just need the dsnet toolset. You don't need to install RDB.
Open PS2 Loader supports PS3 contoller using USB.
do you know if a commarcial replacement will work?
Yes. You can use one for either fat or slim. If you use one for slim, be aware that it will not fit in the casing correctly.
