0.2D Playstation 2 edition (sort of)

Recommended Posts

Well I've been sitting on this for a while , the ability to play hill valley on PlayStation 2.

this is for the slim line playstations only!!! find another way to hack a playstation 2 original!!!!

since the ps2 version is not very stable you cant have custom cars, sounds or custom textures

that being, I've rewrote the main.scm and american.gxt to work with the PlayStation 2

this tutorial will cover everything from the best way to hack a PlayStation 2 to run unsigned code, to burning the disk

Table of contents

A. Disclaimer

1. Checking the Playstation 2 if it can be hacked

2. Supplies needed

3. The Tape Mod

4. Burning the disk

5. The Crack

6. Burning Hill Valley

7. Playing the game.

A. Disclaimer

If you break the PS2 in any way it is not my fault, I am not responsible for anything you do. I will not replace you're ps2 if you were stupid enough to break it, you can fix it or buy a new one.

1. Checking the Playstation 2 if it can be hackedChecking the Playstation 2 if it can be hacked

if you're ps2 is in the SCPH 90000's this will nto work, if its in the 7XXXXX series it can be hacked.

2. Supplies needed

Electrical tape

philips Screwdriver

Slim Playstation 2

a DVD-R (others will not work!!)

a copy of 007 Agent underfire or nightfire

a memorycard with atleast 2mb of free space

an IQ larger than 10

a usb flash drive

a dulled razor blade

active internet connection

3. The Tape Mod

unplug everything from the playstation 2

this includes but are not limited to,

power cord

video cord

memory cards

controllers

ethernet cable

usb input devices

disk in the tray

take the razor blade and pop off the tabs under the PlayStation 2

place them on the underside of some electrical tape to keep them sticky

take the screws out and put them on the tape too so you don't loose them.

gently lift the top of the console off and flip it over,

remove the disk brake assembly screw from the flip top, and take the disk brake off. you wont need it, throw it away.

place the top of the playstation somewhere out of the way that you can find it later

there is a sensor on top of the power switch.

take the razor blade and cut a small peice of electrical tape, place it over the switch be careful to not cover the small power LED

in the back of the playstation near the drive assembly on the left is a small white square, next to that is a black switch , press it down with a good amount of tape, re assemble the playstation and plug everything back in.

4. Burning the hack disk

for this step you will need to download this package

save this for later

inside the PS2 Package.rar you will find this directory

PS2 Package.rar

>PS2

DRIVING.ELF

>>programs

>>Files

insert your Agent underfire or nightfire ps2 disk and make an iso of the program using imgburn

use apache.exe to open the iso

select one of the DRIVING.ELF in the iso to replace

click iso tools

click change TOC for selected file

right click the replacement file and go to properties

in general you will see the file size followed by the size in bytes

enter the bytes into the TOC , do not change the LBA, click update file.

find the file in the iso again and hilight it

click iso tools again and click update selected file

burn the iso with imgburn

download this package next

copy all contents to a usb drive

you are ready to crack the memory card!

5. The Crack

insert your Legal copy of 007 agent underfire or nightfire.

play the game until you get to a mission where you have to drive a car, save the game and go back to the main menu

insert your usb drive

open the tray and swap the legal copy with the new disk very quickly.

load the save for the driving mission, and run the mission

you will be greeted with a menu

locate mass 0 and run freemcboot.elf

install the multi version so you can hack other peoples ps2's with your memory card and a usb drive

6. Burning Hill Valley

insert your legal vice city ps2 disk and make an iso of the program using imgburn

use apache.exe to open the iso

select one of the 3 files provided in the iso to replace (handling.cfg. main.scm American.gxt)

click iso tools

click change TOC for selected file

right click the replacement file and go to properties

in general you will see the file size followed by the size in bytes

enter the bytes into the TOC , do not change the LBA, click update file.

find the file in the iso again and hilight it

click iso tools again and click update selected file

repeat this for the next 2 files

burn the iso with imgburn

Pretty cool!

However, PC is for me. :P

An easier way to do this is to just plug a PS2 controller into your computer and play the game. LOL

or you could fit computer components inside a fat ps2 case and make people think that you have bttfhv on a ps2 (using a ps2 emualtor to get the same start up)

Playing HV on many systems is nice, but I think you're working too hard. Is it that necessary to go through all this work?

As you go on in life you find that you can't burn a candle at both ends.
