			 MULTILOADER 1.41 para Playstation 2
			=====================================


 PRESENTATION:
---------------

     Multiloader v1.41 is going to allow us to execute an application stored in a CD/DVD (classic mode) 
   or from the Memory Card (MC mode) simply selectingthe image that we have associated to that application
   (more ahead we will see like associating images) in a menu quite intuitive. Also it is going to allow 
   to upload our applications from the CD/DVD to the Memory Card (installation mode). 
   
     Multiloader v1.41 is 100% compatible with the PS1DRV exploit. 
     
     Multiloader v1.41 will show the menus in ingles or Spanish. The language in which our PS2 is 
   configured will be detected automatically, if it is Spanish, the menus will be shown in Spanish and 
   in English for the rest of the countries.


 USE OF SOFTWARE:
------------------

     'How to' associating an image JPG to an application:

     Quick attention to the attached file MULTI.XML. Restriction: the images MUST have size 130x155, 
     if it DOES NOT have it, the image will not be shown. 
     
     In order to become an idea of the 3 ways of execution, this one is the process that carries out 
     Multiloader during the starting: 

     Step 1 -> The root of the disc inserted is checked in search of file INSTALL.CNF, if it finds it, 
               the file will be processed (Install way) and will continue in step 2, if it does not find it will 
	       continue with step 2.

     Step 2 -> The root of the disc inserted is checked in search of file MULTI.XML, if it finds it, 
               the file will be processed (classic way), if it does not find it will continue with step 3.

     Step 3 -> The directory Mc0:/MULTILOADER is checked in search of file MULTI.XML, if it finds it, 
               the file will be processed (way MC), if it does not find will give it an error.	   
	       

     Next the 3 ways of execution in detail:

     - classic Way =>  the applications are stored in the CD/DVD. Attached file MULTI.XML that serves as 
                     example for applications that are loaded from CD/DVD. Example:
		...
		<item>
			<name>
				PS2MEDIA
			</name>
			<path>
				cdrom0:\PS2MEDIA.ELF;
			</path>
			<description>
				Multimedia Player for PS2.
			</description>
			<image>
				cdrom0:\PS2MEDIA.JPG;
			</image>
		</item>	
		...

		    Restriction: file MULTI.XML must be in the root of the disc.

     - MC Way =>  the applications are stored in the Memory Card. In file MULTI.XML, so single 
                it would be necessary to adapt paths of application and image from cdrom0 to mc0. Example:
		...
		<item>
			<name>
				PS2MEDIA
			</name>
			<path>
				mc0:/MULTILOADER/PS2MEDIA.ELF
			</path>
			<description>
				Multimedia Player for PS2.
			</description>
			<image>
				mc0:/MULTILOADER/PS2MEDIA.JPG
			</image>
		</item>	
		...

		    Restriction: file MULTI.XML must be in the directory mc0:/MULTILOADER of the Memory Card 
		    in port 1.

      - Install Way =>  using this way you can upload archives (ELFs, IRXs, JPGs...) from the CD/DVD unit 
                      to the Memory Card port 1. In file INSTALL.CNF we will specify the origin and the destiny 
		      of the files. The format of this file is very simple, each line has two parts, 
		      the left indicates the file origin and the right indicates the destiny where that 
		      file will be copied, both parts separate by means of spaces or tabulacions. 
		      Attached an example file INSTALL.CNF.

		        Before beginning the installation, the directory mc0:/MULTILOADER will be automatically
		      created in your Memory Card port 1 and also an icon will be associated to this directory 
		      so that it is not shown like "damaged data" at the PS2 explorer.

		        When the installation is in course, a screen with the progress of the installation 
		      will be shown.

		      Note: although in the file INSTALL.CNF this one has not been specified that 
		      MULTI.XML be copied to the directory mc0:/MULTILOADER, it will be copied automatically 
		      from cdrom0:\MULTI.XML;1 to mc0:/MULTILOADER/MULTI.XML

		      Restriction: It must not have lines in target between lines, forward edge does not 
		      have to be empty, so single the last line is allowed that it is empty.


      Buttons and functions:
				X -> to launch application 
				SELECT -> credits
				/\ -> audio on/off 
				() -> way of starting v1.02, v1.33 or v1.41 
				R2 -> audio volume + 
				L2 -> audio volume - 
				R1 -> page forwards (in case of having more than 6 applications) 
				L1 -> page backwards (in case of having more than 6 applications)

 ADDITIONAL NOTES:
-------------------

   File MULTILOA.ELF has been compressed with the tool PS2-Packer de Nicolas "Pixel" Nobleman. The reason 
of this is that it uses the smaller possible space in the Memory Card for those people whom they want
to use it like BOOT.ELF with the PS1DRV exploit.
