1. Installing & Configuring myPS2
To install myPS2 to your memory card simply transfer the following directories
and files using your favourite file manager or FTP program (Directory- and
filenames are case sensitive).
/boot/
/fonts/
/language/
/shoutcast/
/skins/
/logs/
MYPS2.ELF
CONFIG.DAT
samba.xml
After you have transfered the files just launch the MYPS2.ELF executable
from your bootlauncher application.
If you want to install the program to your HDD you must add two entries
to the CONFIG.DAT file:
hdd_boot_part = hdd0:PARTITION
hdd_boot_path = /PROGRAMS/MYPS2/
hdd_boot_part is the name of the partition you have myPS2 installed on.
hdd_boot_path is the path of the directory you have myPS2 installed in.
You can also run the program from CD. To do this burn the files on CD along
with the SYSTEM.CNF file. You should also add a dummy file to the compilation.
It doesn't matter what this file is, just make sure it's at least 30 MB.
USB Support
If you want to use your USB stick with myPS2 you need to supply an
USBD.IRX module. You can find this module on many PS2 game discs so
you can just copy it from one of your games.
Alternatively you can use the usbd module from Naplink which
can be downloaded at http://naplink.napalm-x.com/
myPS2 will look for the USBD.IRX module in the installation directory first.
If it can't find the file in the installation directory it will then look for
the module on the memory card in the following places:
- mc0:/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/SYS-CONF/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/BOOT/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/BOOT/SMS/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/BOOT/PS2MP3/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/SMS/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/PS2MP3/USBD.IRX
HDD Partition
If myPS2 detects a HDD on startup but cannot find a myPS2 partition, it will
ask you if you want to create one and guide you through the process. You don't
have to create a HDD partition but doing so will allow to use advanced features
such as Thumbnail Caching.

Accessing Samba (Windows) Network Shares
You can access shared network folders from myPS2. To share a folder on a
network under Windows XP, right click it and select "Sharing and Security".
To access the share from myPS2 you must then add an entry to the samba.xml
file.
An entry in the file would look like this :
<share>
<name>My C-Drive (SMB)</name>
<path>smb://username:password@computer/C/</share>
</share>
name is the name that will show up in the menu.
path is the path to the network share.
The path can include a username and a password, as in the example above.
Whether this is neccessary or not depends on your Windows/Samba configuration.
computer is the network name of the computer. You can also enter the IP
address of the computer instead of its name.
If you want to use this feature you must first configure the network in the
Network Settings menu.
This is a new feature and I have only tested it with my Windows XP box. It should
work with all other versions of Windows or Samba, but if you can not get it to work,
here are some things to try out :
- If you are running Windows XP it can help to turn off the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" setting under
"Local Area Network Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "WINS"
- Enter the IP address of your computer instead of its NetBIOS name in the samba.xml file.
- Create an lmhosts file with appropriate settings for your network and upload it
to mc0:lmhosts
- Make sure you can access your shares from other computers in the network.
My Pictures
This lets you browse picture collections on CD/DVD/MC/HDD/USB or Samba shares.
The "Cache Images" Option generates thumbnails for all images in the current
directory and stores them on the HDD. This reduces loading times alot.
Clicking on a thumbnail will open the detail view of the image. In detail
view you can zoom in and out with the CIRCLE and SQUARE buttons. To return
to the thumbnail view press the TRIANGLE button.
My Programs
This lets you launch other homebrew programs from MC/HDD/CD and USB.
If you click on a ELF file in the file list myPS2 will exit and attempt
to load the selected ELF executable.
My Files
This lets you manage files and directories.
Creating New Folders
To create a new folder navigate to the directory you want to create the folder
in and then click the "New Folder" button. Enter the name of the folder in the
keyboard dialog window and press the "OK" button.
Renaming And Deleting
To rename or delete a file or directory select it from the file list and mark it
by pressing the SQUARE button. The entry will then be highlighted and the
"Rename" and "Delete" buttons will become available.
To rename the file click "Rename", enter the new name in the keyboard dialog and
click "OK".
To delete the file click the "Delete" button. A window will pop up and ask for
confirmation so that you can not accidentally delete any of your files. You can
also delete several files at once, just highlight all files and directories that
you want to delete.
Copying Files
Highlight the files and directories that you want to copy by pressing the
SQUARE button. The "Copy" button will become active once you have selected at
least one file. When you are done selecting your files click the "Copy" button
and the program will ask you to select the destination directory.
Navigate to the directory you want the files to be copied into. The "Start" button
will become available once you have selected a valid destination directory.
Click the "Start" button to start the copy operation.
My Music
This lets you playback MP3s and Internet Radio Streams. M3U playlist files
are also supported.
To play an MP3 or M3U file simply select it from the list and press the
CROSS button.
Internet Radio
You need to configure your network settings before you can use this feature.
Click on the "Download" button to download a list with radio stations from
Shoutcast.com.
This can take a little while depending on the speed of your internet connection. Once the
download is complete, you can select a radio station from the list and tune in by pressing
the CROSS button.
You can also import your bookmarks from Winamp into myPS2. Just copy the Winamp.bm file
from the Winamp directory into the shoutcast directory of your myPS2 installation. You can
then access your bookmarks under "Bookmarks" in the radio menu.
Settings
This lets you configure some program variables. You can save your changes permamently
by clicking the "Save Config" button. This will write the CONFIG.DAT to disk (into
the same directory the myPS2.elf executable is in). "Load Config" will load config
settings from disk.
Screen Mode Selection
This lets you configure the display mode. Normally myPS2 will figure out
the appropriate display mode for your PS2 automatically, however by changing
this option you can enforce a certain display mode.
Screen X Adjust
This lets you adjust the horizontal offset of the screen display.
Screen Y Adjust
This lets you adjust the vertical offset of the screen display.

"My Pictures" menu. This can speed up image browsing alot.
Thumbnail Cache Path
This lets you configure where the thumbnail data is stored if Thumbnail
Caching is enabled.
Cache Shoutcast List
If this option is enabled myPS2 will save the shoutcast station listing to
disc.
Network Settings
This lets you configure your network settings. If you don't plan on using any
of the network functionality you can turn the network off. This will speed up
the boot process. You must restart myPS2 after changing any of the network
changes for them to take effect.

192.168.0.10
Subnet mask
This lets you configure the subnet mask of your network. The default setting
is 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address
This lets you configure the Gateway Address of your network. If you are behind
a router this is often 192.168.0.1
DNS Address
This lets you configure the IP Address of your DNS server. If your router acts
as a DNS server set this to your router's IP address. If you are unsure about
your DNS server address ask your ISP.
The following settings let you configure the built-in FTP server.
FTP Enable
Enable this if you want to use the FTP server.
FTP Port
This lets you configure the port that will be used for the FTP server. The default
settings is 21.

This lets you configure the address of the WINS server in your network to use for
name resolution. If you don't know what a WINS server is, just leave this setting alone.
Partition Settings
This lets you configure which HDD partitions will be mounted on start up.
If you want to access other HDD partitions from myPS2 you must add them to the mount
list in this menu.
To add a partition to the mount list, select it from the partition list and highlight
it by pressing the SQUARE button. Once you have selected all partitions that you want
to include in the mount list press the "Apply Changes" button. This will attempt to mount
all of your selected partitions. If you want to save the changes permanently go back
to the Settings menu and click "Save Config".
The myPS2 partition is always mounted to mountpoint pfs0. If you boot the program from
HDD the boot partition is mounted to pfs1. Other partitions are mounted according to
their order of the partition list, i.e. the first selected partition is mounted to mountpoint
pfs2, the second to pfs3 etc.
Skin Settings
This lets you configure which skin is used.
To apply a new skin select it from the list and press the CROSS button. Applying a new
skin can take a few seconds because all of the skin data has to be loaded and parsed.
Language Settings
This lets you chose a language from the installed language packs.
To activate a language pack select it from the list and press the CROSS button.
The "Charset" option lets you configure the character encoding. The default character

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a harddisk to run myPS2?
No, myPS2 will also work without a harddisk but some features can only be used if
a HDD is present.
Can I run myPS2 on unmodified consoles?
There are ways to run homebrew programs on unmodified consoles such as the independence
exploit or swap tricks. If you want to know how any of these work check out the forums
at http://www.ps2hd.com/ and http://www.ps2-scene.org/.
My USB stick does not work!
You have to supply an USBD.IRX module if you want to use your USB stick with myPS2, read
here. Also there are some USB sticks that won't work with myPS2.
When I try to rename a directory on my memory card nothing happens?
Renaming directories on Memory Cards and USB sticks has not been implemented yet.
Can I use myPS2 to watch DivX movies?
No, myPS2 currently does not have any video playback functionality. You should check out
EEUG's Simple Media System (SMS) for that!
I get a blackscreen but the bootscreen said everything was OK?
You have probably installed a bad skin then. After myPS2 has loaded all of its drivers it
resets the graphics synthesizer and tries to load the skin. If it encounters a problem while
loading the skin the program will halt. You can either edit the CONFIG.DAT manually and change
the "skin_name" setting back to "default" or boot in safe mode (read below) and then change
the skin in the Skin Settings menu.
I changed something in the config file and now the program won't boot anymore.
You can either try to run another program and simply delete the myPS2 CONFIG.DAT file or
you can boot in safe mode.
To boot in safe mode press R1, R2, L1 and L2 simultaneously while myPS2 is booting. myPS2 will
then use the default system settings rather than reading the settings from the CONFIG.DAT.
Feature XY doesn't work / The program crashes when I try to...
If you find any unknown bugs please send me an email and let me know. Otherwise I can't fix them.
You can also post at one of the forums mentioned in the Links Section to get help.
How do I install custom skins?
Extract the custom skin to the /skins/ directory. It should then show up in the Settings menu
under "Skins".
How do I install language packs?
Copy the language xml file into the /language/ directory. It should then show up in the Settings
menu under "Language". If your language pack does not use the default Latin-1 character encoding
you will also have to change the "Charset" setting in the Language Menu.
I can not access my Samba network shares
Make sure your Windows Network/Samba configuration is correct, check if you can access your shared
folders from other computers in the network so you can rule out configuration and access problems.
If you are running Windows XP it can help to turn off the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" setting under
Network Configuration.
