Funny to see amiga and xbox people diss each other here. After all, both the amiga and xbox are for wanker coders who only know how to code on fixed hardware. Real men go for the challenge of the
driver and hardware hell that's also known as PC :-)


Sometimes I start to wonder how seriously I should take that what you say. Not that the latter is untrue, but you must admit that it's totally biased bullshit in a certain respect :)

psionic: well the problem with some ( or most ) elves is that they want to load stuff over host: ( a device provided by for example naplink and ps2link ), otherwise its just a matter of creating an iso with the elf ( and whatever other files it needs ), burn it in mode 2.
Is there any special demo that you would like to have in iso format ?

Its funny to yet once again hear Freeze talk trash about ps2, especially mentioning specs, when he whenever is cornered hands out the line "im not a coder, so I dunno".
just wish he once and for all would shut the fuck up when it comes to technical matters since he never seems to have any merit for it.
But I guess he wants ppl to start stealing candies from children for his evergrowing DC empire.

Ok, you want a serious statement Plek? Then here it comes:

It doesn't matter at all which platform is better or which one you use. Each platform has it's own limits and it's own challenges and each platform is therefore *extremely* suitable for demos. It doesn't matter if it's an Amiga, a PS2, an XBox or an original IBM PC with a cga-card and an internal beeper. Just keep breaking the limits of the damn thing...

forgot to mention that names should be 8.3 and system.cnf needs to look like this.

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\ELITE.ELF;1
VER = 1.10
VMODE = NTSC

the most important thing here is the boot path.

Good!

And wel all know that PS2-coders are best-paid in the industry in general :) Right now, that is.

finally, a taker :D

blackd_wd: thanks, thats a lot of help. I'd expected it to be a little more complicated than that. The main 2 I want to run are the just released AHX Musicdisk and of course Aura for Laura. I'll give those a try with the method you described.

Actually I think it may be a little more complicated as I have an original Jap ps2 and it has some libraries missing from the rom. I should have the libs somewhere on a game disk tho, if the demos need them i assume it will find the libs on the cd, otherwise i'm stuck anyway :/

One other thing - is there a loader or something that will let me choose what to load off the CD, so I don't waste 99% of the cd space putting just one demo on it?

as far as the AHX musicdisk goes, I can always bug raizor to make an iso.

Aura for Laura does not load anything from host: as far as I remember, but on the other hand it do write messages to host: and might fail there, should try to make a cleaner build out of the sources someday.

Aura for Laura runs fine from CD. I've made a bin/cue which you can grab from here:

Aura for Laura CD Version

burned it in mode2 and it works fine :)

Generalisation is *not* a charm.
