PCSX2 BIOS & memcard tools (Windows) - 130213.
================================

SwapMagic Coder
--------------------
Current version: 3.8
Website: "http://www.swapmagic3.com/".

Commercial application for booting "PS2 BIOS Dumper" & "uLaunchELF"
on a console through a USB flash-stick.

Note1: At least for PS2 slim, "Tool kit" is not needed; no tampering with the console is required.
Note2: Get the right region version.

PS2 BIOS Dumper
---------------------
Current version: 2.0
Download: "http://pcsx2.net/downloads.php?p=tool".

This program dumps the BIOS of a PlayStation®2 console.

To use this program:
1 Move\copy "PS2DUMPER.ELF" to a folder named "SWAPMAGIC".
2 Rename the "PS2DUMPER.ELF" file to "SWAPMAGIC.ELF".
3 Move\copy the folder to a FAT32 formated USB flash-stick.
- USB flash-sticks usually are pre-formated in FAT32.
4 Boot the console with the "Swapmagic Coder" disc.
5 Insert the USB flash-stick.
6 Reset the console by dubble-pressing the on\off button on the console
- (not through the SwapMagic menu).

Optionally: Put the created files in a folder on the computer.
Add the "7ZA.exe" file.
Run the ".bat" file, and a new file with the ".P2b" suffix is created.
Add the "_" character plus the serial number of the console to the filename.
The ".P2b" format never made it into PCSX2 though; it's not supported.

To use the BIOS, rename the files to:
diff.bin
erom.bin
nvm.bin
rom0.bin
rom1.bin
rom2.bin
On newer consoles "EROM" & "ROM2" are missing since they are unused,
and "ROM1" is only required for using the PS2's LD-player,
which is something PCSX2 can point out with a message.

uLE - uLaunchELF
--------------------
Current version: 4.42d
Download: "http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachments/...v4.42b.zip".
Forum: "http://www.psx-scene.com/forums/f113/uno...2-a-37242/".
uLE Documentation: "http://psx-scene.com/forums/313840-post43.html".
uLE Wiki: "http://ps2ulaunchelf.pbworks.com/w/page/.../FrontPage".

This program can copy files between the storage mediums of a PS2,
which includes copying the contents of the "Magic Gate" memory card
to a USB flash-stick and vice versa.

To use this program:
1 Move\copy the "BOOT.ELF" to a folder named "SWAPMAGIC".
2 Rename the "BOOT.ELF" file to "SWAPMAGIC.ELF".
3 Move\copy the "SWAPMAGIC.CNF" file to the "SWAPMAGIC" folder.
4 Move\copy the folder to a FAT32 formated USB flash-stick.
- USB flash-sticks usually are pre-formated in FAT32.
5 Boot the console with the "Swapmagic Coder" disc.
6 Insert the USB flash-stick.
7 Reset the console by dubble-pressing the on\off button on the console
- (not through the SwapMagic menu).

Don't worry if (for any reason) uLaunch displays "Failed To Load LAUNCHELF.CNF";
it's not a problem here.

PS2 Save Builder
-------------------
Current version: 0.8x
Download: "http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.php...oaddetails".

This program packs the folders extracted from the memcard with uLaunchELF
into a format that MyMC can use (".cbs").

To use this program:
1 Locate the folder of the dump.
2 Copy the foldername of the first subfolder into Root/ID.
3 Rightclick on the "Filename\Size" box and choose "Add File".
4 Browse to the folder in question.
5 Select the first file and repeat step 2-4 until all files have been listed.
6 Choose "File"\"Save As" in the menu.
7 Change "Fileformat" to "Code Breaker Saves(*.cbs)".
8 Choose a directory, a name (1, 2, ...) and save.
9 Repeat 1-7 until all folders have been converted.

MyMC
-------
Current version: 2.6 (alpha)
Download\Website: "http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca:11068/mymc/index.html".

This program can transfer ".cbs" packed folders
(and other formats) into the PCSX2 memcard.
Just add the packed folders one by one
through the Import button, and save.
The memcard must already have been formated though,
which can be done with PCSX2.

MyMC depends on "msvcp71.dll" & "msvcr71.dll" to work,
and it might be that these files are missing in your computer.
If so, then you will have to obtain them somehow
and add them manually to the MyMC folder.
Microsoft doesn't make these files available for download, but:
"msvcp71.dll": "http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-fi...ml?msvcp71".
"msvcr71.dll": "http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-fi...ml?msvcr71".

MC Extract
------------
Current version: 1.01
No official download\website.
Attachment below.

"MC Extract" extracts the files\folders from the PCSX2 memcard format ".ps2".
The files\folders can then be transfered to the console memcards with uLaunchELF.
