ps2rdmod
​

ps2rdmod is a program for your PS2 that allows you to automatically apply PCSX2 patch files (.pnach) to your CD/DVD games.

ps2rdmod requires no user interaction and is usually silent (black screen) - text is printed the first time a game is run or when an error occurs.


How to use it
Installing
  • Extract and copy the contents of the ps2rdmod zip file to a new directory on either a USB thumb drive or your PS2 memory card (using a program like uLaunchELF)
Adding patches
  • Copy the .pnach files for your games into the PNACH directory within the ps2rdmod folder on your thumb drive or memory card
Starting a game with patches applied
  • Insert the game disc and run ps2rd.elf

General FAQ
  • "What's the compatibility like?"
    For most games everything works automatically - however some games require mastercodes that cannot be automatically determined - the cheats.txt file included with ps2rdmod contains mastercodes for several games known to not work with automatic analysis:
    • Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (NTSC)
    • Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PAL-UK/FR)
    • Red Dead Revolver (NTSC)
    • Destroy All Humans (NTSC)
    • Destroy All Humans 2 (NTSC)
  • "Can I use this with GSM?"
    Yes! GSM compatibility is fixed in version 1.01.
  • "Can I use this with OPL?"
    ps2rdmod is not meant to be used with OPL.
  • "Are there any other relevant changes from normal ps2rd?"
    Other changes to ps2rdmod include improved USB support (replaced usb_mass.irx with usbhdfsd.irx), a packed ELF (smaller size) and a higher cheat limit (500 instead of 100).
  • "Can I use this like normal ps2rd?"
    Yes! The standard ps2rd UI can be enabled by setting "auto = false" in ps2rd.conf (although this disables all extra ps2rdmod functionality).


How it works
ps2rdmod adds automatic mastercode determination and CRC calculation to ps2rd which is why it requires no user interaction.

The files cheats.txt and crc.txt are updated to store mastercodes and CRCs so that analysis only needs to happen once per game (boot times are pretty fast).

PNACH cheat codes are loaded *in addition to* cheat codes found in cheats.txt.

Update 1.01 fixes GSM compatibility

Hello
I tested your Homebrew and although it didn't work on some games it proved to be very helpful to me. I already use Widescreen Hacks converting pnach files to RAW hex codes and applying them with Cheat Device. The games/codes I tried all work with Cheat Device. They are NFSU SLES_519.67, ToCA Race Driver 2 SLES_526.37 and ToCA Race Driver 3 SLES_530.87.

When I launched ps2rd I got no signal screen. ToCA games didn't boot. NFSU worked though. What I found really helpful is that the program generates good mastercodes.

My PS2 is a PAL 50k. Idk if you're still working on this but thank you.

You're connecting PS2 with TV through what type of cable?
If it is component try composite.

Yes I use component. I tried other games and they booted fine even if there was no pnach for them. ToCA Games are known to have anti hack protections. Thank you.

I can't use this like simple PS2rd? Now I realized I can Forbidden Siren 2 in 60hz because of GSM NTSC setting. Using GSM before or after CheatDevice or PS2rd is causing my PS2 to sadly hang..

EDIT: Damn let me try the auto=false then oops..
 
Nope, so close.. GSM NTSC exit to browser, hold R1 for wLE, PS2rdmod enable cheats and use BOOT.ELF back to wLE, open OPL, froze on Saving Config

EDIT: I took a quick glance @ this maybe I get lucky whenever I can really acquire the game. My raw cheats to .pnach format looks like last thing to try

EDIT 2: No!!! I'd even tried PS2rd original and skipping standalone GSM and the same thing. OPL v1.0.0

I see, they're only meant to boot discs. ESDL nothing either
