[TuT] Setting up PS2 PlaceHolder REBUG Edition (Controller Sync Fix for PS2 Games on nonBC Consoles

Verzantgray said:
Thanks for the amazing tutorial, was looking for a way to play without the need for cables for some time !, Only had a doubt this would work by adding a second controller later? or you would have to do the process again ?

All 4 controllers should work fine after one is working
 
sorry i have a question. i intended to play ps2 games using ISO from webman, so i follow this guide:
1. Firstly restore your settings to default from XMB
2. Install Placeholder and active the .rap file with PSNPatch (or reactPSN if you prefer)
3. Open multiMAN in normal mode, click on an PS2ISO (ripped from your orginal disc or downloaded from web), and convert it to Classic (ISO.BIN.ENC)
4. Use mM file manager to go to path: "/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/<gamename>/" and move the ISO.BIN.ENC to "/dev_hdd0/game/PS2U1000/USRDIR/"
5. Be sure to have Cobra and webMAN active via Rebug Toolboox
6. Use webMAN MOD toggle SELECT+L2+triangle in XMB and a notification will popup saying PS2 Classic is enabled
7. Run the game previously converted to Classic (ISO.BIN.ENC) from Placeholder (not the PS2 disc icon) and maintain a stable sync without an USB cable, then close the game (It is important to maintain the sync with Classic, otherwiise it will not sync with an ISO)
8. Use webMAN MOD toggle SELECT+L2+triangle in XMB and a notification will popup saying PS2 Classic is disabled
9. Copy all your ISOs to "/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/"
10. Mount an ISO with webMAN and run it always with Placeholder (not the PS2 disc icon)

it works, but something happened. when i try to go back and using my ps2classic placeholder without enabling cobra, it just show no signal/blackscreen. it works for me before, playing ps2 games without cobra. but after i followed that guide i cant play ps2 anymore, even with games that work for me before. i tried everything, reset my xregistry in dev_flash2, reset default setting, replace my ps2 placeholder, enabling and disabling ps2classic trough webman, except reset my system cause i dont have enough HD to backup my data. now i play my ps2 using original ps2emu by switching it in rebug toolbox. i use rebug 7.8 cex right now. is there something wrong with my cobra? what can i do to fix it so it can go back to normal like before? any answer i would appreciate it.... and sorry for my bad english, not my native language.....
 
Somebody help me pls

My Configs:

REBUG 4.78.1 COBRA 7.2
REBUG TOOL BOX 02.02.09


On RebugToolBox:
--System Mode: REBUG
--XMB Operation Mode: DEBUG
--Debug Menu Type: CEX QA
--Toggle COBRA Mode: Enabled
--Toggle PS2 Emulator: Original
--Toggle WebMAN: Enabled

>>>> Running PS2 (Encrypted BIN.ENC) Games from [PS2 ISO & CLASSIC LAUNCHER], the games works fine, the sync is perfect, BUT, it does not reconize my Internal Memory Cards, even if I Assing them...

>>>>, If I try go to MultiMAN and TURN ON the COBRA MODE and select my PS2 ISO GAME (without the encrytion BIN.ENC) and run by disc on XMB I've got NO SCREEN...

What am I doing wrong??

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now with theese configs on RebugToolBox:
--System Mode: REBUG
--XMB Operation Mode: DEBUG
--Debug Menu Type: CEX QA
--Toggle COBRA Mode: Enabled
--Toggle PS2 Emulator: COBRA
--Toggle WebMAN: Enabled

>>>> Running PS2 (Encrypted BIN.ENC) Games from [PS2 ISO & CLASSIC LAUNCHER], the games keep running fine, the sync is perfect,BUT, it does not reconize my Internal Memory Cards, even if I Assing them...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BUT NOW, if I go to MultiMAN and TURN ON the COBRA MODE and select my PS2 ISO GAME (without the encrytion BIN.ENC) and run by disc on XMB, the game works fine, the Internal Memory Card works fine, BUT the controller do not sync ¬¬



I must be missing something... Please, guys, help me. IMO I guess the best way to play PS2 games is running by PS2 ISO & CLASSIC LAUNCHER, but it does not reconize my internal memory cards... I've never tried PS2 Placeholder...

:)

Alright, guys, check this out

with [PS2 Classics Placeholder 1.03] by HABIB

REBUGTOOLBOX
TOGGLE PS2 EMULATOR: COBRA

Selecting the PS2 ISO GAME (without the encrytion BIN.ENC) from Multiman and running the PS2 Classic Placeholder, the game works like a charm! The sync it's OK and the Memory Card it's OK.

Selecting the PS2 ISO GAME (without the encrytion BIN.ENC) from WebMAN>Playstation2>GAME>Ps2classicplaceholder>Ps2classicplaceholder the game works like a charm! The sync it's OK and the Memory Card it's OK.

Selecting the PS2 ISO GAME (Encrypted BIN.ENC) from WebMAN>Playstation2>GAME>Ps2classicplaceholder>Ps2classicplaceholder the game works like a charm! The sync it's OK and the Memory Card it's OK.

It creates a icon called [Saved Data Utility (PS2)] and creates an archive there called PS2 Classics Placeholder, probably the memory card files are there...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REBUGTOOLBOX
TOGGLE PS2 EMULATOR: ORIGINAL

Selecting the PS2 ISO GAME (without the encrytion BIN.ENC) from Multiman and running the PS2 Classic Placeholder, the game don't LOAD and the PS2 Classic Placeholder load Tetris...

Selecting the PS2 ISO GAME (without the encrytion BIN.ENC) from WebMAN>Playstation2>GAME>Ps2classicplaceholder>Ps2classicplaceholder the game don't LOAD and the PS2 Classic Placeholder load Tetris...

BUT, if I select a PS2 Game (Encrypted BIN.ENC) from WebMAN>Playstation2>GAME>Ps2classicplaceholder>Ps2classicplaceholder the game works ! The sync it's OK and the Memory Card it's OK!
OBS: It still saves the game in that icon called [Saved Data Utility (PS2)].


------------------------------

Thank you very much [MENTION=118]kozarovv[/MENTION] Now I can play my PS2 games in my PS3 with no BC. :)

Some questions for everyone who want to help:

1. Is there possible to save games on INTERNAL MEMORY CARD???
1.1 If positive, how can I do that!? :(

2. Is there possible to put the VIBRATION FUNCTION to works ?

3. How can I acess the SAVE FILES from [Saved Data Utility (PS2)] ? Sometimes I want to delete some saves from games that I don't play anymore...

1. I think now isn't possible. Maybe with Cobra 7.3 But I'm not sure about that.
2. Not remember where, but i think that in in-game menu you can turn on them (or in that menu when you push PS button little longer).

About your classics, You can still run them after fast preparing (first time only) using PS2 Classic GUI on pc. This will generate different Game id and XMB icon for that game. Also this will create memory card assigned ONLY for that game. All this ready to install by PKG. :)

Thanks man!

I'll try the PS2 Classic GUI later.

Do you know how can I acess the SAVE FILES from [Saved Data Utility (PS2)] ? Sometimes I want to delete some saves from games that I don't play anymore...

I guess when I was with REBUG PS2 ISO & CLASSIC LAUNCHER the vibration funcion was working... But now isn't working anymore, even if I turn on in-game.

I think that you need to do this on PC or in game that can access other saves, or maybe some ps2 homebrew will work on PS3 like uLaunchELF, etc. Problem is because all games in iso are recognized as a PS2U10000 and because of that using that PS2U10000 memory card.

I guess when I was with REBUG PS2 ISO & CLASSIC LAUNCHER the vibration funcion was working... But now isn't working anymore, even if I turn on in-game.

It's same launcher, just with embed memory cards during pkg install. I don't know why now vibration is not working for you.

Just to update some things... :D

Right now I'm using:

Rebug 4.78.2 COBRA 7.3

And now to play PS2 games it's even more simple and better!

First off, make sure you turn ON:

*PS2 EMULATOR: COBRA
*COBRA MODE: ENABLED

**on rebug tool box.

Alright, now just enter on MultiMAN, select your PS2 ISO e run it on DISC ICON! The Virtual Memory Card are now working perfectly and the Sync aswell!!!

The one thing I'm wanted to know is why the vibration function isn't working for me :(... My DS3 is original and it's all perfect... but if isn't exist a solution for this problem, I'm OK :D

PS: [MENTION=118]kozarovv[/MENTION] I was wrong, I've tested again the REBUG PS2 ISO & CLASSIC LAUNCHER and the vibration funcion was not working, man :(
 
Just a quick question: Do we still need one time PS2 placeholder activation to avoid controller sync issues as per first post on 4.85 Rebug CFW?
