About LaunchElf (via sp193) Latest Changelogs

  • LaunchELF is a file manager program for the PlayStation 2.​

    The original LaunchELF project was by Mirakichi, who worked on versions prior to v3.41.
    After     Mirakichi stopped working on LaunchELF, E P and dlanor worked on unofficial LaunchELF (uLaunchELF) up to v4.42d. Due to real-life commitments, both E P and dlanor have been on a hiatus for quite a few years. Double-unofficial LaunchELF (wLaunchELF) is a new project by AKuHAK and SP193 that continues to bring new updates to our favourite file manager to the PlayStation 2.​

    The first stable release is slated to be LaunchELF v4.50, to mark the start of a new line of builds. As of today, we are still updating and fixing LaunchELF, so we will appreciate constructive comments and feedback about the quality and functionality of LaunchELF.

    W    hile E P and dlanor have not officially declared that they won't be ever coming back to continue work on uLaunchELF, I have decided to create a new thread in order to avoid cluttering their thread with posts regarding new bugs that are caused by the (rather invasive) work on the code.    ​

Wow just may pull out my PS2 as I have a 2tb 2.5" HDD laying around since I upgraded my PS4 to a larger SSHD and I found my PS2HDMI adapter. @sp193 & company I know I for one admire your dedication to the PS2 scene.

Here is wLe topic:

To load skin in wLe try:
MISC/Configure/Screen Settings/Load Skin CNF...

To adjust settings try:
