ubergeek's Exploit Installer

[ubergeek42]

I have created a simple exploit installer program, similar in function to Independece Compilier, except the main difference is that my program runs on the PS2, while Independence Compilier runs on the PC.

Note: In order to run this program you will need either a modchip, swapdisks, or original HDLoader/HDAdvance disks.

Current features:
-Read PS1 game ID off of a disk and create TITLE.DB file from this.
-Configure network settings(IPCONFIG.DAT)
-Installs uLaunchElf 3.79 as the BOOT.ELF
-Autodetect region(PAL/NTSC, used to determine where to install)
-Should display properly on both PAL/NTSC TV's, but I can't test this.

Screenshots

known bugs:
-Some of the text displayed is a bit messed up(its the graphics libraries fault)
-The installer says success even if it didn't install because there wasn't enough space.
-Return to browser is broken when running from hdloader.

changelog:
Exploit Installer v1.0.4 - 07-14-2006
-Rewrote reading of psx id function so now it works for all disks(should anyways)
-fixed it so that it runs properly from most media
-some other bugfixes i can't remember at the moment.

Exploit Installer v1.0.3 - 07-12-2006 - Broken beyond all reason.
-added basic ip configuration page(the controls are a bit odd, but it works)
-changed confirmation before install to display summary of what it detected/what you entered.

Exploit Installer v1.0.2 - 07-10-2006
-Added very basic loading screen, its only there for about 2 seconds.
-Fixed a bug where it didn't tell the user that it couldn't read the PS1 trigger disk ID

works well (i finaly updated launchelf from 3.6x)
the only problem i see  is it wont work on a fresh card
it just freezes on the install part if no BxDATA-SYSTEM is there

Wow, cool thingy there.
Sadly I have a V12 so i cant use it

the only problem i see  is it wont work on a fresh card

that should be fixed now, as well as a few other tweaks/fixes i made(see the readme.txt file)

Great Job, ubergeek, shame I can test, but I think im gonna start a new project now.

Wish me luck, I'll tell you about it on IRC.

[ubergeek42]

new version..has basically all the features of the independence installer..except this is in elf form..i also posted up some screenshots.
the only thing mine doesn't have is ability to add more elfs..which i plan on adding in the future.

[perdition]

everytime i load it up and get to the insert a psx game for the id, it always says it fails. i try to click back and next but nothing works.
i have suikoden, and tobal no 1. My ps2 is the fat one that is modded. any ideas what can be wrong? please help

[ubergeek42]

try inserting the disk at the main menu screen, then try and procede..else, if that fails to work, i guess my program hates modchips

in that case use independence compilier v5beta, and make an installer disk.

what kind of modchip do you have?

[perdition]

"try inserting the disk at the main menu screen" ; tried that didn't work

"if that fails to work, i guess my program hates modchips"  o_O

"in that case use independence compilier v5beta, and make an installer disk" how would i make one of those heh >.<

what kind of modchip do you have?not sure all i know is that it's old probably like one of the 1st mod chips... like when i want to boot psx back ups then i would have to hold the power button on.

is there any other way i can get the exploit on? i also have ar max.

[ubergeek42]

Yeah, google for independence compilier v5 beta.
this program will also create a file that can be converted to a .max file for use with a usb drive and armax.

was the psx disk an original?

(I've really only tested the program from hdloader, since i don't have a modchip/swap disks)

[perdition]

ya, both of the psx discs are original.

you think you can attach the 1.04 file? the link for it doesn't seem to work :/
I can d/l the 1.03 file that is attached.

[ubergeek42]

whoops, forgot i had the file attached at the end...yeah 1.0.4 is there now...1.0.3 has some terrible flaws in it.

[thelegace]

Well I got this stickied cuz uber is gonna update like crazy, but good job again.
