nPort Index Generator update
A bug fixed version of nPort Index Generator is available, grab it today 🙂
Naplink, now directly bootable from the exploit.
mrbrown discovered that Napalm had created a new version of Naplink that is able to boot from the memory card and requires no extra files or loaders. He had this to say:
“A lot of folk have been asking about how to use Napalm’s Naplink loader software with the Independance exploit. They’ve semi-released (semi as I haven’t seen any official mention of it from Napalm) an updated version of Naplink that can load independantly of memory card or CD-ROM. It’s shipped as a single ELF that can be used directly as BOOT.ELF with the exploit. I’ve ripped this version from the DMS HDD Explorer ISO and put it up here”
Download Naplink 1.0.1.a from our download section.
To use it with the Independence Exploit rename naplink.elf to BOOT.ELF and use it to replace the previous boot.elf loader.
Thanks to the anonymous source who submitted the information, the patch files also included are being investigated and their legal merit assessed
.psu format update
Just a quick update on the .psu file format from acid-jazz:
“The 16th and 17th byte of the header is the start sector address to write the file content to. It appears that the Memory Card might be formatted as a FAT12 file system or at least something inspired by FAT12.”
It also seems that he is working on a new utility, more news as we get it 🙂
Spring clean finished
I’ve removed dead links and dud info from the site as well as adding new information into the FAQ section 🙂
.PSU format docs and XPSTool gui
You can find acid-jazz’s breakdown of the .psu save format here, it’s not fully complete and if you can add to it get in touch 🙂
Also added today its a plugin for Total Commander that allows you to browse Xport/Sharkport v2 saves as if they were folders, download it here
Note: This plugin requires and is packaged with XPSTool as it is essentially a gui for the interface 🙂
I’ll be weeding out old information over the weekend and updating the FAQ accordingly with new information such as:
The Action Replay 2.35 released in Europe and the UK is fully capable of restoring GTA3 and GTA:VC saves, use this disc if you do not have or cannot obtain an Xport v2.23
No responce to contact form?
I’m back on the net at last, my connection is flakey and requires an engineer called out to fix it but I’m able to update the site at least (once I pay for some more space that is, whilst I was disconnected we reached and then exceeded our server limit)
Not had a responce from an email or query sent via the contact us page? Please get in contact again, a lot of email has fallen by the wayside during my absence, if you still need assistance or answers feel free to drop me a line 🙂
Forthcoming updates:
acid-jazz’s .psu format documentation
A gui by Slv for XPSTool
FAQ updates
Misc updates on the site (removal of dead links/info etc)
Download software via the Network Adapter
Utilising the PS2 Independence Exploit a new system called Send0r has been created where you can download homebrew software via the Network Adapter and an unmodded PS2.
For more details check out www.send0r.com, if they haven’t uploaded some Xport files by Monday I will get some sorted and uploaded. I’ll cover this in more depth when I get a chance to try it out.
I think I should go on Holiday or loose my net connection more often, all the interesting developments happen when I’m not around to witness them 😉
Delay in site updates
Due to moving I am currently without internet access and cannot readily update the site, this will be addressed soon and updates will happen with more regularity including an interesting article from acid-jazz covering the EMS Memory Adapter format
Off topic…
Very much off topic this…
Got the EMS GC memory adapter and are looking to share and dowload saves? Pop on over to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ngcfs/ and tell ’em we sent you
