I’ve just got hold of the latest beta of Volure’s CodeMaster and it’s looking outstanding, take a look for yourself
(click for a larger version)
As you can see you now have the choice of two front ends, the second modeled after the great program XCheatED.
Placid PS2 Dev have updated the PS2 Icon Format PDF document to v0.5
Check it out in the Documents section
Placid PS2 Dev have started the CVS for iPort and ps2lib
ps2lib: Contains sources aswell as LaTeX documentation
iPort: Objective-C sources for the OSX project
iPort is not yet fully functional, you can load icons and view them but USB support has not been implemented yet
Great stuff, keep up the good work
I’ve been a bit busy over the last week so a few updates fell at the wayside, these have now been put online
Firstly a PS2 YABASIC File psu file format document by P.I.Nicholson has been addded as well as a breakdown of the Code Save structure by NOVICE, check them out in the documents section
(perhaps I’ll get chance to make a quick guide to save hacking soon..)
The Get_Type code example in the Visual Basic Code section has been updated for more compatability and clarity with suggestions by DCLXVI 29a and may be updated some more after I try out his other suggestion.
You’ll notice a link to the Forum has been added, this is not the same forum as the beta test forum. Feel free to ask about general save/device/software advice there
Save Slicer Beta 2 is nearly ready, this time featuring full conversion to nPort format. Incidently I was using the wrong command flag in BETA 1, use a instead of -a
Update Check is down…
Well my access to the server that controls Update Check is, until further notice you will not be able to accurately check for new versions of programs from PS2 Save Tools, this will be addressed in future updates though, starting with Save Slicer Beta 2
I’ve added the documents section to the website and there’s no better way than to start than with an excellent PDF guide to the PS2 icon format by Martin Åkesson. I’ll be adding a great document on the Action Replay 2/GameShark2 code save format by NOVICE in a few days.
I’ve also added a new downloads section, PS2 Save Development, here you will find some useful stuff, starting with Martin Åkesson’s great C library for icons, you can use this to help create your own programs in C for dealing with PS2 save icons
I might change the site around a little to accomodate these great new additions, but we’ll have to see how succesfull I am
If you have anything to contribute to these new sections, or indeed any part of the site, please don’t hesitate to get in touch
nPort is a save transferring program designed for use with Naplink
Made by WiRe of Napalm, nPort allows anyone with a chipped PS2, a copy of Naplink and a pl2301 USB cable to transfer saves to and from their PC/PS2. This is BETA software, if you want to give it a go head on over to wiRe’s page
I’ve just fitted a new hard drive to the PC so I can do DV editing, due to this I have reorganised my system layout and reinstalled Windows. I have not got round to installing any development software yet so there will be no program updates until I get organised again
