PS2Link is a 'bootloader' which, used together with an Ethernet driver and a TCP/IP stack, enables you to download and execute software on your PS2.

It is designed to run from memory card, cdrom or host drives.

It loads all IRX's at startup and IPCONFIG.DAT for the network settings. The IRX's and the IPCONFIG.DAT should be in the directory which PS2LINK is loaded from.

Required modules

PS2Link requires the following IRX modules:

PS2LINK.IRX               from: ps2link
PS2DEV9.IRX                     ps2sdk
PS2IP-NM.IRX                    ps2sdk
NETMAN.IRX                      ps2sdk
SMAP.IRX                        ps2sdk
IOPTRAP.IRX                     ps2sdk
POWEROFF.IRX                    ps2sdk
UDPTTY.IRX                      ps2sdk

Compilation

Building ps2link just requires project PS2SDK.

For building against ps2sdk make sure PS2SDK is set to your ps2sdk release dir.

make clean all

NOTES + WARNINGS: IPCONFIG.DAT FILENAME SHOULD BE UPPERCASE.

IPCONFIG.DAT uses the following format: PS2IPADDRESS NETMASK GATEWAYIP seperated by a single space.

ps2link's Issues

How do you send a udp/tcp packet to your pc with ps2dev?

reset issue with packed elf

tested elf : https://github.com/bignaux/helloworld

unpacked elf : reset works, cmdline is empty.
ps2client execee host:helloworld-UNC.elf
log :

[helloworld]    version: 403bd93
[helloworld]    cmdline: 
1..5
not ok 1 - running from ps2link
#   Failed test 'running from ps2link'
at helloworld.c line 55.
#          got: '(null)'
#     expected: 'host:helloworld.elf'

packed elf : reset doesn't work, cmdline is fine
ps2client execee host:helloworld.elf

[helloworld]    version: 403bd93
[helloworld]    cmdline: host:helloworld.elf

[helloworld]    Hello, World fr00000m helloworld v.403bd93 !

a bit duplicate of ps2dev/ps2client#4 but want to have it there.

ps2link crashes with EE exception after starting up

I recently built the latest from master of the toolchain, ps2eth and ps2link and found out that an EE exception happens during or after initialization of ps2link.

Exception details: TLB load/inst fetch exception, cause 10008008 BadAddr 3A0D2BE8, status 70030C13, EPC 88188.

Under the guidance of https://github.com/fjtrujy I tried to troubleshoot it and to find out the breaking change but not successful.

We found that the ps2link built as artifact of CI 17 (https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2link/actions/runs/477067363) still works but the one from CI 18 (https://github.com/fjtrujy/ps2link/actions/runs/653975338) crashes.

I reverted locally the change that was done in between (ps2dev/ps2sdk#164) but that didn't made any difference. Also, I tried to revert locally the upgrade newlib to 4.1.0 (https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2toolchain-ee/blob/main/scripts/003-newlib.sh#L7) but 4.0.0 gave the same exception again (I tried all the possibilities of combining the two changes).

EE exception occurs no matter what executable I use

I had v1.2 pre-built and it worked fine. I decided to build ps2link myself, and for every executable I try to upload, I get CPU exceptions (seems to vary from executable to executable).

The "cause" is 70008010.

1. I run PS2LINK.ELF from mc1
2. I've tried executables that worked with v1.2
3. I've built vanilla (no Makefile options changed)
4. I've built with the following:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

PS2link fail build if use other $LANG than C

hi

i have weird behavior

if make ps2link with my locale (LANG=es_ES.UTF-8), fail build with this message:

http://sl1pkn07.no-ip.com/paste/view/e741f715

but if use LANG=C, buildl OK

http://sl1pkn07.no-ip.com/paste/view/bba5307b

what happen?

greetings

ps2link port number(s) and type (UDP/TCP)

Hi, what port number does ps2link listen on and what type of traffic is it (UDP/TCP)?
I need to create some port translations but cannot find the port information anywhere.
Thanks :)

ps2link not responding at all

ps2link is not responding to ps2client at all

I have the ip set to 192.168.0.11 in the IPCONFIG

on my linux system I have the ipv4 address set to the ip above, default subnetmask and default gateway (same goes for inside IPCONFIG)

ps2link seems to return that it succeeded (ps2client exists the program gracefully.)

here are screenshots of stuff:

the distro of debian i am using is Linux Mint Cinnamon

Edit:

I've also tried recompiling & reinstalling ps2sdk as well, nothing fixed it still.
