Unofficial LaunchELF releases by EP + dlanor + various contributors LaunchELF v4.42b (2012.04.13) -Updated ps2sdk and existing source files from ps2dev SVN rev 1682 to github rev 891. LaunchELF v4.42a (2010.07.11) -Added subprogram MISC/OSDSYS to launch MC-based OSDSYS kelf (as used for FMCB). For most cases the default path should work with standard FMCB installations, but it is also possible to configure a user-defined path for it, so as to experiment with multiple such kelf files on the same MC. LaunchELF v4.42 (2010.06.12) -Added kernel patcher and kernel patch as designed by jimmikaelkael to make v0 japanese consoles compatible with newer models in use of homebrews. This cures v0 problems for many other applications too (including ESR) as the kernel remains patched for the duration of a session (until next hard reset/power on). This patching is compatible with that to be added into new versions of "Open PS2 Loader" too, and includes conflict protection when multiple patchers are used. This change has no effect at all on newer consoles, but was required to make it possible to keep the homebrew MC modules in future versions of uLE, and still retain uLE compatibility to all PS2 models. LaunchELF v4.41a (2010.06.03) -Fixed a problem with uLE initialization, causing problems with the new MC drivers when used on a PS2 of very old model. This change means that 'initsbv_patches' is now called early in 'loadBasicModules', and nowhere else. -Reinstated MC drivers by jimmikaelkael, and thus FileBrowser renaming on MCs -Added corrections by jimmikaelkael to the EE_SIO debug output module of ps2sdk -added the 'sior' module to uLE with changes in "makefile", "launchelf.h", "iopmod_name.h" and "main.c" -Added 'SIO_DEBUG' flag to "launchelf.h" for use only in compiling special debug versions of uLE, that use EE_SIO interface for debug feedback instead of PS2LINK (NB: This is required for debugging with oldest models, as PS2LINK won't work...) -Remerged all of the changes described for beta v4.40j described further below LaunchELF v4.41 (2010.05.30) -Updated ps2sdk and existing source files to SVN rev 1682. -Fixed some compiler warnings with the vmcfs driver due to changes in the latest ps2sdk revision. -Removed the modified screen update delay methods, restoring previous functionality. LaunchELF v4.40j (2010.05.29) -Added libcdvd_orig folder to CSD folder, so as to provide original libcvd source now that it is no longer available for download at ps2dev.org, and edited setup.sh accordingly so as to use the local copy. -Edited VMC sources to correct hundreds of incorrect references to "vmcfs" module which is in fact named "vmc_fs". This was mainly in 'DEBUGPRINT' error messages. This also required some editing of the main uLE source files. -Changed vmc_fs from being an 'uncheckable' module to being 'checkable' (changes in "main.c" and "iopmod_name.h") -Started work on merging smbman by jimmikaelkael into uLE -SMB routines now allow successful server connection, using a test menu inside the subprogram "MISC/Debug Info". Note that the SMB functionality requires a suitable "SMB.CNF" file stored as "mc0:/SYS-CONF/SMB.CNF" LaunchELF v4.40i (2010.04.09) -Updated ps2sdk and existing source files to SVN rev 1678 and removed a previous source file as it's no longer needed. -Updated the vmcfs driver with Polo35's changes to vmc_io.c in order to possibly fix virtual memorycard corruptions. ps2ftpd new additions and changes: -Added a fix to better resolve the hard drive compatibility issue with later ps2sdk updates. LaunchELF v4.40h (2010.02.12) -Modified screen update delay methods, so as to avoid freezing in PCSX2 use due to their incomplete implementation of EE timers. -Reverted to use MCMAN and MCSERV modules from bios, as required not only for compatibility to PCSX2, but also for compatibility to v0 PS2 consoles. LaunchELF v4.40g (2010.02.09) -Updated gsKit and existing source files to SVN rev 1664. -Readapted and added a few changes back to the gsKit to resolve issues with non-interlace mode. -Fixed a compiler warning, do to a change with the newer ps2sdk, by changing the data type from "ee_thread_t" to "ee_thread_status_t" for the ReferThreadStatus prototype. LaunchELF v4.40f (2010.02.08) -Added preclearing of icon.sys struct buffer for "New Icon" command (Needed to avoid crashing Sony Browser of v0 PS2 consoles at showing such icons) -Emphasized warning of old partition destruction for HddManager Format command -Corrected gsKit coordinate rounding (for proper 'upside-down' JPG display) LaunchELF v4.40e (2010.01.26) -Modified load_ps2host function to eliminate 'stalling' of its network init, by adding a setupPowerOff() call before the load_ps2ip() call. LaunchELF v4.40d (2010.01.24) -Updated ps2sdk and existing source files to SVN rev 1663 after resolving a long-standing issue with the poweroff handler. -Fixed an issue that would have caused problems with ps2netFS and ps2ftpd network devices using newer ps2sdk versions. -Reorganized parts of the setup to build LaunchELF with newer versions of the ps2sdk. LaunchELF v4.40c (2009.10.13) -Special test version, reverting to MC drivers from bios instead of the new ones NB: This is only intended for temporary debug testing, not for wide distribution LaunchELF v4.40b (2009.09.14) ps2ftpd new additions and changes: -Forced memory card items to two, mc/0 and mc/1, in order to prevent the possible trigger of a buffer overflow noted by jimmikaelkaele for use with the new mc drivers. -Changed PFS items to only look for 4 mount points as before. This change was only made do to the earlier change of DEVICE_UNITS being set to ten for USB devices. -Fixed an issues that prevented PS1 memory cards from appearing in the listing with the new mc drivers. Now should work correctly for either driver. LaunchELF v4.40a (2009.09.13) -Modified gsGlobal usage at rez init and changes, to better follow standards -Merged EPs bugfix for FTP server's HDD mount bug, reverting it to SVN rev 371 LaunchELF v4.40 (2009.09.08) -Reimplemented 'paddata', to allow button combos independent of debounce -Merged in a new mcman module by jimmikaelkael, fixing the FTP server bug LaunchELF v4.39aa beta (2009.08.24) -Fixed a weird 'strcat' bug that used to break TextEditor 'Save As...' pathname -Suppressed FileBrowser display of garbage filesize + timestamps for ".." links -Rearranged init of pad & CDVD modules to avoid problem detecting pad mode -NB: The above fixes an old problem with pad running amok with disc-control ON LaunchELF v4.39z beta (2009.04.09) -Fixed a bug from previous beta v4.39y preventing access to MC folders having a 'hidden' attribute bit set. LaunchELF v4.39y beta (2009.04.06) -Merged in new MCMAN and MCSERV modules by jimmikaelkael -Modified FileBrowser to allow renaming of all MC file/folder objects -Fixed "DEVICE_UNITS" again, to really allow 10 USB drives/partitions in FTP LaunchELF v4.39 (2009.02.17) -Updated gsKit and existing source files to SVN rev 1470. -Upgraded USBHDFSD to SVN rev 1534 by radad. -Updated ps2ftpd and existing source files to SVN rev 587. -Changed "DEVICE_UNITS" from 4 to 10 for the newer USB driver. -Altered an old workaround to allow multiple USB devices to show up properly within FTP clients. LaunchELF v4.38 (2009.01.22) -Fixed a bug affecting two of the timeout functions changed in v4.37 -Modified CDVD tray checking for browsing to cdfs: LaunchELF v4.37 (2009.01.21) -Changed VSync-based timeouts to use Timer() instead, to eliminate PAL/NTSC variations and cure an old bug causing uncontrolled button repeats -Changed CDVD tray checking, to eliminate a case of FileBrowser freezing LaunchELF v4.36 (2009.01.19) -Fixed 'disc control' bugs in FileBrowser and JpgViewer browser -Improved recognition of disc types, displayed in main menu. ESR discs are shown as "ESR DVD (off)" if ESR driver needs to be activated to access disc contents, but as "ESR DVD (on)" if no driver activation is needed (if already running, or when used with a modchip) -Upgraded USBHDFSD of uLE to SVN rev 1516 by radad, fixing a bug in FAT16 usage LaunchELF v4.35 (2009.01.17) -Merged in the latest USBHDFSD version by radad (SVN rev 1513) to further improve compatibility LaunchELF v4.34 (2009.01.13) -Fixed some bugs that could sometimes prevent 'Left'/'Right' buttons from activating elf launches defined by user for those buttons -Changed to use fioGetstat instead of fioDopen+fioDclose to scan for USB drives -Restructured main menu event loop and centralized GUI screen redraws to it -Changed from dynamic to static font buffer allocation (as it's always needed) -Modified USBHDFSD to eliminate an irritating and unnecessary delay -Added rom0:ROMVER content to "MISC/Debug Info" screen (shows PS2 bios version) LaunchELF v4.33 (2009.01.12) -Raised a debug constant which limited v4.32 USB_mass drives to 4 instead of 10 -Added a horizontal offset to the "About uLE" display LaunchELF v4.32 (2009.01.11) -Upgraded USBHDFSD to SVN rev 1503 by radad, which cures the bug causing large-file corruption in the previous uLE release, and also adds support for multiple partitions (each accessed as a separate mass?: drive) and extends the hotplugging limits (max 5 simultaneous devices with a total of max 10 partitions). Exceeding the limits will cause no harm, but the additional devices/partitions will not be accessible. -Upgraded USBD to SVN rev 1494 by radad, making uLE "mass:" identical to that of old applications when using multiple USB drives in uLE. -Improved MISC/PS2Disc subprogram to support launch of either DVD-Video disc or ESR-patched disc (but might not recognize disc type if a modchip is active) -Added "ESR elf...
