View Full Version : Booting a PS2 disc on a TOOL (DTL-T10000)

Hi,

Does anyone know for sure how to boot a PS2 disc on a TOOL (retail version and/or beta/preview version)?

The documentation is pretty confusing. You can boot a disc in either development mode or test mode.

In the CD/DVD start guide it says:


How can I boot a CD/DVD on a TOOL?
If you are using Runtime libraries version 2.4 or above (I am using 3.0) this functionality is built into 'dsreset' (the Linux command line tool used to reset the development kit). Use the command line:

dsreset 0x2 0x1A0


But, in the diskboot pdf file titled "disk startup on the DTL-T10000" theres a pretty longwinded version that takes 4 steps. Basically you can set the dev or test mode and then the flash memory size. in test mode it does not have to match the library version on the disc.
In the section where it tells you how to return the TOOL to original mode it says:


As a simpler method, you can execute the following application from the startup disk by inserting it into the DTL-T10000 and executing the following command:

$ dsreset 2 100 (8MB test mode)


Does anyone know which one I use or could tell me in "idiot steps" as to how I do it.

I don't really want to break it......

dsreset 2 ox1a0 will work. (Thought it was psreset though?)


I assume you have a PC set up on the same network node as the TOOL. If it's running linux and you have the devtools installed then run the above command and it should work.

If you're running windows, get a copy of Cygwin and run it from there.

If you have ProDG, use go to the target manager and change the boot parameters to 2 (IOP) and 0x1A0 (EE).

instructions definitely say dsreset....

Dev PC is Win XP Pro and it is connected to the TOOL via a 100Mbps network. Once I have logged into the TOOL do I type 'dsreset 2 ox1a0 ' or do I do it from PC via Telnet?

What is Cygwin and how does that work? I don't have PRODG :-(

Anyone have a copy they don't want ??

What Is Cygwin?

Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows.
It consists of two parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.

The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE.

In a nutshell, Cygwin is a program that allows you to run some linux command line tools under Windows. Get it from http://www.cygwin.com/.

You will type your commands into the Cygwin command window.

I never used the linux tools myself so I can't remember how you connect to the Tool. You probably need to run a command like dsconnect [ip addr]. If you have the docs, it should tell you in there.

Apparently, it is dsreset btw.

Can someone also tell me what operating modes I should be in too? Thanks.

You should only use TOOL mode unless you are trying to recover from an error.

no - I was in WS (workstation) mode and (DVD) mode. Is EMU mode the DTL-T14000 installed in it?
