Partitioning HDD

Playstation 2 use PFS filesystem. You could use pfsshell on PC. pfsshell's author advises you to not use it as root.

# chown myuser /dev/sdb

$ pfsshell 
pfsshell for POSIX systems
https://github.com/uyjulian/pfsshell

This program uses pfs, apa, iomanX, 
code from ps2sdk (https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2sdk)

Type "help" for a list of commands.

> device /dev/sdb
hdd: PS2 APA Driver v2.5 (c) 2003 Vector
hdd: max open = 1, 3 buffers
hdd: 07:13:40 02/03/2020
hdd: disk0: 0x06fccf2f sectors, max 0x00200000

0x0100   256MB __system
0x0100   512MB __sysconf
0x0100  1024MB __common

install FHDB (Free HDBoot)

Alternatively you could simply use an image disc with dd ( as windows people use HDDGURU: HDD Raw Copy Tool) , for example FHDB image disc ( like https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/download/file.php?id=12450 ) , that way you can use homebrews too :

dd if=FHDB.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress

FHDB is slower than FMCB but you can use it to install FMCB.

Install games

Use hdl_dump ( TODO).

Samba

works fine - example soon.

FTP transfer

A very slow solution ( ~ 500KB/s ).

  • PC side (client) :

PS2 doesn't support TLS, use plain FTP. (tested with filezilla)

  • PS2 side (server) :

Launch ps2net. You need to activate hdd (exploring it in uLaunchELF for example) before ps2net to share it.
