Needed:

• CdGenPs2 3.0;
• The program (.elf) to run on the Playstation 2. I will use the dms team's hdd dump for this tutorial;
• Windows Notepad;
• Software for CD burning as Nero;

Method:

First unzip the program files, in any directory, then open Cdgenps2 and windows notepad.

In Notepad enter these codes:

BOOT2 = cdrom0: \ progname .ELF; 1 
VER = 1.00 
VMODE = PAL / NTSC

Replace "progname" with the name of the program you want to cd, in my case I'll insert

BOOT2 = cdrom0: \ HDDDUMP.ELF; 1 
VER = 1.00 
VMODE = PAL / NTSC

and save the file as SYSTEM.

At this point drag the newly created SYSTEM.txt file and the elf file of the HDDDUMP.ELF prog (in my case) into the CdGenPs2, then right-click on the SYSTEM.txt file in the cdgenps2 screen and select the Edit item.

In the new window correct the name by removing the extension .txt and putting .CNF, put the check mark on fix lba and write in the text box that activates 12231; Finally click on OK.

Go back to the cdgenps2 main screen; here you can see the contents of the cd, and in the right column you should have the SYSTEM.CNF and HDDDUMP.ELF files. Go to file, select save image, enter a name and press save.

After the process you have created the image file ready to be written to a cd with nero or another prog at a very low speed. (Use 4x speed if possible)

Now Start the cd you just created in your Ps2 and you will have the desired program !!!!!
