Download Ps2 Pfs Explorer

Yeah, with PFS Explorer. But you can't write, just read and copy data. Moreover, PS2 HDD has a specials commands in his firmware. You are able to use any hdd to run app from HD Loader, but for playing online games you must have a hard drive with custom maxtor/sony firmware.

Click to expand.My PS2 is modded with Matrix Infinity and a 80GB Samsung HD. All i need to do was to enter the modchip settings menu and enable the Auto ATAD Patching mode.

Then with the HDD Utility Disc 1.10, i formatted and installed the Browser 2.0. The PS2 recognizes the HDD on startup (yellow led blinks beside the controller ports) and the browser 2.0 is loaded. This way the HDD shows up on the PS2 browser and i can backup PS1 and PS2 saves and use the options for games with official HDD option (example: RE Outbreak File 1 and 2 install, ESPN NBA2K5 install, Socom 2 extra maps.). Of course i can only use those stuff offline. To play online, i have to turn off the modchip, thus not making the HDD visible. Plus all HDLoader games installed show up, but you can't load them from there.

Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. Of the 10 FGDs, 3 each comprised men and women who were 35 years or older and 2 each included men and women who were between 18 and 34 years of age. PhD 4, Norma. Fgds zaklyuchenie norma.

People mentioned my name here. Let me say what I know about this stuff. First, it's a well known fact that SONY HDDs use customized firmware.

I have seen HDDs from the following families: Maxtor 4D040H2 ('Romulus' DSP family) Commercial name is 'Diamond MAX' This drive I know fairly well. Few years ago I was able to extract it's firmware, locate DNAS authentication data and match it with the S/N sticker. Quantum/Maxtor 2F04L07103 with POKER D8 CPU Seagate ST340015A (low profile model) Seagate ST340823A, some 40GB model from U5 series (of the kind that comes with the rubber jacket) Actually this is the earliest model of HDD. Heard comments of this drive being quite noisy. I happen to own one of each model of drives with the only exception being the U5 Seagate. The custom firmware has ATA commands specific to SCEI which pertain to software security and drive authentication. Non DNAS titles (games that install data but still require the disc to boot) should run fine on hard disks without custom firmware as long the ATAD IRX module is patched properly.

So will work the browser with just that patching. Hence the utility disc working fine with an ATAD compatible modchip. Final Fantasy XI uses DNAS and secure PFS. The only way I could extract files from it was with a RAW FS dump and a lot of 'forensics' analysis.

Putting files back in is out of question, sadly. If anyone is interested, a full dump of *all* 167 FFXI songs as of the lattest update (april 2009) can be found here: Songs have no tags and are numbered as the game reads them.

By the way, the PFS look similar to linux filesystems. I suspect it's based on Reiser FS, but again I'm not a software guy. If anyone here deals with data recovery and knows about these russian data recovery software tools such as PC3000 and similar software (HDD firmware tools) and wish to lend a hand on figuring out how these drives work I'm up for helping. Assembler, the APA partition system is based on the concept of an unlimited number of partitions with minimal granularity of 128MB. What I have seen is they create small (128, 256 or 512 MB) partitions for small games/programs or create multiple 1024MB blocks and a smaller last block then bind them together on a single file system. The PSF filesystem sits in a higher layer of the software and is driven by it's own driver which in turns sits atop of the APA/ATAD drivers. For example, Final Fantasy XI uses eight blocks of 1GB.

Now regarding the drives contents, a way for you to get a listing is hook it up on a PC and run the command line application 'HDLDUMP' with the following parameters: c: > Virtual drive 701 free download full. hdl_dump query queries all existing hard drives and scans for APA formatted hard drives. Even drives mounted on *removable* enclosures will be detected and used as long APA formatted. C: > hdl_dump toc type exactly as shown on the result of the query command. For example 'hdd3:' That tool was made specifically for HDL games but it works quite well for giving you a list of what is on the hard disk or even for 'un-delete' of APA/PSF partitions. It works on partition levels.

It won't allow you to see what's inside of the partitions but at least it will list where each partition starts/ends. That helps if you feel like trying advanced forensic stuff such as data carving. When I said that PSF looks like reiser FS I meant it looks like such, not that it's identical.

I don't think they would just pick a open source FS implementation and use as it is considering how they like the concept of 'security by obscurity' lol. P.S.: Since recovery tools saw no contents on the drives in question there's two possibilities: They're APA formatted (PS2 native format) and the recovery tools you tried tools did not like it.
