Looking for good Crystal Chip information

[bootlegninja]

Well, I've searched in about as many search engines as I could find, and haven't turned up any info on what I need. I plan on compiling a Crystal Chip Guide of sorts for this site since we are gaining a few more new users with that chip. One of my set backs is that I don't own one of those chips so I can't experiment and figure out on my own how the features of that chip work.

Also the CC Wiki seems to be either down or gone. But anyways, any info (preferably with links, but I'll take the info any way I can) will be appreciated. If you provide the info you will be credited for it.

Good idea and good luck. I dont know much about them myself.

thanks bro,

hopefully someone with a cc will see this and fill in the blanks for me. Maybe I'll add the link to this in my sig so that It'll get more attention. I can't see leaving other chip users out even though i don't own a cc.

Here's some requested information. I'll start with the install scripts for the CC:

SMS(Simple Media Player):

The APPINFO.PBT file should have the following information exactly:

#
# Application Manager Script for BootManager 2
#

# Change this information to describe the application.
SET "TITLE" "SMS"
SET "VERSION" "v 2.1 rev2"
SET "AUTHOR" "EEUG"
SET "DESC" "SMS or Simple Media System allows you to play your favorite Divx Movies on your PS2."
SET "MEDIAS" "SMS"
#

GOTO "$ARG1$"

:LABEL_NAME
ADDWIDGET "LABEL" "$ARG2$$TITLE$ v$VERSION$"
EXIT 0

:QUERY
ADDWIDGET "CALL" "$TITLE$" "$BM.TXT_VERSION$: $VERSION$ $BM.TXT_AUTHOR$: $AUTHOR$ $BM.TXT_DESC$: $DESC$" $ARG2$ "$ARG0$" "$ARG3$" "$ARG4$" "$ARG5$"
EXIT "0"

:INSTALL
IF FAIL COPY "$PWD$" "$ARG2$:/BM/APPS/SMS"
MESSAGE "Failed installing $TITLE$!"
RRM "$ARG2$:/BM/APPS/SMS"
RETURN -1
ENDIF
EXIT 0

:REMOVE
IF FAIL RRM "$PWD$"
MESSAGE "Failed removing $TITLE$!"
RETURN -1
ENDIF
EXIT 0

:RUN
SHUTDOWN "MM"
LOADEXEC "PBAT" "$BM.SCRIPTS$/LOADEXEC.PBT" "$PWD$/SMS.ELF"
EXIT "0"


ULE(Launchelf):

The APPINFO.PBT should have the following information exactly:

#
# Application Manager Script for BootManager 2
#

# Change this information to describe the application.
SET "TITLE" "ULaunchELF"
SET "VERSION" "v 4.12"
SET "AUTHOR" "EP, Dlanor"
SET "DESC" "ULaunchELF is another popular dashboard replacement for the PS2."
SET "MEDIAS" ""
#

GOTO "$ARG1$"

:LABEL_NAME
ADDWIDGET "LABEL" "$ARG2$$TITLE$ v$VERSION$"
EXIT 0

:QUERY
ADDWIDGET "CALL" "$TITLE$" "$BM.TXT_VERSION$: $VERSION$ $BM.TXT_AUTHOR$: $AUTHOR$ $BM.TXT_DESC$: $DESC$" $ARG2$ "$ARG0$" "$ARG3$" "$ARG4$" "$ARG5$"
EXIT "0"

:INSTALL
IF FAIL COPY "$PWD$" "$ARG2$:/BM/APPS/ULELF"
MESSAGE "Failed installing $TITLE$!"
RRM "$ARG2$:/BM/APPS/ULELF"
RETURN -1
ENDIF
EXIT 0

:REMOVE
IF FAIL RRM "$PWD$"
MESSAGE "Failed removing $TITLE$!"
RETURN -1
ENDIF
EXIT 0

:RUN
SHUTDOWN "MM"
LOADEXEC "PBAT" "$BM.SCRIPTS$/LOADEXEC.PBT" "$PWD$/ULELF.ELF"
EXIT "0"

HDL(HD Loader):

The APPINFO.PBT file should have the following script exactly:

# BootManager 2 Application Manager Script for HDLoader

# Change this information to describe the application.
SET "TITLE" "HDLoader"
SET "VERSION" "0.8b"
SET "AUTHOR" "Sjeep"
SET "DESC" "HDloader allows you to run full games from any internal hard drive."
SET "MEDIAS" ""
#

IF NOT EXISTS "$PWD$/HDLOADER.ELF"
RETURN "-1"
ENDIF

# Do not change these 2 lines!
GOTO "$ARG1$"
RETURN "-1"

:LABEL_NAME
ADDWIDGET "LABEL" "$ARG2$$TITLE$ v$VERSION$"
EXIT "0"

:QUERY
ADDWIDGET "CALL" "$TITLE$" "$BM.TXT_VERSION$: $VERSION$ $BM.TXT_AUTHOR$: $AUTHOR$ $BM.TXT_DESC$: $DESC$" $ARG2$ "$ARG0$" "$ARG3$" "$ARG4$" "$ARG5$"
EXIT "0"

:INSTALL
IF FAIL COPY "$PWD$" "$ARG2$:/BM/APPS/HDLOADER"
MESSAGE "Failed installing $TITLE$!"
RRM "$ARG2$:/BM/APPS/HDLOADER"
RETURN -1
ENDIF
EXIT 0

:REMOVE
IF FAIL RRM "$PWD$"
MESSAGE "Failed removing $TITLE$!"
RETURN -1
ENDIF
EXIT 0

:RUN
LOADEXEC "PBAT" "$BM.SCRIPTS$/LOADEXEC.PBT" "$PWD$/HDLOADER.ELF"
EXIT "0"

Keep in mind here that there HAS to be a blank space at the bottom of each install script. These should work with the latest SMS(SMS 2.1, rev2),ULE(4.12),& any HDL. Some have reported problems with HDL but 0.8b patched should work. I had initial problems with HDL from MC but got it working again. Also, you need to change the version number for whatever application that's being installed in the scripts. Thanks guys! If you need any more scripts bootlegninja or any other type information then feel free to request here in this thread or via PM again! Thanks again!

Thanks bro, I'll add it in a little bit.

Edit - after taking a look at the scripts, wow, very cryptic. I'm glad I have my matrix.

Yeah! I also have a MI that I use as a backup! However, I actually like the CC better as a modchip overall. There is just so many great features with the CC. I have my MI in a spare room but just don't use that console much anymore. I also have a HDD in that console but it just doesn't get much use nowadays. Thanks!

[bootlegninja]

I won't argue that the cc is a good chip. I just prefer mine nice and simple. The more simple it is the less complications.

Yeah! The MI is certainly easier to handle than the CC! I'll back you on that for sure! Thanks!
