BDM Assault

BDM Assault is a homebrew project for PS2 that aims to bring EXFAT USB support to those old closed source homebrew apps that can load external USB drivers that people still use today (POPStarter, FreeMcBoot).

Usage

To use this project you have to place the two IRX binaries provided at the release section into the path that your app looks for

POPStarter

• bdm_assault.irx must be pasted into mc?:/POPSTARTER/usbd.irx
• usbd_bd_assault.irx must be pasted into mc?:/POPSTARTER/usbhdfsd.irx

FreeMcBoot

• bdm_assault.irx must be pasted into mc?:/SYS-CONF/USBD.IRX
• usbd_bd_assault.irx must be pasted into mc?:/SYS-CONF/USBHDFSD.IRX

FreeHdBoot

• bdm_assault.irx must be pasted into hdd0:__sysconf/FMCB/USBD.IRX
• usbd_bd_assault.irx must be pasted into hdd0:__sysconf/FMCB/USBHDFSD.IRX

old wLaunchELF versions

• bdm_assault.irx must be pasted into the path you configured for USBD.IRX
• usbd_bd_assault.irx must be pasted into the path you configured for USBHDFSD.IRX

Any other homebrew

• find out by yourself. I cant remember any other.

Incompatible programs

• Simple Media System (SMS): incompatible due to usage of custom USB drivers and practices wich are not common amongst the homebrew devs. support not planned (and most likely not even possible)
