Detailed Feature Overview
=========================
-> ToxicOS
When booting into ToxicOS you will be presented with the main menu which
lets you navigate through the various sections of ToxicOS.
* Load Disk - selecting this will load the disc currently inserted in
the CDVD drive. This can be a PS2 game, PSX game or DVD
movie.
* HDD Games - selecting this will bring you to the HDD game menu, as
described in more detail below.
* Select Cheats - Currently not available, but in a future release will
take you to the cheat code menu.
* Settings - Takes you to the settings screen where the various
settings relating to both the OS and BIOS software
can be manipulated.
You can boot into ToxicOS either by holding down R1 while the console
is booting or setting the default boot mode to "ToxicOS".
-> Run games from the HDD!
Using ToxicOS you can install and run games directly from an IDE HDD
connected to your PS2. To do this, navigate to the 'HDD games" screen
from the main menu. From here you can:
a) Play games already installed on your HDD
b) Install a new game to your HDD
c) Remove a game from your HDD
d) Rename a game on your HDD
e) View information for a specific game and change game settings
f) Return to the main menu
At the main screen either the game list or toolbar is in focus at any one
time. You can alternate focus with the LEFT and RIGHT buttons on the D-pad.
When the game list is in focus the key mapping is as follows:
UP/DOWN - Select game
CROSS - Start playing the selected game
TRIANGLE - View info/settings for selected game
L1 - Scroll page up
R1 - Scroll page down
When the toolbar is in focus, use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to select an
action and CROSS to choose that action. If you select install you will
be taken to the installation screen. Here you will be asked to insert a
CD or DVD and then enter a name for the game using the onscreen keyboard.
While at the onscreen keyboard the key mapping is as follows:
D-pad - Move selection
CROSS - Make selection
START - Shortcut for ENTER key
CIRCLE - Shortcut for CANCEL key
L1 - Move cursor left
R1 - Move cursor right
L2 - Shortcut for BACKSPACE key
R2 - Shortcut for SHIFT key
Enter the name of the game then select ENTER to continue. Now the game
will be installed to the HDD - and this can take a while, so be patient :)
The rename and remove options in the toolbar are self-explanatory so no
need to cover them here. The settings option will bring up the game info/
settings dialog. From here you can see game information and change the
compatibility mode settings. Some games require special compatibility modes
to be set in order for those games to work correctly. More information
regarding these compatibility modes will be made available shortly.
-> DVD+R dual layer media support
Until now it has been impossible to play DVD9 games backed up onto dual
layer media on the PS2 due to a problem with reading from the second layer
because the data format on burnt DL discs is different than on pressed
discs (burnt = OTP, pressed = PTP). However, we have discovered a software
hack which enables the PS2 to read even burnt OTP discs meaning it is now
possible to make backups of dual layer games such as GT4. ToxicOS includes
an "auto-patching" mechanism which applies this patch on the fly. The
auto-patcher is disabled by default, to enable set "DVD+R DL Support" in
the settings menu.
NOTE: Unfortunately due to software restrictions the auto-patching will
not work if you boot your DL backup from the updated Sony browser
stored on the HDD. If you are using the updated browser then in
order to play your DL backups you must boot them either with
fastboot or from inside ToxicOS ("Launch Disc" from main menu). If
you are not using the browser update then there are no limitations
regarding how you can boot DL backups.
-> 48-bit HDD support
ToxicOS has now broken the 28-bit barrier, making it possible to fully
utilise HDD's with their capacity larger than 128GB. If you are using such
a HDD you also have the option of using the Toxic Extened APA partition
format on your HDD which has many advantages over the standard APA
partition format, used by all other current PS2 HDD aplications (ie: homebrew
software).
MAKE SURE that you read the section relating to the two different partition
formats below since it contains some VERY IMPORTANT information, especially
relevant to those who wish to use homebrew software with "48-bit HDD support".
-> V12 IDE HDD support
With the release of schematics by "automan" it has become possible to connect
a standard IDE HDD to the V12 "pstwo" however all the current HDD
applications have problems, forcing you to re-format the drive on each boot.
ToxicOS has overcome this limitation and offers full V12 HDD support for
those that are daring enough to wire up the IDE interface ;)
-> Dev.olution mode
Using Dev.olution mode you can boot applications from either the memory
card or hard disk drive. When booting in MC Dev.olution mode, the ELF file
"mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF" is launched. This ELF file can be anything you want,
such as DMS Explorer, PS2Menu, PS2OS etc. To boot in MC Dev.olution mode
either hold down TRIANGLE on controller 1 while the PS2 is booting, or
set default boot mode to MC Dev.olution in the configuration menu. Currently
the only application which can be launched with HDD Dev.olution mode is
DMS HDD Explorer. Once HDD Explorer is installed, you may boot in HDD
Dev.olution mode by either holding down START on controller 1 while the PS2
is booting, or set default boot mode to HDD Dev.olution in the configuration
menu.
NOTE: From ToxicOS v0.2 and up you must use DMS HDD Explorer v1.3 or
greater. Older versions are no longer supported.
-> ATAD auto-patching
When ATAD auto-patching is enabled, you can connect a non-Sony HDD to your
PS2 and use it as though it was an official Sony drive. You will be able
to install and use the HDD browser update (found on the HDD utility disc) on
a non-Sony HDD, and you will be able to partially install some games with
HDD support to improve performance.. even though this is a bit pointless
with the existence of ToxicOS ;)
-> Fast boot mode
Fast boot mode allows you to skip the redundant "swirling electrons" and
various logo screens and directly load your PS2/PSX game or DVD movie as
soon as you turn on the console, saving valuable time which would be better
spent gaming. To use fast boot mode, either hold down SELECT while the PS2
is booting or set default boot mode to fast boot in the configuration menu.
-> Default boot mode
Using the configuration menu you can set the default boot mode to one of the
following: Normal, ToxicOS, Fast Boot, MC Dev.olution, HDD Dev.olution. If
you do not manually specify a boot mode while the PS2 is booting by holding
down a button on controller 1, the default boot mode will be used. For
example if the default boot mode is set to MC Dev.olution, when you turn on
the PS2 without holding down any buttons on the controller, your MC Dev.olution
application will be loaded from the memory card. If you then wish to boot
normally (i.e.: boot through standard browser) hold down CROSS on controller
1 while booting to over-ride the default boot mode.
-> Playstation 2 game video fix
There are 4 different modes for the PS2 video MODE fix, as described below:
- Colour Carrier: The colour carrier of the video signal is changed to
match the region of your console.
- Force PAL: Video mode forced to PAL (50hz), regardless of what video mode
games try to set.
- Force NTSC: Video mode forced to NTSC (60hz), regardless of what video
mode games try to set.
- Force PAL60: Video mode forced to PAL60, which is 60hz with PAL colour
carrier.
In addition to the PS2 video MODE fix, you can also enable the PS2 video
Y-POS fix. The y-position fix is used in conjunction with the PS2 video
MODE fix in order to correct the vertical position of the display. For
example, simply focing PAL when a NTSC game is running will generally result
in the display being far off center. The y-position fix corrects this and
centers the display. Please note that the y-position fix is not available
when the PS2 video MODE fix is off or set to Color Carrier, since in these
cases the video mode is not forced so the display position will not need
to be corrected. Please note that the y-position fix feature should still
be considered EXPERIMENTAL and has been known to cause problems with a few
games. If a game isnt working, disable the y-position fix and see if this
helps.
You can configure the PS2 video MODE and PS2 video Y-POS fixes in the
configuration menu.
-> Settings Menu
The configuration menu is used to manipulate various ToxicOS settings, for
example enabling or disabling ATAD auto-patching. The configuration menu also
displays useful information about your PS2 system and DMS4 modchip. To enter
the settings menu, boot into ToxicOS then at the main menu select "Settings".
-> Disable Mode
When playing online games it is often necessary to disable the modchip so you
do not get a DNAS error while connecting to the online game server. To
disable DMS4, hold down L1 on controller 1 as the PS2 is booting. You will
see a message saying that the modchip has been disabled. Insert your game and
reset the console - the modchip will not be disabled and will stay disabled
until the PS2 is placed in standby.
-> Codebreaker cheat device support
The more recent codebreaker cheat devices include a protection system which
is designed to detect the presence of modchips and prevent the application
from working on a modified system. ToxicOS bypasses this protection and
allows codebreaker to work properly, however you must first set
"Auto Tray Eject" to OFF in the options menu. |
