Gentoo PS2 - Trac edit / delete

"This project aims to develop the GentooLinux distribution for the Sony PlayStation 2 platform." Defunct since 2009 or so, but there's lots of useful information here on the state of play for updated Linux ports around then.

How to install games on a PS2 hard disk. This dates from before FreeMc/HDBoot, so the first few steps should be much easier now.

PS2Linuxをいじる edit / delete

If I could read Japanese, this would be a very helpful reference for early PS2 Linux and PS2 Homebrew stuff. It's fairly useful even if you're just looking at screenshots and chasing links (because most of the things it links to are in English).

Marcus R. Brown's site on PS2 homebrew, now defunct, but with some useful information: how to add a serial port, how to patch the Linux abstraction layer so you can use the whole of a memory card, and the details of the "Independence Exploit" (using a buffer overflow in the PS1 emulator) that used to be used for homebrew. Reading between the lines here you can see how he came up with the exploit too...

The Git repo for the current Linux port to the PS2 -- it's a 2.6 kernel rather than the 2.2 ones in the original PS2 Linux kit. The patches actually don't look too horrible, although I doubt there's much impetus to get this upstream now.

Lots of PS2 homebrew tools; he's the current maintainer of FreeMcBoot, but there are various hardware drivers and a hard disk diagnostic here too.
