SCEE Demo Disc Menu 1F668570 Release 1
--------------------------------------

* WTF IS THIS ? *
It's the demo menu/loader that can be found on the following demo discs :
OPS2M Germany 01/2005 [SCED-53056], OPS2M Germany 2005/03 [SCED-53159], OPS2M Demo 58 [SCED-53161], OPS2M Germany 2005/04 [SCED-53206], OPS2M Germany 2005/05 [SCED-53207], OPS2M Germany 2005/06 [SCED-53289], OPS2M Germany 2005/08 [SCED-53210], OPS2M Germany 2005/09 [SCED-53211]...
It has been modified in order to handle plain text configuration files (1F668570CONFIG.TXT).

* Why 1F668570 Release 1 ? *
There are numerous versions of the SCEE demo disc menu. I use their original ELF CRC32 as reference. "Release 1" means what it means...
Expect more hackery in Release 2. Maybe an automatic video mode switcher and a disc type detector...

* What's it's purpose ? *
Examples of use :
- Game rip compilation (Multiple CD based games, all in one DVD)
- Game serie compilation (Adventues of John Doe +  Adventues of John Doe II + Adventues of John Doe III...)
- Compilation of homebrews
- All releases of a title in one DVD (Ridge Racer V NTSC J + Ridge Racer V NTSC U/C + Ridge Racer V PAL...)
- Game hack/translation compilation
- A compilation of your own productions

* So how to use that thing ? *
1) Rip your game/video stuff and assemble it;
2) Edit CONFIG.TXT;
3) Build your ISO with your game/video stuff, the folder "1F668570", the ELF "1F668570.ELF", and the SYSTEM.CNF;
4) Test your ISO with PCSX2 (http://pcsx2.net);
5) Burn your ISO to a blank disc/Put it on your PS2HDD/Run it on your CDVD emulator.

- Tips and Tricks -

The Introduction Video

You can disable it by putting the "NOINTROMOVIE=1" variable on the "Global Stuff" section, then delete the file 1F668570INTRO.PSS.
Make sure the "NOINTROMOVIE=1" variable is present before deleting INTRO.PSS or the menu may crash.
Refer to specs described in "Intro PSS Infos.html" if you want to encode your own intro.


The Introduction Text

The introduction text is defined by the variable "INTROLINE" on the "Global Stuff" section.
You can delete the text and the variable name, but the black screen will remain here for a couple of seconds.


Custom Logo Insertion

Logos and textures are embedded into the ELF but you can use yours as long as they match the original resolution and filesize.
The 2 most interesting TIM2 pics are these :
Offset 56320h, a monochrome banner of 256x64, displayed on the top-left of the main menu. Originally it's the Ofiicial PlayStation 2 Magazine logo.
Offset 5A760h, a transparent icon of 64x64, displayed on the top-right of sections that have the "GFX_BLACKPLAY=1" variable. The logo is horizontally and vertically mirrored.


IOP Reset With An IMG Module Set

Put your IOPRP#.IMG module set in the folder "1F668570" and set the "IOPIMAGE" variable of your link according to it's filename.
For example :
1) Put IOPRP666.IMG in the "1F668570" dir
2) Set the "IOPIMAGE" variable value to "666" (default value is "300" for "IOPRP300.IMG")
IOP memory is updated with IOPRP666.IMG before LoadExecuting your ELF.
Whatever you decide to define for IOP Resets, never delete "IOPRP300.IMG" from the "1F668570" dir. It is used by the menu itself at startup.


CD Based Compilation

This SCEE Demo Disc Menu runs only from DVDs. If you want to build a compilation for a CDR, you have to patch the disc type on "STREAM.IRX".
You can do that by using some kind of generic patching tool, disassembling the module yourself or simply replace "1F668570STREAM.IRX" with the one included in this folder.

krHACKen, is to create a collection (such as games)?

[krHACKen]

volgame, it is a menu extracted from a demo disc. With this menu, you can create a compilation of games, like collector discs.
Basically, it is an ELF launcher, like "PS2 Multiloader", but more compatible. The CONFIG.TXT can be edited to add your own ELFs on the menu.

The example BIN/CUE is just a test, for demonstrating how it does work.

[zap1]

This tool is awesome! In that way, you can even make your own demo disc with your own demos included!!! I wish there is also a way to make a demo disc menu for the PS1, which would be also cool, if I could make a PS1 compilation using these menus.

[krHACKen]

PSone "Future Demo Discs" have their configuration hardcoded in the EXE :( . I'll check later if there is a menu that can be customised...
A homebrew solution exists, "Demo Menu" coded by Loser. That's the menu used in Pavlik's Hacker Kit.

For now I continue hacking the other SCEE Demo Disc Menu versions... Differences between versions are mostly GFX changes, and some features like "NOINTROMOVIE" and "HIDDEN_OPTION" being removed.

I just understood how "HIDDEN_OPTION" works. Items definied by "HIDDEN_OPTION" are not displayed on the menu until you press L1+L2+R1+R2 to unlock them.

[krHACKen]

The project goes on... I've hacked a bunch of other versions.

No release/upload for now, because I should receive a pack of demos in a few days, and will have to identify their menu.

Crypto stuff of earlier demos (2000-2003, with CONFIG.DD2, FRAMES.IPU, GRAPHICS.DDP) is stronger. Future "accidentaly" leaked a crypter/decrypter for the config file. It's called Demo Disc Config Tool. So, decrypting and building a CONFIG.DD2 is not difficult, but hacking the ELF is.

I counted 15 different versions of the SCEE Demo Disc Menu (based on their original CRC32), including earlier versions. Generally, differences are minor graphic changes, module updates or option implementations (like the very useful "NOINTROMOVIE").

I have built myself my own demo disc with my own games, but here's a problem: After a demo of a game ended, it goes back to the PS2 Browser menu in the BIOs and not back into the main menu.

And when I also rip out the SCEE_DD and the SCE_DD folders and an SCED file from a normal 2004 demo disc and then put it into my demo disc and also replace the Config.TXT with the one I made myself, the disc simply won't load up for some strange reason. I think I need to encrypt the Config.TXT, so I would be able to make my own demo disc run. Is there any way to do it?

Цитата: Сообщение от zap1 I have built myself my own demo disc with my own games, but here's a problem: After a demo of a game ended, it goes back to the PS2 Browser menu in the BIOs and not back into the main menu.

I think you have to edit the ELF of your demo with an Hexadecimal Editor, to correct the path of the menu.
Most demos try to execute SCEE_DD\SCEE_DD.ELF when the demo ended. Sometime it's SCE_DD\SCE_DD.ELF. Replace this with the correct location of the menu ELF, for example \1F668570.ELF.

I think I need to encrypt the Config.TXT, so I would be able to make my own demo disc run. Is there any way to do it?

CONFIG.TXT files of original demo discs are crypted. There are 2 ways to make your own disc with files from an original demo disc. Encrypt your CONFIG.TXT files or hack the ELF so it can "understand" a plain text config file.

CONFIG.TXT ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION (2003+ DEMOS ONLY) :
The algo is quite simple. It's a byte-per-byte XOR. The XOR key is :
[ASCII]

Sir Robert McAlpine Fine Cranes

[HEX]

53 69 72 20 52 6F 62 65 72 74 20 4D 63 41 6C 70 69 6E 65 20 46 69 6E 65 20 43 72 61 6E 65 73

The CONFIG.TXT can be easily crypted/decrypted with an app like CrypTool, or you can code your own little program.


HACKING THE ELF (SCED_###.##/SCE_DD.ELF/SCEE_DD.ELF) :
The fastest way to disable the crypto shit of the menu is to open the ELF in an hex editor, search for :

53 69 72 20 52 6F 62 65 72 74 20 4D 63 41 6C 70 69 6E 65 20 46 69 6E 65 20 43 72 61 6E 65 73

and overwrite it with 00.
Then you can use a decrypted CONFIG.TXT file with it.

[krHACKen]

I've coded a quick and dirty DOS apps for your CONFIG.TXT encryption/decryption needs :
DEMODISC.ZIP

Just drag and drop a CONFIG.TXT file to DEMODISC.BAT, or use the terminal.

Command :

DEMODISC.EXE ALGONBR INPUT.TXT OUTPUT.TXT

Example :

DEMODISC.EXE 2 E:SCEE_DDCONFIG.TXT C:DEC_CONFIG.TXT
