ps2 divx player

[Krizzz989]

it does not require a modchip.

if you have a modchip just burn the files to a cd, boot it on your ps2, and swap it with a divx cd.

this is the method if you do not have a modchip:
(cdgenPS2.exe is included in the archive)
this is what i did. drag the files to cdgen in this order: system.cnf, mplayer.elf, cdvd.irx. then adjust the LBA of system.cnf to 12231 (right click system.cnf, goto edit). then i added a "divx" folder and stuck avi files in it. then i created an image. i used the knife trick, and it worked.

there's nothing illegal about using a modchip to use homebrew open source software, such as this. unless i'm wrong...

Unfortunately there is, if this project was indeed open source then they would have released the code which they have not. What open source liscense is this released under that doesn't require that the source must be released? How is it decoding the divx video stream? Is it using ffmpeg? There will be a much better alternative in the near future I think. BetaBoy and others are working on porting their dcdivx player to a ps2 memory card which is linux formatted and then you can boot from that, no modchip required this is a much better solution I believe. For more information on the dcdivx player you can check out http://www.dcdivx.com and for more information on the port you can check out this http://dcdev.allusion.net/

Has anyone seen the source code yet? It is supposed to be an opensource project since it was built on ffmpeg as BoNz1 said. I'd be interested looking into the code, even if I have small chance to fix something I want to.

I believe that this player is not open source.
Don´t know if it should be or not, but as far as I have seen, it is not.

In the official site (which is in Spanish) there is an English forum (http://www.ps2reality.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=40) where you can ask about this.

The palyer works fine BTW. Can't seem to FF or RW the damn thing though!! And to all my knowledge, you have to have your PS2 chipped.
