PS2Link is a PlayStation 2 debugging and communication tool that allows a PC to interact with the PS2 over a network connection. It provides a console, file transfer, and debugging interface, enabling developers to run and debug .ELF applications on the PS2 from a PC.

Features

• Remote execution of .ELF applications on PS2.
• Debug console over TCP/IP or UDP.
• File transfer to/from the PS2.
• Memory inspection and modification.
• Network-based I/O for homebrew development.

---

Supported Platforms

• PlayStation 2: all FAT models with network adapter (SCPH-30000 to SCPH-50000, SCPH-10350 Ethernet Adapter).

---

Components

• ps2link.elf: ELF loader running on the PS2.
• host program (ps2client): PC-side application for sending commands, transferring files, and debugging.
• Network drivers: Requires smap.irx or smap-linux.irx loaded on the PS2 for Ethernet support.

Installation

1. Copy ps2link.elf to your PS2 memory card or USB device.
2. Ensure a network driver is loaded (smap.irx for retail, smap-linux.irx for PS2 Linux).
3. Connect PS2 and PC to the same LAN.
4. Launch ps2link.elf on the PS2.
5. Run the host program on your PC and connect using the PS2's IP address.

ps2client -c ps2link.elf

Transfer Files

ps2client -t /path/to/file

Debugging

ps2client -d
