You're not supposed to go to uELF - you use it to browse files only. You're supposed to go the PSXLauncher - you must've mapped the buttons wrong or got a corrupt ELF.
Oh! I see. Have you tried adding uLauncher ELF as a menu item? Did you try re-downloading the launcher? If FMCB works perfectly fine, there's no reason why uELF wouldn't work, really.
uELF Launcher should turn on even without a disc inside the console - the mod probably has nothing to do with the problem. I suggest looking for a different download from a different source, your Launcher appears to be borked. I suggest SKSApps, that's where I got my copy.
Ok I redid my fmcb mem card and got all that stuff working fine. However, when I launch PSXLoader it says it only works on v9 and above. My slim is 75001, NOT a 9XXXX model.
Also yeah, disc still not spinning/laser still not lighting up.
).
Right, in this case PSXLauncher is not the way to go (which is why I asked about the model of your system earlier - forgot about revisions though
Try this:
This is said to work perfectly fine when all the sensors are blocked - Disc Control should take over.
- Turn on uLaunchELF, set Disc Control to "ON"
- Map the PS2Browser to a button of your choice, save the settings and turn off the system
- Put in an original black-bottom PSX disc into your system
- Power it up while holding the button mapped to uLaunchELF (the spindle should start turning now)
- Swap the disc, press your button mapped to PS2Browser
- Boot the game from the browser (it should be detected at this point)
When I switch Disc Control to "on" and hit circle for "OK" uLaunchELF freezes. I reset the PS2 to the fmcb menu, and when I try to launch uLaunchELF it just goes to a black screen.
) The system is back up and running, and I also got it to play backups. I just stuck a small screwdriver into the 3rd sensor hole, and I was able do the fmcb swap. It seems a tad wonky as far as starting/stopping the spin, but it's very minor and it works well enough.
Well I finally got it fixed. I ended up just ripping out the two censors. I tested the board connections with some small strips of tin foil until I got the disc to start spinning, then I just soldered the connections. (ugly soldering job to be honest, but it works. As long as the system doesn't burst into flames, I think it'll do!
All signs on heaven and earth say that you should be able to use those on your model.
A thing worth checking - instead of a screwdriver, try using a piece of paper of a toothpick on the third sensor and check Disc Control again (it might've been misbehaving due to the busted sensors) - perhaps you could use the uLoaderELF or the PSXLoader swap in a... less wonky fashion using those.
Yeah, I went through uLoaderELF and it played my psx backup. It doesn't freeze with disc control on anymore either. The screwdriver was mainly used to test the process. I'll use a more permanent solution later. All is well though.
