Normally I wouldn't care, and would just leave you to do whatever, but since you've decided to try and "threaten" members saying that you're going to take it down if they don't click your useless referral links, I felt I had to say something.playallday said:
Here is one of the far superior guides:

You sir are a douche. This is a site that first and foremost is about release info for games that are ripped, uploaded and shared all across the Internet for free. Now, the groups who rip these games don't come around begging for referrals or money, but you think you deserve compensation for a guide you threw together in 10 minutes? Really?
To take it one step further, no one asked you to make the guide. If you weren't putting it together for altruistic reasons, then next time just skip it. We all have Google, I think we could find our way to a dozen similar guides.
I mean my god, this is the Internet. People don't pay for the shit they should pay for and you thought you were going to turn a buck rewriting readily available info.
Basically all you did it take widely available information and mash it together in a half-assed thread. I would much rather have 3 well-written and detailed guides than one 20 minute information mashup.playallday said:

I can't fathom why you would need a guide for ESR.

firstly I'm not out to flame or direct anything at you so don't take it personally!
I just HATE these SCAMS/SCHEMES!!! and the way you go about getting people to sign up was all wrong by telling people to join the scam/scheme to influence you to update the/your guide!
...My point is whats already been said by Urza is WHY PAY or help your REFERRAL SCAM/SCHEME (as that's what they are and they are banned in a lot of forums for that reason)
when there's loads of guides out there for FREE!
which would most people choose? ....
here's a little guide to these pyramid/matrix scams/schemes so people understand EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE!
Described as "matrix schemes", shoppers are promised the chance of getting a valuable "free gift" - such as a mobile phone, ipod, or PDA - if they cough up, say, £20 for a mobile phone signal booster or a CD-ROM containing ringtones and games.
However, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) warns that these are just scams with consumers given little or no chance of getting their hands on these items. In particular, it seems that teenagers are being sucked into these too-good-to-be true offers.
Said OFT chairman John Vickers: "These waiting-list schemes require many more people to join than will ever receive their 'free gift'. The schemes will ultimately collapse and the vast majority of people who have joined will lose out. Don't be misled into buying by the remote prospect of a 'free gift'."
The scams work like this: customers buy a low value item and are placed on a waiting list to receive their chosen "free gift". The matrix works by sending the person at the top of the list their "free gift" but only after a prescribed number of new recruits has shelled out for their £20 item. Once the freebie has been sent, the remaining people on the list move up one place and only move up again once enough people have been suckered into buying the £20 dud prize.
Someone who is hundredth in a list that requires 50 new recruits per gift would not reach the top and receive their prize until 5,000 people had joined and shelled out £20 each.
Said the OFT: "The nature of the schemes means that the number of members who are waiting for their 'free gift' will always far exceed the number of 'free gifts' actually awarded. The further down the waiting list you join, the less your chances of ever receiving your 'free gift'."

my suggestion is rather than a pyramid scam is to put a PAYPAL donate button on the guide website and let people decide to donate or not at least then its HONEST and not hidden in any kinda scheme/scam

also currently trying to instal FreeMCBoot
that way wont have to use PS1 disk to boot HDL, COGSWAP and such
was just alerting people to a new ver that came out for upgrading
my only complaint about FreeMCBoot is no HDD support
had to waste about 3MB on my MC for it and HDL, COGSWAP, and uLe(well that was already on there
)
I know there is USB support but still uLe has had HDD support for a while now, it be expected of it
only can hope for support in an update, how frequently is it updated?

Addenda to this older question, but if you mean use CogSwap or Swapmagic or some other similar "app" to play a backup, then no a patched (ESR/Memento) patched backup will NOT work with them then as the patch actually makes the disk LOOK like a DVD-video disk, but NOT really. Read the ESR description, and/or take a look at your patched disk in windows or linux as well as using another utility to look at the structure of the disk...unpaidassassin said:
i.e. Something that uses the same exploit as ESR/Memento would be required to boot those patched disks, while the cogswap/swapmagic method just allow you to "fool" the ps2 into looking at the "virgin" backup as an original pressed disk.
HDloader might be interesting to those of you with a fat PS2 and the network card w/IDE interface as HDloader is supposed to have pretty good compatibility plus with uLE FTP server it's be trivial to swap in and out image files...
USBAdvance from further reading seems to be a waste of time as the USB1.0 interface is very slow(stutter) AND it has LOW compatibility. Also it looks as no one is attempting to do any further development of either of the two USB loaders out there.
Bottom line is still that a modchip is the best way to go, but th3e solderless type are uniformly discouraged as it appears that there have been enough reports of dead PS2s attributed to their installation/use that there may be some validity to such an assertion...
psx-scene.com seems to be down ATM...
