iLinkman

Playstation 2 iLink driver support page

Update 2014/07/07: Re-created and re-uploaded the 2012/02/29 package.

Update 2012/02/29: iLink plugin v0.98H released!

Update 2011/06/21: I had made an error during the previous upload - iLinkman v0.97A was actually v0.97C. :X

iLinkman is a driver that supports the Firewire port of Playstation 2 consoles.

It does not contain any code belonging to Sony, is less than 20KB in size and can attain speeds of up to roughly 4MB/s.

Supports S100/S200/S400 speeds.
Supports DMA transfers.
Tested: Capable of data transfers of around 7MB/s.
Does not use the Sony iLink driver (ILINK.irx), but iLinkman.irx that was developed by me.
iLinkman is faster than the Sony iLink driver (ILINK.irx).
Contains iLinkman v0.98H, and should support all supported consoles properly.
All SCPH-1x000 and SCPH-3x000 series of Playstation 2 consoles are supported.
iLinkman (And hence the whole iLink plugin for PS2ESDL) will not load on consoles newer than SCPH-390xx.

As usual, writing support of IEEE1394_disk is untested. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

As usual, please do not hotlink to the file as the link/filename will change with every release.

As I had few reports/feedback from users, I don't know how well this works on other consoles.
IEEE1394_disk (The SBP-2/IEEE1394A disk driver) might not support multi-LUN devices very well, so please do not use multi-functional devices.
The original archive containing the files from the original 2012/02/29 release has been lost. I don't know whether the extension that I've found within the PS2ESDL build 20120229 archive is the right one, but I hope that it is.
This plugin can only be used with PS2ESDL v0.821, at this moment. The plugin/extension format was changed at v0.825, and I am not going to update this plugin due to a lack of a user base and the difficulty of maintaining this project.
