Created using sources from hdlpatch v0.7c, sjuncrunch, ps2-packer, and from

patch or update your HDLoader ELF file. You can use a previously unpacked

Thanks
------
First and foremost thanks for the customization and many fixes to the original
HDLoader goes to Zer0-X and CrazyC. Thanks for your time and expertise that
has given the rest of the ps2 scene much more compatibility with HDLoader.
Hopefully you guys aren't so burned out that you'll stop trying to find fixes
for current and future games with issues.
Thanks to gvn for finding and sharing the child-proof patches.
Thanks and appreciation goes to Dan Peori, Pixel and Graham Inggs for working
on and releasing the source of sjuncrunch.
Thanks and appreciation goes to Pixel for your work on ps2-packer and for
releasing the sources to the public.
Thanks to sjeep and anyone else who worked on HDLoader in the first place.
gui history
-----------
R9f:
added Zer0-X beta DMA-selector patch
internal fixes
R9e:
added the ToxicOS v0.2 Core patch by Zer0-X (and i think crazyc).
this was added for persons wanting to play splinter cell: pandora tomorrow
which (i think) is not playable without this patch.
R9d:
revised the gui by getting rid of the skinned look. all functions are now
accessible at the bottom of the form. you must also check a box
designating either an unpacked or original hdl file as your chosen source
file. also got rid of any help forms that simply contained the original
hdl patch help files. these files are now included as is. really no need
to add a gui around text files ;)
added the HDD anti-spindown patch by crazyc
now has the ability to use an Original Retail HDL v1.0 file for any
option you would use an Unpacked HDL file. In other words, there is no
longer any 'unpacked only' functions. in case adding the v1.0 above
causes any confusion... this means THE original HDL ELF released. there
still is no support for any retail versions of HDL or HDA beyond the true
original.
R9c:
started this history ;)
fixed a bug spotted by paulodeleo where you had to select your HDL ELF
under the "original ELF" box if you wanted to extract resources from your
HDL file. extract resources states (Unpacked Only) but wasn't linked
to the Unpacked ELF edit. this has been fixed.
moved DVD9 options back to the Core Patches tab. after all, they are part
of the 0.7c core
bundled CrazyC's latest patches to one group in the Compatability Patches
tab
moved Suikoden V patch to CrazyC patches group
renamed GetStat to FileOps to avoid confusion
added a patch by CrazyC that emulates using an alternate CDVDSTM.IRX file
in original games. i'm not exactly sure what this is or does.
added an option to decrypt HDL with no patches being applied. this may be
useful for someone if they need to work with a clean, unpatched version.
R9b:
added CrazyC's FileOps patch
R9a:
added CrazyC's Suikoden V patch
