Has anyone created a text editor for the ps2. This would really help me out in changing my ip settings in IPCONFIG.DAT and CONFIG.DAT files. I say this because the settings are currently for my home but when i go to my friends house i cant change them since i cant ftp into the ps2 without changing the ips. So if theres one that was already made and i missed it could someone please point me in the direction of the elf file?

There isn't one (to my knowledge). Sorry.

Here's a simple workaround you can use until there is a text editor.

Use your own PS2 and PC to setup 2 extra copies each of the config files you need to modify, one set matching your PC and another matching your friend's PC. Store these files either on the PS2 HDD or inside some normal save folders on a PS2 MC. (Most games ignore files they haven't created themselves, so it should be safe.) Then you can use LaunchELF, or similar file manager, to copy either of those file sets into the proper directory (usually mc0:/SYS-CONF/), depending on where you are (ie: which PC you are connecting to).

It may not be the most convenient way to do it, but it might prove as much of a hassle to edit text files with controller as input, so in comparison it's not bad. (In fact this method would be the most convenient way to switch between files that require more extensive changes.)

Best regards: dlanor

i always thought a good way to get around these types of problems would be to write a kernel driver for linux that lets you mount a ps2netfs-connected filesystem like any other. then you could use whatever text editor, or other existing tools you want, to manipulate the data on the memory card or wherever. this is definitely possible, and the ramdisk kernel module provides a starting point. maybe one day i, or somebody else, will do this.

Using ps2ftpd, you could use already-existing tools that can treat a remote ftp site as a mounted filesystem.

that's what I do... I was never able to get any of the networking clients or usb clients to work with my setup except for the ftp server, so currently that's the only way I have to transfer files to my ps2... BTW, the PSP version of the text editor is progressing nicely, I am just about to add menu functions, an on screen keybouard and the ability to (gasp) save files... the ps2 port is next after that..
