I'm thinking Playonline but I don't know it's title id) to another title id (say SCUS_974.02 Killzone) then re-self them and put them back in dev_flash. Pop in the Killzone disc and see if it installs to HDD and is bootable from XMB. Unfortunately, I'm dog-tired and have to work tomorrow, but I'll pursue this later. Only problems I can see if this does in fact work are 1) I don't know if there actually is any PS2 discs you can install and run from HDD without the disc inserted, although Playonline seems to be one, and 2) that's a lot of work to install a single game, you'd have to edit the files for every game you wanted to install. However: if this does work, you could then take the installed folder and make a pkg of it. A few people could in a short time make pkg installs of most of the PS2 library.

Okay, I just changed my mind, I'ma try it. (I can sleep when I'm dead) I believe the Playonline title id is SCUS97269, and guess what? It's in the elf. I'm going to edit it to SCUS97472 (Shadow of the Colossus) in all the ps2 elfs (including the pst ones for Cobra) then re-self it and see if it installs the disc. Wish me luck.
Nice, Good Luck .
