This is specifically for discussing the PS2 Independence Exploit. Do not ask for codes here.
For those of you who do not know what the Exploit is, I'll try to explain it as well as I can.
Basically, every time you load a PS1 disc in your PS2, the system accesses a file called TITLE.DB. The Exploit works by placing a custom TITLE.DB on your memory card. This causes an error when you put in a certain PS1 disc. That error is used to boot a loader that you decide upon when you make the file for your Memory Card. For example, mine is set up so that when I put in "Spyro the Dragon," the custom TITLE.DB will make the error, and then use that error to load a file called BOOT.ELF instead. In my case, BOOT.ELF is the program Ulaunch, which lets you load other programs from your memory card OR a USB flash drive. You can also load it from an HDD if you have one. Look it up if you want more on it.
I will also take exploit requests in this format.
Polite request
Format (Installer disk ISO, Live Disc ISO, Memory Card File)
Format of Memory card file (ARMAX, Gameshark, Codebreaker, etc.) (If applicable)
ELFs wanted in it.
ID of PS1 game(s) that you want to use to trigger it. (Use the Program IDGet to get this.)
Region (NTSC-U/C, NTSC-J, PAL, etc.)
Size of Dummy file (If you want one.)
If you are using an Installer or Live disc format, you will need to burn it to a CD-R and use Swapmagic to use it.
