***Credit goes to dlanor @ psx-scene.com for providing the ps2client.exe and elf that works 
best with PS2PSXe***

ffgriever, the developer of PS2PSXe Emulator, had provided another updated version to ps2client, but it was 
a bit faulty.  So for best results use this version instead.  Out of several tests, I found danor's 
version to the be best.

So I've uploaded my modified version and called it: PS2LINK_to_PS2Client_by_Jay-Jay.rar to make sure you download
the correct version and not the other one that doesn't work very well.  You can find this download at:

The Nine Files that you should see inside the PS2Client folder:

1) ps2client.exe - this is the program that will connect with your PS2 when you a bat file from your PC.

2) pthreadGC2.dll - basically the driver that needs ps2client.exe to run with (this file should always be placed next to where ps2client.exe is.)

** dlanor created also the folowing Bat files:

3) PS2 PowerOFF.bat -- turns OFF your PS2 when you run it.

4) PS2 Reset.bat -- allows you to reset PS2PSXe, so you can then load another game.

** I've also modified the following Bat files in order to load yours games on a PAL or NTSC console:

5) run_PS1_CD_NTSC.bat - use this if you have a NTSC console

6) run_PS1_CD_PAL.bat - use this if you have a PAL console

7) run+log_PS1_CD_NTSC.bat - use this for NTSC console at the same time it will create a logfile so you can copy and paste the information -- in case you need to share so we can trouble shoot the problem why the game doesn't work correctly.

8) run+log_PS1_CD_PAL.bat -- use this for PAL console at the same time it will create a logfile so you can copy and paste the information -- in case you need to share so we can trouble shoot the problem why the game doesn't work correctly.

9) README_PS2client.tx - the file you are reading right now. :)

How to run PS2Client?

For an up-to-date tutorial for this, please go to:
http://psx-scene.com/forums/f292/ps2psxe-developers-tutorial-still-under-construction-105353/

Below is a quick how-to, but you should read the above tutorial to get more details.

1) first open the folder "ps2link_PS2PSXe" and read the README instructions there.  Once you have
   everything set there, proceed to step 2 below.

2) copy all the files inside the folder "PS2Client" and put them inside your PS2PSXe folder on your PC.
   It's best to be using the Jay-Jay Bundle Version of PS2PSXe (consult on the tutorial link above to
   see where you can download it from).  All these files must be at the root of the PS2PSXe folder
   alongside with ps2psxe.elf and other files.  (see image in the above tutorial link to see
   where they must be.)  All nine files must but put in there for this to work.

3) Now it's important that where you placed the PS2PSXe folder there are no spaces within the 
   directory.  (see the red arrow that points to my directory (you need to go to my tutorial linked 
   above to see the image).  Also it helps that your diretory to PS2PSXe is short, so don't bury it in your
   hard drive with so many sub folders and etc.

4) Now to run a PSX game.  You can put a folder inside the PS2PSXe folder and call it "games" and put all your
   CDROM PSX games insider there or you can choose another directory in your PC to keep the games.  It's up 
   to you.  But you must keep in mind that you must not have any spaces within the names of the folders and
   the name of the game files, or else it will not work.  (see my tutorial link above for more instructions
   on this.)

5) Okay, so you got PSLINK running on your PS2, and you have put all the ps2client files inside your PS2PSXe
   folder, and your games are ready and they don't have spaces within the directory folders or titles of the
   games.  Well all you need to do is drag and drop the BIN file of the game to the run_PS1_CD_** bat file.
   Just make sure it's the correct one, according to the region of your PS2.  PAL or NTSC.  And the game should
   launch.  If you have a firewall, you need to make sure to accept that ps2client makes the connection to
   your PS2 and that's it.

6) Game doesn't work?  Well there could be problems.  Be sure to check out my current PS2PSXe Game Combatility
   List http://psx-scene.com/forums/f292/ps2psxe-compatibility-game-list-105342/

   If you have more questions, please read my tutorial (linked above) or post a question about your problem by
   creating a new post at: http://psx-scene.com/forums/official-ps2psxe-forum/  be sure to list all your information
   about your setup and console so we can help you.  Don't just write Help, that's not enough info for us to make
   any suggestions.. lol

7) Can I tweak some settings so the games work better?
   Yes.  Please consult with my tutorial link above for more details.  Plus I will also teach you how to make
   custom bat files for each game you run, this way it can have it's own tweaked settings to make it run at
   the best way it can.
