## Step 1: Identify your DVD Player Version
Boot your PlayStation 2 without any disc inserted, and press Triangle to identify which DVD Player version your console has.
For initial release only DVD Player version 3.10E is supported (as that's the console I have) - UPDATE: someone tested 3.10E exploit on 3.10U and it worked, so I guess region doesn't matter. In the future I may look at other firmware versions, and hopefully over time other developers from the scene will also contribute support for additional DVD Player versions.

Don't bother trying 3.10 on a different firmware, it won't work...
Pre-built ISO files for supported DVD Players containing just uLaunchELF are provided in this repository for ease of use (which can be used to boot homebrew over USB storage), such as `3.10E.iso`. If you intend to make your own image containing additional homebrew / modified initial loader, please read on.

## Step 4: Test and burn
I would recommend you test in PCSX2 first, but since [PCSX2 doesn't support loading the DVD Player](https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/1981), you have to decrypt and repack it yourself, which is beyond the scope of this README. With that said, if you aren't touching anything in `VIDEO_TS`, there shouldn't really be any reason for the exploit to fail.
You should use DVD-R, and finalize the disc as burning option.
## OPTIONAL: Replace the initial program
I've included uLaunchELF recompiled with [DVD support](https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2sdk/pull/130) as the default initial program. It presents a menu which allows you to select any of the homebrew programs you chose to include on the disc (and also allows booting from USB).
