Patches for OSDSYS and HDD OSD (Browser 2.0) based on Free McBoot 1.8.

1. Copy osdmenu.elf to mc?:/BOOT/ or copy and paste SYS_OSDMENU.psu via wLaunchELF using psuPaste Copy DKWDRV to mc?:/BOOT/DKWDRV.ELF (optional)
2. Edit mc?:/SYS-CONF/OSDMENU.CNF as you see fit
3. Configure PS2BBL to launch mc?:/BOOT/osdmenu.elf or launch it manually from anywhere

You can install OSDMenu as the System Update instead of FMCB or PS2BBL to get faster boot times.
The release archive contains the following files:

• patcher/kelf/OSDMENU.XLF — encrypted and signed OSDMenu executable to be installed as osd???.elf or osdmain.elf
• patcher/kelf/osdmenu.icn — OSDMenu icon for the PS2 Browser
• patcher/kelf/icon.sys — icon manifest for the PS2 Browser

To install OSDMenu as the System Update, you can use the KELFBinder.
Consult the KELFBinder documentation on how to use the KELFBinder to install your own payloads.

1. Install HDD OSD 1.10U
   Make sure HDD OSD binaries are installed into hdd0:__system/osd100/ and hosdsys.elf/OSDSYS_A.XLF is present.
   SHA-256 hashes of hosdsys.elf/OSDSYS_A.XLF known to work:

   • acc905233f79678b9d7c1de99b0aee2409136197d13e7d78bf8978cd85b736ae — original binary from the official HDD Utility Disc Version 1.10
   • 65360a6c210b36def924770f23d5565382b5fa4519ef0bb8ddf5c556531eec14 — cracked HDD OSD with 48-bit LBA support from the Sony Utility Disc Compilation 4 disc

   When using the unmodified binary on non-NTSC-U consoles, you will have to decrypt and re-encrypt the original binary with kelftool to change the MagicGate region to 0xff (region free).

2. Copy hosdmenu.elf to hdd0:__system/osdmenu/
   Copy DKWDRV to hdd0:__system/osdmenu/DKWDRV.ELF (optional)
