Ok this is a little (very simple) tutorial on how to make an ELF boot off a Cd or Install itself in your DEV1 (DMS3)

First to make your ps2 boot a cd you MUST have a SYSTEM.CNF File

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\HDADVANCE.ELF;1
VER = 1.00
VMODE = PAL/NTSC

You need to edit that ELF name to corispond with the ELF you have or visa versa.
If you Have a ELF named ex. COGSWAP.ELF then you need to change HDADVANCE.ELF To COGSWAP.ELF in the above SYSTEM.CNF File.
After you edit the above TexT it should look like this:

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\COGSWAP.ELF;1
VER = 1.00
VMODE = PAL/NTSC

The VER or VMODE Never have to be changed!
You simply Copy the above and put it in in Notepad and save it as SYSTEM.CNF
Remeber in All SYSTEM.CNF and INSTALL.CNF The ELF name and most other Folder names MUST be capitalized! Also the .ELF name must be capital.

Now lets make you an INSTALL.CNF (Only for DMS3 USERS) Skip if you dont have a dms3.

Here is your basic layout

HDADVANCE 2.0
mc0:\BOOT\HDADVANCE\HDADVANCE.ELF
_MKDIR mc0:\BOOT\HDADVANCE
COPY cdrom0:\HDADVANCE.ELF;1 mc0:\BOOT\HDADVANCE\HDADVANCE.ELF

The Folders and Top names can be change to make it easier to locate later in your memory card in ps2menu.
Now if we were going to make this Install COGSWAP.ELF onto Dev we would change it to something like this.
Also make sure you keep the same folder names through out the INSTALL.CNF. Also there is no need to put COGSWAP in DEv1 sence you have a dms3 already and it should beable to load backups by itself, this is just an example

COG SWAP
mc0:\BOOT\COGSWAP\COGSWAP.ELF
_MKDIR mc0:\BOOT\COGSWAP
COPY cdrom0:\COGSWAP.ELF;1 mc0:\BOOT\COGSWAP\COGSWAP.ELF

then you would copy and paste it to notepad and save as INSTALL.ENF
Remeber in All SYSTEM.CNF and INSTALL.CNF The ELF name and most other Folder names MUST be capitalized! Also the .ELF name must be capital.

Now you should have 1 SYSTEM.CNF and 1 INSTALL.CNF (DMS USERS Only) and COGSWAP.ELF

Now you should Drag and drop these into CDGen (included). Now make it into eather a bin/cue or a iso (by clicking on the img button in CDGen) and burn with burnatonce or DVDDecrypter (tutorials)

!All files can be edited later in NotePad!
