use hdl_dump to inject local ISO/bin+cue files into a locally-connected Playstation 2 hard drive

Mac Instructions:

# clone the hdl-dump repo
USE_THREADED_IIN=no RELEASE=yes make # otherwise will semaphore deadlock

diskutil list # find the /dev/diskX identifier of the PS2 HDD

sudo -s # must be root to query drive and inject
IMG_ROOT=/path/to/ISOs HDD_IDENT=/dev/diskX CLI_PATH=./hdl_dump node ./mass_inject.js

Windows Instructions:

make RELEASE=yes
# configure
$env:HDD_IDENT="hdd1:"; $env:IMG_ROOT="E:\"; $env:CLI_PATH="hdl_dump.exe"; node .\mass_inject.js
const fs = require('fs');
const execSync = require('child_process').execSync;

const HDD_IDENT = process.env.HDD_IDENT;
if (!HDD_IDENT) throw new Error('Must specify HDD_IDENT (e.g. /dev/diskX) ENV var!');
const dir = fs.readdirSync(ROOT)
.filter(e => e.indexOf('.cue') > -1 || e.indexOf('.iso') > -1)
.sort();
const injects = [];

console.log(result.toString('utf8'));
const parsed = result.toString('utf8').split(/\s+/).map(p => p.replace(/"/g, ''));
console.log(parsed);
const [startup, opt_name, kbsize] = parsed;
