RHC Launcher

Overview

RHC Launcher is a tool to start the Rad Host Client, enable the connection to the PS2 and hide the Rad Host Client’s window. Because the Rad Host Client does not have the feature to minimize or hide itself, RHC Launcher can be used to do this at the startup of the computer. It also sends the IP to the edit field and simulates a return keystroke switch the Rad Host Client automatically on-line.

The Rad Host Client is a tool that provides PlayStation 2 applications, for example the Simple Media System, access to files on your PC. Rad Host Client and SMS were not written by me. I just wrote the RHC Launcher to make it more comfortable to use them. Information about the Rad Host Client or SMS can be found on www.ps2dev.org.
