archive link used in the installation guide : gusse.in/download/2476/ The archive can be used with a chip capable of booting a USB stick directly, or by using Freemcboot to copy the contents of the archive to your memory card.
Was just about to pull the trigger and buy a couple IDE Resurrector kits only for them to be unavailable today, sad, I shall wait patiently. Thanks for the work in the community.
I'm having problems with the procedure. Formatted my micro sd many times (exFAT or FAT32), copied the files on the root, set the boot mode to Mass but nothing, while the ps2 tries to boot I always get an error message with 4 question marks instead of the right icons. Any idea? I'm going to try another micro SD later.
you need to put the files on root of an USB key and plug it on USB port on the console. Then you boot boot from USB key (boot mode "MASS") and if the usb key is correctly prepared you shoud have icon of app that help you to prepare your SD Card. You can also format your SD Card in exFat, but you lose the faculty to direct boot from it, and you need USB key or memory card with OPL in it. (Please check your eby msg)
Sir I have ps2 70004 - matrix 1.93 modded with hdd I am not able to install hdloader in it through fmcb When I try to install it gets stuck on installing ( on the matrix team screen ) I tried to manually copy boot.elf to hdd using ulaunch elf but it just won't copy to hdd idk why . I can read the contents of hdd through ulauncheld but cannot write or any copy paste operations ... My fmcb version - 1.93
Hello, as I indicate 0:01s : "Important note: For some as yet unexplained reason, this method MAY not work on PS2 SLiM. I don't know whether this is due to the iDE to SATA adapter, the console or the SSD/HDD. The problem doesn't seem to be software. If this method doesn't work, I invite you to use the memory card method if you have a chip."
@@Gusse thanks for the replay sir I am already trying with the memory Card method ( fmcb memory card ) I have another hdd with the same hdloader installed but it works But when I try to do the same with the hdd (which was formatted accendently) previously working it just won't boot I just hangs there Here is what I tried ( after formatting hdd with winhiip) I tried using another fmcb memory card I tried using another usb ( for launching del2.elf ) I tried downgrading the ulaunchelf to 4.12 and then installing hdl I tried manually copying boot.elf from working hdd to non working hdd through ps2 hdd manager and then tried to boot from ps2 ( and then it just shows ) black screen I think there is something worng in the process of getting the hdd ready for ps2 Or I don't know what I am missing . I hope I could find a way around it
