Installing FreeMCBoot on a memory card has been made infinitely easier thanks to FreeDVDBoot! This doesn't require you to find a pre-loaded memory card, perform a swap trick, or have a modchip. This method is without a doubt the easiest method of installing FreeMCBoot on a completely unmodified PS2! As long as you have a USB drive on hand and the ability to burn a DVD, you're all set assuming you have a compatible console.
Keep in mind that FreeDVDBoot is completely reliant on the specific DVD Player version your PlayStation 2 has. With time FreeDVDBoot will be ported to work on more consoles, but for the time being you need to make sure your console is on a specific version. At the moment, every Slim console works with this method, with more support expected for Fat consoles.

I did this back in 2015 with the 007 black magic swap exploit lol I'm just looking to update it.

@GordLacey 3 года назад

This was an excellent guide - thank you! I had a few glitches along the way. First was nothing showing up under MASS (my USB drive). Not sure if it was formatted properly to begin with (I did it on Mac OS), and then once it was formatted properly I think the USB just plain sucked - it would mount, but I couldn't see anything in there, and then when I could see something in there it would disappear (it was the USB stick - Kingston - grrr). After I got that sorted out (8GB SD card with a card reader), my issue was that OPL would black screen and freeze. Turns out I ran out of room on my Memory card and the full ELF file wasn't there. Oops! All good now!

@tnaplastic2182 3 года назад

Just a correction... You haven't bought FREE MC Boot, but a MemoryCard. "FMCB MemoryCard"... That's just an "FMCB'ed" normal MemoryCard still, with a special "save" on it and the software itself is free, hence you only bought the hardware and if it costs more than 10€, it's basically a rip off, ESPECIALLY when it is a Chinese Clone-MC.

@ExplodingNoobofMC 3 года назад

1:47 For SCPH-9000x users: any systems with a datecode of 8B or earlier will work with Free McBoot. Some 8C systems also work, and it's usually the P chassis systems that work. The way to find the chassis is in the lower right corner of the model number sticker. To the left of FOXC is the letter for the chassis. Edit: Any datecodes with a number less than 7 indicate being manufactured in 2010 or later, whereas 7-9 were manufactured 2007-2009. Edit 2: For the special PS2 models, the BRAVIA TVs sold in Europe with a built-in PS2 don't work with FMCB without FORTUNA, and the Japan-exclusive PSX does work with FMCB; however, a special PSX install is needed, and I don't think FreeDVDBoot works with PSX consoles.

Thank you for this. When I was a kid, I used to have the fat ps2. Brand new and within two years it stopped reading discs. As a kid I didn't know how to fix this so my parents got me a slim and i swear the slim never gave me any problems. Lasted 7 years. As I reached adulthood I had to sell all my games and consoles because I was struggling financially. Flashforward to 2020 I buy a used fat ps2. It also wasn't reading many discs AND the power supply died. I looked up how to fix it and replaced the power supply (as well as calibrate the laser). It's running great, except it has the occasional disc read error. Upon discovering this softmod I burned all my games via HdDump(b) into a 2T hard drive. Also saves some wear and tear on my games and the laser.

You have helped me a lot in the past thank you. Is it possible to load OPL directly without a memory card or usb stick with MechaPWN?

@Denz2799 2 года назад

Okay, first of all, thank you! I am a complete rookie at all of this and do not understand half of what you are saying, but the steps are so clear and detailed that it's almost impossible to mess it up. I ran into one problem though, the my PS2 keeps saying "Unable to read disc Error." Now I have a Fat/Phat Ps2, and it should work because FreeMCBoot says that the 2.10 ISO is compatible with my particular PS2 Phat and DVD model. What have I missed?

Great tutorial! I used the multi-install method to get FMCB on both a slim and a phat. But do you know how i can remove the boot image? I want to have the original intro back.

@piccolo917 2 года назад

thank you very much for this tutorial, it's well made and sourced and easy to follow. I've ran into a problem, though. My PS2 is unable to read the DVD. They are new discs I bought today, completely dust free and burned at x3, so I can't figure out what's going wrong. Is there are type of DVD you should use? The store I got mine at only had DVD+RW (which I only found out after opening the package since the front said DVD-R, annoyingly). Do you know of that is the problem here? I've read a few forums stating that they didn't have any problems with using that format, so I'm kinda stumped.

Whenever I try to run the disc, it says: 'unable to read disc.' I am sure I put the right version of iso (3.04) in there. I have a fat PS2, SCPH-50004. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

fun story on my modding experience. . . I used Free DVDboot to gain access to my usb and memory card on my slim 9001 series ps2, then installed free mcboot to my memory card, put that memory card into my ps2 thick. (definitely like the ps2 thick with ide hdd Ethernet adapter, but wish I had a 120gb-180gb hdd minimum though) I'm tempted to try maybe a patch cable + Raspberry Pi OS to hold my games on a sata hdd if possible so I can just hold my whole library there. man it's been soo long since I've played these wonderful games. . . It's a breath of fresh video game air :)

@Mainman0011 3 года назад

@@MrMario2011 O.O so far I got it working with my rpi 3B and a 640gb hdd. A little bit of a fight though as you have to boot the pi first, boot the playstation, open OPL, then insert the hdd (which sometimes for no reason it'll just ignore Lol) meh at least it's all here so I'm at least happy that I don't have to struggle with a small hdd anymore :)

@moreneider422 3 года назад

I hope this help someone. I'm with a fat PS2 - 39001, DVD Player 2.12 . Once you get on the FreeDVDMenu (the gray one) and executes FReemcboot's .elf if you got a blackscreen, try to unplug the USB driver and put it in back. That solved the thing for me.
