If you’re willing to do a small, quick mod to your PS2, you can remove a spring and cover 2 sensors to make discs keep spinning and reading even with the tray open. Some eBay sellers are trusty, but watch out for the ratings. They’re trustworthy too – they’re FMCB veterans who’ve usually lurked around the scene for a long time, assuming you’re looking for the service off a dedicated forum.

Buying memory cards with FMCB on them off of eBay is not really a good idea, as you can get it installed for free thanks to free FMCB install services – the only thing you need to pay for is shipping, no new memory card needs to be bought. You can put your FMCB memcard back in at any time to restore everything, too. Lastly, if you ever have second thoughts about FMCB, no worries – simply take out the memory card FMCB is on (or if it’s on your main memory card, uninstall it) and voila, no more FMCB. Yes, it will void your warranty, but what good is a warranty for what is now quite an old system? That aside, if you’re worried about bricking your system, don’t worry, that won’t happen either – it’s a softmod, there’s realistically nothing that actually can go wrong. The truth is, there really isn’t any good reason not to get Free McBoot anymore. Is there any reason not to get Free McBoot? There are so many useful apps using FMCB, but listing them all here would take far too much time.
Or you could play fanmade games – like Super Mario War. You can also play games – you can play classics like DOOM directly ported to PS2 or you can use emulators to emulate classics, like NES/SNES games.
Along with this, you can update OPL over your network.

As mentioned, there is GSM to force outputs, from 480p to HDTV 1080p. That’s basically it for core FMCB – but where it gets interesting is in the apps you add.įree McBoot has a plethora of apps to choose from. SMS is a simple media system that will play/view basic media files. ESR, as mentioned before, boots burned games from a DVD. You can also copy, paste and move files – even memory card save files! HDLoader is Hard Drive Loader you boot games from the HDD, simple as that. You can browse your USB/HDD/memory card etc. So what’s uLE (uLaunchELF) and why is it so important?

Alternatively, if you’d prefer to burn the game to a blank DVD, ESR can trick your PS2 into thinking it’s a DVD movie and boot the game.įree McBoot bundles in a few core apps in their recommended package uLaunchELF, HDLoader, ESR and SMS. If one of your game discs is scratched, no problem – use OpenPS2Loader to boot games from USB, SMB (network) or HDD – with per-game options. What kind of apps? If your TV has a bad scaler (or you’re using VGA and want to force a proper resolution, for example) you can use GS Mode Selector to force a video mode such as 480p or 1080i.
So, what is Free McBoot, then? Free McBoot is Free Memory Card Boot, a PlayStation 2 softmod allowing you to run unsigned code and unofficial programs. Funey touched on the pros/cons in a previous article but I want to tidy that up, fix pretty much everything and add more to it with this.
