Free McBoot on unmodded PS2

The memory cards are not in themselves region dependent, even though some of the FMCB discussions may have given that impression because the B?EXEC-SYSTEM folder and its content is always region dependent. But the memory card itself is not, so if he has a card with PC connection, or one of the EMS adaptors which does the same for any normal MC, then he should be able to use that to place stuff from his PC onto that MC.

But he still can't place a ready-to-run FMCB setup on that MC, since such a setup must be created specially for the unique ID of that MC, so he still needs to be able to run the FMCB installer on his PS2 with that MC in slot 1.

Guys ... He have a pretty damn old PAL/Oceania V3 or V4 console which has the exploitable PS1 driver bug. All he need is a original PAL PS1 game and any other modded region console to install the PS1 exploit files for him.

Once he has the exploit booting on his PAL system, run FMCB and have a party.

Edit: Seems like this suggestion was given before ... My bad for saying it again ...

Hi,
I manage to get a Action Replay Ultimate Cheats for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Tower here.
It can be use on my console.
I would like to know does it help me to install FMCB.
Thank you.

Best Regards.

After I press X at the menu it straight go to game without showing the PlayStation 2 logo.
But if I swap with uLaunchELF boot CD it hang at the menu.

You can use it to install FMCB if you can either use it to transfer gamesaves from usb to memory card, or use it to enter the Max Media Player. If not, then I thing that disc will be useless.

Thanks Bootlegninja, sorry for late.
So the Action Replay Ultimate Cheats LOTR disc can't be use with slide card to swap with Free McBoot install CD too.
Thank you.

Hi,

if you boot fmcb on a ntsc-j console and exploit a memcard, doesnt it work afterwards on a pal system too? if it works you could download codebreaker(patched one,cracked) for modded ps2, goto a friend boot it there and follow this tutorial: http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/en_cb.htm


this is what i have done to exploit my memcard, but the modded ps2 was also a pal system

cheers

No it doesn't. The main FMCB boot file is signed in a way dependent on the MG-region of the console the installation is made on, and the resulting file will only boot correctly on other consoles of the same MG-region.

And that is the reason why it worked.

A memory card with FMCB installed will boot correctly on all consoles of the same region and model as the installing console. And if the 'Multi-Version Install' is used (like I always do) the model requirement is removed, and the MC will boot correctly on all PS2/PStwo models of that region. But it will still not boot on any console from other regions.

It is possible to make an MC with up to three separate Multi-Installs on it, so as to cover three major regions, since there are three different folder names used for such installations. But the regions to coexist can not be chosen freely, as each of the existing MG-regions is bound to use only one of the three region dependent folders.

Thus you can make a single MC able to boot in each of the three major regions US, Europe, and Japan, for example. But to do this you would have to perform the installation three times, using three consoles (one from each of those regions). And there are yet other MG-regions where that MC would not boot at all.

Thanks stickray & Thanks dlanor.
Really appreciate your helps.

I just got a PS1 PAL game,
Shadow Gunner: The Robot Wars
Disc ID: SLES_013.59

May I install memory exploit by using NTSC/J slim PS2 then trigger it on PAL fat PS2 by the PS1 PAL game?
Thank you.

Best Regards.

Yes, but it will require some different work compared to a normal PS1 exploit installation, as the PS1 exploit is also dependent on two region-dependent items, though the BOOT.ELF file itself is not region dependent. And of course, you can't use any PS1 exploit on the slim console, so I'm assuming that you have FMCB on that console, and use tools launched by FMCB to prepare the exploit file for the fat PAL console.

Though you are preparing the MC on a japanese console, you need to use the region dependent exploit folder for the console it is intended to boot on, so the folder name should be BEDATA-SYSTEM. The BIDATA-SYSTEM folder that you'd use with a japanese console won't work. And the PS1 trigger disc you use must also be for the same region as the console it is to boot (so the game ID should start with "SCE" or "SLE").

And of course, once you have the PAL console booting from that exploit, one of the first things you should use it for is to install FMCB instead, so you can get rid of the PS1 exploit and its dependency on a trigger disc.

Dear Dlanor,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I manage to borrow a modded NTSC/J fat PS2 from my old classmate.
I put the PS1 exploit files in the BEDATA-SYSTEM.
Then I install Free McBoot by UlaunchELF.
Thank you, I truthly appreciate it. Your help make this happen.


With Warmest Regards,
