That said, your main problem is that you cannot simply install the game for use with OPL by extracting it and naming the folder accordingly. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.Ī very important point, make sure you are using OPL version 0.9+. just white.įrom what I've found, this should just start up, but I can't seem to find any additional troubleshooting tips anywhere. The screen then turns white and nothing else happens. When I take this back to Free MCBoot, OPL sees the game and I am able to go to game settings (but didn't change anything) and select the game to run. iso and I see this same slus_202.73 identifier listed. I also checked the config file inside the.
iso to the DVD folder and named it slus_202.73.NamcoMuseum.iso. Using a very simple PS2 game I have, Namco Museum, I ripped an. I set up a USB stick (yes, I know the caveats, but it's a slim system) as FAT32, and created the following directories:Īfter accessing the stick through the PS2 and Free MCBoot, I also see these directories: Most of my work is done in Fedora 25, so I'm operating most of this from Linux.
I've had a very hard time finding any information with regards to how to get my games into the system, but here's what I've tried. I got the system to boot into Free MCBoot and everything looks great and OPL starts up fine.
FMCB will now no longer display the FMCB logo when software like the DVD player quits, to match the behaviour of the OSD program.I have a 70000 series slim PS2 in which the laser seems to have died, so I picked up a memory card with Free MCBoot v1.952 installed.
The user can put uLaunchELF basically anywhere, and uLaunchELF isn't part of FMCB anyway. Removed the "return to loader" option, since I had no intent on maintaining it. It was made this way for backward compatibility. For those who wish to edit this setting by hand, the valid values are as follows: 0 = AUTO, 1 = force ON (always boot into the browser), 2 = force OFF (always stay out of the browser). Modified the "inner browser" setting to allow the user to specify how FMCB/FHDB will handle booting into the OSD (Either always boot into the browser or not, or just let the browser have its default behaviour).
Its OSD sets its "region" field to 2 instead of 1, despite this console being in the NTSC region. Fixed OSD configuration setup for the SCPH-50009.
Added a clone of the kernel update for the SCPH-10000 (v1.01) and SCPH-15000. The MBR program's EELOAD module had it's argument storage widened, so that it can take in 16 user arguments (To avoid buffer overflows, since the code within it was always limiting the number of accepted arguments to 16).
Also, with this recompilation, the Protokernel patch within it has been updated (Note: This doesn't really matter because the patch from the FMCB binary would have already been applied). Recompiled the FMCB configurator to have the updated FMCB release version number. FMCB will no longer parse and repeat the arguments, but passes the arguments directly to the OSD program "as-is". Changed the way arguments are passed to the OSD program. It will now boot properly, and sets the EE and CD/DVD drive into "PS2 mode". Please read the included README file for information regarding limitations/known issues and other important notes! Modifying or getting a pre-modified copy of the HDDOSD is not under this project, which is why that topic will not be discussed here. ***Whether the hacked HDD OSD supports non-Sony disks or not depends on whether it was modified to support non-Sony disks.*** Patched/modified copies of the HDDOSD may not work, although non-Sony disks are supported by FHDB itself. It does everything like FMCB does, but is meant to be used with the Sony HDDOSD (Browser update v2.00). Free Memory Card Boot (FMCB) is a homebrew software which is designed to setup your PlayStation 2 console and provide you with a means of launching homebrew software, without the need for any extra hardware, modifications to your console or dangerous tricks like the legendary swap trick.įMCB was originally developed by Neme and Jimmikaelkael, but they have been kind enough to provide me with access to its source code, for me to make some improvements to it.įree Harddisk Drive Boot (FHDB) is basically FMCB that gets installed onto the PlayStation 2 console's HDD unit.
