[@VulturGryphusStudios]

Hello can you please help Im trying to hack a PS2 39004 WITH 2.13E dvd. How can I hack this ps 2 if its not compatible with my version.

[@joelgallegos2557]

Blaine what about it doesn’t load Fcmb page

[@irvingrivero9192]

I had the materials needed, followed the tutorial and saved $20 bucks! Thanks Blaine. 😊

i followed all these steps and inserted the disc but the console didn't recognize it.

Just used this alongside Mechapwn to region-unlock my PS2 so I can play Japanese games. Thanks, Blaine!

[@deckofcards87]

Will it work with a PAL ps2 slim?

[@KryselITG]

@@deckofcards87 i'm not sure if its different for PAL, but i do have a slim and it did work. i think there's different ISOs you download depending on the region of the console

[@georgecaveington1661]

It worked for me on my SCPH-390xx not only using 4x burn speed but also using a DVD+R instead of a DVD-R.

[@blurio]

first video i've seen with 0 dislikes, great job!

[@macmacox]

I remember making my first mcboot.. I think it was late 2008 I cut a piece of a credit card out to make a swap tool and a burned dvd to do the process..

[@TheVoidofNothing11]

Lol, metoo! 007 nightfire! Bought it for like 2 bucks at game stop. I'm making a new card now to go with the new grimdoomer opl build

[@geuxmer2355]

When I put the disk in the ps2 just says "the disk could not be read"

[@sonica.i.rmania3802]

Why I can't get the 1.966 free mcboot? It says error 403 you blocked

[@adamsharland3272]

Does it have ti be dvd-r Or would dvd+r work??

[@flyingwings4740]

This doesnt show how to put OPL Loader onto the Free Mcboot card once done ! So you cant load any games until you put OPL on there for playing games

[@Bagadeatharva]

hey man, I tried doing everything as you said. I have a ps2 slim so downloaded that specific iso and burned it on a HP DVD 4.7GB at 1x speed. I also tried doing it with a CD but when I insert the DVD and try starting my ps2 it does not automatically go into the launch elf and shows nothing. what should I do?

[@defi4u899]

stuck at the same step, did you ever figure out the issue?

[@Pate465]

Too, u guys can clear it ?

It can’t read why? My dvd is dvd+R is that the issue?

[@bakihanma644]

Nothing in the mass folder... Any help?

[@arturboy777]

I tried playing burned games patched with the Free DVD Boot and it was honestly a really bad experience. I wasted so many DVDs that didnt work or would play the intro but then crash. Seeing this video now I think the problem was my burner write speed. I believe 8x or 4x is the slowest I can go.

[@brkbtjunkie]

that sounds right - instead of burned discs you have two other options - if you have a phat ps2 you can install a hard drive, if you have a slim you can buy a $20 travel router that can share an SMB share from an external portable hard drive, OPL will see it as a network share

[@lebbzawagamer]

I ran into a problem. My usb stick is FAT32 but the PS2 can't read it

[@reapertactical858]

I has to be formatted to mbr partition table

[@blushed2771]

So does this mean you are going to make a new ultimate video of mc2sio? I would love to see you go into more depth on what games can play and what can’t, I am planning on doing this for my ps2 and I want to make sure all of the games I want will work thanks! P.S. I know about the game compatibility list I just don’t get everything about it

[@ClarClipz]

When the ps2 opens the dvd it glitches and then black screen

[@graye437]

JUST A HEADS UP: Burn speed will be different depending on several factors! in my case, burning at 1x speed DID NOT WORK! I tired burning at 4x, and it ended up working. (Thanks TnA)

[@boredstudent]

I don't know if my slim model PS2 could read a FMCB burned dvd but I bought a FreeMCBoot memory card. I first accessed uLaunchELF using my SwapMagic 3 CD which I initially used to play an import game I bought. But I used uLaunchELF to copy my PS2 bios for use on PCSX2. This was before I ever heard of the FreeMCBoot exploit.

[@blainelocklair]

That works! Glad you were able to get the results you needed.

[@Sam-kq6be]

does installing FMCB on the memory stick blank out the memory card? also can i launch the ulaunch application without downloading the FMCB into the memory card?

[@makedaevilmage]

Can I download FMCB somewhere else? Kept getting 403 errors and now 503 ... can't even load the website anymore.

[@Borvoc]

Wait, shouldn’t OPL be on a FreeMCBoot card? I went through all the steps and then continued to your other videos, which require OPL, which isn’t set up in this video…

[@jj-we5km]

Hi.. just ran into the same problem with the OPL did you find a solution to get OPL on memory cord so it will work?

[@jal4319]

same here

[@Borvoc]

@@jal4319 There’s a written guide you can find online by the creator of OPL that walks you through all the steps better than any video I’ve found. I’d link you to it, but every time I try, my comment disappears.

[@matthewsimmons9574]

What size memory card did yall use

[@jal4319]

followed all the steps, got it installed and everything, but; 1. there's no opl 2. whenever i try to open launchelf or fmcb configurator it goes into a blackscreen, so i can't install it either

[@jal4319]

the only way I can go into launchelf is if I go in the dvd, but still no access to the configurator

[@dan-IL2X8T]

Do I need both DVD and flash drive to accomplish this or not?

[@CarsandCats]

You can use a 32MB Max Memory card. It works perfectly and you'll have a lot of room for saves.

[@xPrincess420x]

I’m a bit confused if my model works or not, I’m looking at the compatibility page but it’s a bit weird for my model. SCPH-50001 is my PS2, 1.40 is the browser, 2.00 is the CD player, 1.11 is PlayStation driver, and 3.02U is the dvd drive.

[@Barryislarge]

Won't work unfortunately. I've got a 50002 with a 3.02A Dvd drive, nobody has gotten it to work yet

[@simonesardina5598]

Hi, do you know if now is it supported? I have a SCPH-5XXX too with dvd player version 3.02E. Thanks!​@@Barryislarge

Why would you recommend an official Sony MagicGate branded card?

[@animeloveer97]

Just here to say to make sure your dvd can accept 1x write speed mine only supports 4x and 8x!

[@PetagamerTheMii]

I already have a FMCB memory card on my ps2 by buying the official PS2 Memory Card, and installing freemcboot onto the memory card. So I don't the tutorial. Only thing left I need is to have SATA-TO-PS2 adapter for the ps2.

[@blainelocklair]

Right on. It's great that they're out there and relatively checp too.

[@Nottspiff]

I used to have hd loader on my memory card using a ps1 game as a boot disk, but further down the line the memory card corrupted so I had to delete everything on it. But I’m just wondering if I buy a mc boot memory card would i be able to upload the games still stored on the hard drive?

[@ILLADVISEDFILMS]

Iv got an older free mcboot card, can I use that to copy from a USB a new version of it to another card for friends?

[@blainelocklair]

Absolutely, so long as you have a means of launching uLaunchELF to complete the copy over.

[@ILLADVISEDFILMS]

@Blaine Locklair I believe I do, I mean I think its called just Launchelf on this card, perhaps a quick how to clone the cards video could help me or others, so can this be done on unofficial cards and can you also save game progress on the same card? Iv seen conflicting videos, but I trust you to know best 👌🏻

u make it read discs, simple

[@miikari]

I'm struggling to find a DVD burner with a speed of 1x, most of them on amazon have 8x speed or so, and I don't know if that is the maximun speed and it goes all the way down to 1x or if that is the only speed. Would appreciate if someone recommends a model that has 1x and is not very expensive

[@ongakuwotabeta]

the IMGburn program should have settings to lower your disc read speed for that particular disc. The advertised capacities is the maximum it can handle. I have successfully burned Sega CD games (as those use a REALLY low read speed due to how old the hardware is), so you shouldn’t have an issue with DVD burns as well

[@thespanishinquisition8628]

​@@ongakuwotabeta The advice that you should use the lowest possible speed is just old misinformation and doesn't make any sense at all. What matters the most is using the right disc type (DVD-R or DVD+R) from a reputable brand (Verbatim discs usually work well and are readily available) and burning with a speed that is supported by your burner. Turning on OPC is also recommended for a potentially better burn.
