This video is MVP! Ive had my MX4SIO for like 2 years.. couldn’t get it working the first time so gave up. Stumbled across this video and it worked. Amazing. Even got it working with a SANDISC SD 32gb card working using Rufus exFAT format. Thank you.

I've tested about 80 games over the last few months and there have only been a few (about 4 or 5) that were problematic. For example, the sound in the cutscenes of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" stutters. But all in all, this is really a great thing. For me, this is the greatest discovery in recent years. Yay, I can definitely recommend it.

Great guide, very much appreciated! Just a tip for anyone who is stuck with OPL not seeing their games, but seeing there is a storage media there, and being able to view it in LaunchElf, it could be the model of SD card you are using. I was troubleshooting with a Sandisk 32gb for a solid 2 hours trying and retrying everything, then figured as a last ditch effort id try a different model of card, and sure enough the micron I tried worked first try.

Bit late, but to add, this was somewhat the same here. Sandisk didn't work. Luckily i had a Samsung which worked straight away. Then later read that Sandisk almost never works, if at all. And that's basically what i always use. The samsung was because i got it on an amazing deal so, was lucky to have it and not in use.

WARNING: Keep an extra FMCB memory card around while performing the FMCB uninstallation part. I didn't have an extra one, uninstalled FMCB and when I went to reinstall it, it said there was "insufficient space" for the install. Long story short, I uninstalled and had no way of reinstalling. So... I lost homebrew access on my PS2 and had to buy another FMCB card.

I bought an MC2SIO memory card about 2 years ago, and the games that I had running on it for the most part work but obviously there's issues. I also have a PNY micro SD card. I hear that Samsung and/or SanDisk SD cards have better compatibility. I have both a fat model PS2 and a slim model and maybe it's me but I prefer the HDD method because you don't need format that to FAT32. For a short while, I tried playing a game with a flash drive and that's not something I'll do again.

Well damn. I should've backed my Free McBoot up first. I uninstalled it as instructed at the beginning, but it wouldn't reinstall the new version with exfat capabilities due to insufficient space (said it needed 2MB but there's only 554 KB available). Exited out and it's wiped the Free McBoot memory card I bought. Now I have no Free McBoot to do any soft modding with haha. Guess I'll have to buy another and use the old one as a backup.

Great video, just a quick question. When you go into the opl settings and use the network update function how do you get that to work. Mine just hangs on a please wait and never loads the updates. I have no network settings done. Not sure what needs to be. Thought it might be like the Wii homebrew loader and just get the data through magic. Thanks

I just updated FMCB following the instructions and now uLaunchElf just goes to a black screen and I can’t continue. Same happens with FMCB configurator and other apps, any idea what would be the issue or how to fix?
@Hespdow
@Hespdow 9 ай бұрын
I managed to fix this. What I did was rename LaunchELF to RESCUE.ELF and put it at the root of my USB stick, this bypassed FMCB and directly launches LaunchELF. I then did a clean install of FMCB version 1.965, and after the installation was done everything started working well! It seems FMCB version 1.966 just didn't want to cooperate.
