how to get free MCBOOT easy way

I will make part 2 of this if anybody is intersted of me showing you how to put files on usb and i will also show how it really works on ps2


What you will need:
Original PS2 game disc I used 007 agent under fire.
Apache v 1.1 newer version will not work
Dvd Decrypter or other dvd burning soft capable or raw write
Launch.elf v 4.21 other home brew launch might work don't know

The game you use needs to have multiple elf binaries on it (irx might work don't know) preferably with self explanatory names so you know when it's launched.
007 agent under fire has 3 elf binaries in the root of the dvd movie.elf, action.elf and driving.elf
driving.elf is launch when a driving level is loaded. With action I think that's loaded when any other level is loaded, but I'm not sure I modded the driving file.

Burn a iso of the game you are going to use for this hack.
If you are using dvd decrypter select insert you ps2 game in the dvd drive select mode from the dvd decrypter menu and then iso then you chose where you want the file saved and you click decrypt.

Hack the game:
In this step you are going to replace one of the elf binaries with the uncompressed version of launch.elf (the compressed version might work I don't know)

To do this you need to use apache v 1.1 if you use magic iso or ultra iso it will change the TOC values and the LBA and the hack will not work.

Load the iso using apache v 1.1 select the file you are going to swap for the hack in my case driving.elf
click iso tools then click change TOC for selected file do not change the LBA, change the size of the file to the size of launch.elf the size is in bytes so for launch elf 4.21 you would change it to 877420 ( I don't think you can change this value to a larger size and have it work but I might be wrong) now rename launch elf to the file you are replacing in my case driving.elf then in apache select iso tools again and click update, selected file then browse to the location of your renamed launch.elf and select it. Now close apache and burn the modded iso to disk. In DVD decrypter insert a blank dvd, select mode, iso, write, select your modded iso and then click burn.

Step 3: swap it
Insert the original game in the PS2 power it on let it load past the intro and all the various splash screens and into the game menu now swap the original game with your hacked copy.

The next step differs depending on the game you use and the file you replaced, if you used 007 agent under fire like me and replaced the driving.elf then load up your saved game slot then go to select level and select the level where you are driving. Then you will get a loading screen and instead of loading the level it will load launch.elf which you can use it to load any exploit you want. I used launch.elf to load the free mc boot installer from a thumb drive.

If you deleted your bond saved games then you might want to try replacing the action.elf with launch elf instead I think this will load launch elf on the first mission but I'm not sure I didn't try it. If you used a different game it's up to you to figure out how to trigger the exploit. A couple of the games I looked at had a credits elf I would assume to trigger that if that's the file you replaced you would have to beat the game.

Sweet you are done if you don't believe this is possible I've included a video of the exploit in action. If you think this is way to much work you can always just buy a swap magic disc.

PS don't try and put the launch.elf cnf on the disc it will mess up the toc and launch.elf run fine with out it.

From jailbreaking my ipod touch, to putting cfw on my psp 3001, to using my tivo as a pc hardrive. THIS IS THE HARDEST THING TO HACK AHHHHHH

[ch3rryp3psi]

can the ps2 read the burned game? i soft modded my slim ps2 and when i tried this trick (not necessarily with a burned 007 game) it did not work, and the ps2 recognized it as a burned game.

@Mdogboomer

Well put it this way, you lose any warranty that you may have, and Sony are against this being done but, the benefits for doing this are astronomical.

The legitimate idea is that when we purchase a PS2 game or are bought one for say Christmas or the celebration of our own birth - over time that disc may get scratched.

Instead of buying it again we can do this & DOWNLOAD THE GAVE WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OUR HARD EARNED CASH ON and play without the game being thrown away; legitimate
