[How-To] Install Free McBoot on a PS2 Memory Card With A Gameshark (Simple!)

REQUIREMENTS:

-PS2 (I've only tried this on fat PS2s. Your mileage may vary on a slim.)
-PC
-Flash drive (maybe multiple ones if the first one you try doesn't work)
-Playstation 2 Gameshark
-Original, pressed Playstation 1 game
-Playstation 2 memory card

EDIT: People seem to be having trouble using the exploit utility. I'm not sure what the problem is; it still works for me. Right click the .exe file (PS2_Exploit_Utility5.0), click "Properties," go to the "Compatibility" tab, and ensure that "Run as administrator" is clicked. In addition, run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). These are the options I'm using and the program opens right up for me.

This video aims to help you install Free McBoot on a PS2 Memory Card. Installing this "exploit" allows you to run homebrew applications. However, I WILL NOT support piracy of any kind, so do not ask about anything related to the topic.

Here's the link to that forum post. I altered the procedure slightly. I used the Exploit Utility instead of Titleman Frontend (though they do the same thing), for one. Also, I don't make the BADATA folder on my flash drive. Sometimes that didn't work for me. I put the whole Newbie Package on my Memory Card, then install Free McBoot. I might be making it harder than it needs to be in that regard, but I got better results this way. It froze the other way every once in a while.
Either way works, though! :D http://www.requestiso.com/index.php?topic=6121.0

Once Free McBoot has been installed, it's okay to delete the Newbie Package from your Memory Card.

Anything (links, etc) I forgot? Please comment below and tell me!

@7991rellik Thanks, man. Nice to hear it's working.

After fighting with exploit utility, i finally got it working, then when i click "Create Exploit" it loads up until it tries to convert to xps format, once there, i get a run-time error '53' : File not found...any clue as to what i have done wrong?

[FullGrownGaming]

@DexKing100 I'm not sure. Have you tried doing it again?

[RAz0Rtutorilals]

if i don't have game shark what ps1 game should i use, i have nba 98 and fifa 98 but it dose,t show that file manager thing,

what shoul i do ?

[FullGrownGaming]

@RAz0Rtutorilals It has to be a Gameshark or some other cheat device that allows you to move files from a flash drive to a memory card. You can't use a game for that. The game is used for a different part of the exploit.

When "PS2 Exploit Utility 5.0" says it expired, download the new version here:

When I copy the "your systemconfiguration.ps2" to the memory card, the name of the save file does not change as it does in the Video. I name stays as "your systemconfiguration.ps2". Has anyone else had this problem?

I have gone through the steps about 7 times to make sure I was not making a mistake, as far as I know, I did not.

I am using GameShark 2 v5.5 and a Phat PS2 SCPH-39001.

I've downloaded everything exactly as you did on your video.. but I cannot get the "your systemconfiguration.ps2" to work after I get it on the Memory card.. My screen just shows "Browser" & "System Configuration" I'm just trying to get the Free Mc Boot program to work on my system.. Cause I'm like you I've got these ps1 games that I'd like to play..

[fuzzyhead777]

[Waxduckable]
