How to create Memory Exploit for the PS2

This is a step by step tutorial of how to create a Memory Card Exploit (MCE). You can use MCE to launch homebrew, install program, store mp3's, PS2 files, and boot HDD using HDLoader or HDAdvance. ***Note*** This will and I said will ONLY work for the Phat Version PS2. Will NOT work on the slim.

If you followed the tutorial and successfully created MCE, but cannot boot HDD, there may be some sort of Network Adaptor and/or Hard Drive capability issue. Not all Network Adaptor work with all HDD. Make sure your HDD and/or Adaptor is compatible.

One known HDD brand that's not compatible with the Network Adaptor is Western Digital. The back part of the WD drive will not fit with the Adaptor.

An excellent site to visit for more information on HDD and Network Adaptor is : http://ps2drives.x-pec.com/?p=list

can you play back up games or japanese games with it, if you dont have a mod chip or something else

[MaPee1982]

Yes you can. This mod is for use in conjunction with a hard drive (for the older style PS2 only). Save games onto the hard drive and use this method to boot up HDLoader (for those who don't have the original HDLoader disc). You're able to play jap, pal, usa, all games from all region. Even rebuilt, resized games. Homebrews and emulators can be booted from ulaunch.

You can not just download a game then burn it onto a disc and play it. That will defeat the whole purpose of a pressed disc. If you wanna play backups, you'll need a way to boot it up (either through mod-chip, swap magic, cog swap or homebrews similar to it). If you have none of what I just mention and no ARMAX, CodeBreaker, Gameshark, etc, then there's no chance you're able to set it up on your own. Have someone with a modded console, or a way to boot/install homebrews, to install it for you.

why does this only work on fat ps2's

[MaPee1982]

Because when making the PSTwo (this is the proper name for the slimline), Sony had fix the buffer overflow that hackers were able to exploit in the phat version. Even if you manage to get the exploit working with the slimline, you'll need additional components and BIOS that the PS2 was equipped with, to have the exploit working properly.

Method 3, (this requires a cheat device too) create exploit, convert it to memory card (MC) format, upload it to AR Max or CodeBreaker or whichever cheat device you want to use, via their website, boot cheat device, connect your PS2 to the internet, search for the exploit and download it into the MC.

Personally, method 1 is the best, easiest and most preferred method. But it's up to you how you wanna go about it.

[MaPee1982]

Theres many ways. You can choose any of the following:

1. Use a PS2 capable of booting up backups (mod-chip, swap magic, etc;)

2. Use a cheat device such as AR Max, CodeBreaker

3. Or send the exploit via network

With method 1, simply burn the exploit using any burning software, then pop the disc into the PS2 and install exploit onto memory card. With method 2, create the exploit and convert it to MC format, save it onto a USB flash drive, then use AR MAX or CodeBr to transfer from USB to MC.

[lokochong]

[MaPee1982]

Yes. That's what you're supposed to use as a trigger disc.

[MaPee1982]

No you can not.
