Free McBoot Quick Install Guide (Full Guide Coming Eventually)

With the release of the new Free McBoot 1.7 and ESR r9b I decided to at least make a quick video showing the basics of how to install Free McBoot onto your memory card. This tutorial is intended for people who already know about about the PS2 hombrew scene and anyone else should wait until I get my detailed guide finished before trying to install this unless you feel confident enough to do so.

You can find a lot more PS2 homebrew including a copy of the lastest version of uLaunchELF at http://sksapps.com/index.php?page=ps2.html

The full text guide is ready for public viewing. It is still missing some screenshot and a few links that I will add later but for now it is considered a full guide. If you have any questions or would like to make a suggestion or correct any information in the guide feel free to contact me.

i hav a question, when you finish the installation, can you remove the flashdrive?

[Haldrie]

@umadbroooooo1 Yes, unless you have homebrew that you want to load from it you can remove the USB flash drive from your PS2 since, provided you installed everything correctly, all of the stuff from the APPS folder in the Install folder should now be on the memory card and everything will be loaded from there. There is a failsafe however where FMCB will check the USB first for a copy of uLaunchELF so you can still access homebrew even if uLaunchELF wasn't installed properly.

Can you burn Free mc boot on a Cd or Dvd and then installed from there because i dont have a flash drive

[Haldrie]

@SatsuiNoHadoRyu You can but you still have to find a way to boot homebrew.

can i use mcboot to play games from a usb flash disk ??

[Haldrie]

@aminohnedich There is homebrew you can run that will allow you to run games from USB however the usb ports on the PS2 are v1.1 speeds which is much slower then the actual DVD drive so many games won't work very well via usb if at all. Long load times, skipping FMVs and random crashes can occur depending on the type of games you are trying to play. Only a small fraction of PS2 games will run perfectly. The only other alternative is to get an phat PS2 and use an IDE hard drive.
