To boot a game off the network you need to select the OPNPS2LDR option which stands for the Open PS2 Loader. You will see the FMCB splash screen as in Figure 2 and then it continues to the FMCB bootloader menu as in Figure 3.
The first step is to plug the card in the first (or left-most) memory card slot in the PS2 and restart your PS2. As of this writing the FMCB version I used was 1.966.įigure 1: 64MB PS2 memory card with FreeMcBoot installed

I tried and failed since my PS2 was not hacked or modded to install uLaunchELF so that it could read FMCB off a USB drive, and therefore purchasing the memory card is the best way to go about maximizing use of If you do want to make this card yourself you need to follow the tutorial on the FMCB link above and try. It is amazing that people sell these things even today and that the prices are quite low relative to trying to do this yourself and buying a nearly $100 PS2 memory card adapter on eBay. I purchased this memory card ( Figure 1) onĪmazon for $17 including taxes. However, since it did not have a hardware mod-chip installed I decided to try to do a soft mod by using a hacked memory card with the FMCB firmware pre-installed. I had a PS2 Slim model SCPH-77001 which is supported by FreeMcBoot (FMCB). You have to use a wired ethernet connection for this. The CD/DVD reader had stopped working and after a few tries I gave up and decided to use the FreeMcBootīootloader to modify the PS2 so that it could load games off an SMB share on the network.
Keeping the theme of re-using old hardware, I decided to take the non-working PlayStation 2 (PS2) off my brother’s hands and try to get it to work.
