#FreeDVDBoot
going to try and get the recordings left on here off the hdd. apparently you just need freemcboot and a usb drive but fmcb needs to specifically be installed with the psx setting so i’ll have to get a blank memory card and some dvds to burn freedvdboot to.

We’re getting there, patching games with freedvdboot threw a region error but the image itself worked and let me install freemcboot onto one of my old memory cards

FreeMcBoot is actually really easy to install!

I used to install it via GameShark back then, but thankfully, there exists an easier method too for slim PS2’s!

Meanwhile, I'm finally taking the tiniest baby steps towards poking at my old PS2 slim. I just got a stack of Verbatim DVD-Rs, and burnt my first one - FreeDVDBoot. I also replaced the TIM pads and clock battery ~3ish years ago?

Using my newfound DVD-R powers, I can use FreeDVDBoot to run homebrew applications, which includes Memory Card Annihilator to read/write to memory cards. Since the PS2 can read and write PS1 cards, I was able to install an exploit on one and can now run burned PS1 discs

i have since installed freemcboot using freedvdboot and have the game loading off a raspberry pi :3
November 22, 2024 at 8:46 AM
My blank dvd discs are coming today, time to test out the PS2 FreeDVDBoot exploit :)

My USB ports on my PS2 don't work and the FreeMcBoot version is ancient so there's no easy way to update it. Seems like an easy workaround.
August 17, 2026 at 4:50 PM
Wouldn't surprise me if some of those are fakes. I'd bet the discs are just backups with FreeDVDBoot on em.
August 6, 2026 at 4:50 AM
(Late context): I busted the mechanism that opens the drive, and I’m trying to get FreeDVDBoot to function XD
September 6, 2024 at 3:23 PM
Surprisingly it's very easy now, get FreeDVDBoot to install FreeMcBoot and with that install FreeHDDBoot if you've got a hard drive installed to a fat PS2
December 2, 2024 at 2:30 AM
unable to do freedvdboot with my ps2 slim cause i don't have any dvd-r discs :(
November 21, 2024 at 11:14 AM
If anyone would like to play those on real hardware, google freeDVDboot 😎👉👉

freedvdboot+mechapwn is the easiest and ultimate way to a fully modded ps2

and for some fucking reason if you mod your pal console into a pal devkit (with mechapwn), only ntsc psx games will display properly

i don't fucking know and i'm too tired to research it
May 13, 2025 at 11:46 PM
U dont need modded ones of those! Cfw on vita is ez and ps2 has freedvdboot so you can burn ur own games
