Hello everyone,

I am new here. I was wondering what I needed for the FreeMCBoot thing. I have been reading up on it and am getting confused because there is so many uses for it.lol..

I was also wondering what I needed to play backed up games... seeing as how I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old.Will I be able to play my backed up games with FMCB? or do I need to get some other stuff?

I have a version 10 PS2 not modded. Will I need a fliptop? etc... At this moment I am like switching back and forth between this forum and 2 or 3 other forums trying to figure it out so I am not done reading and learning yet. I have been at it for probably 3 weeks now. Between googling and forums.

Google is my friend I use it alot when I am stumped and it has helped me solve my problems 100% of the time...lol..

Thank u for being there to help us out..

Sincerely,

islandsun

Be the best u can be.

Ok on a Version 10 PS2 you would need to get a fliptop.

You then need a cheat disk and a PS1 game if you have it so you could first install the ps1 exploit, then install fmcb 1.7

http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/
These are all the methods to install fmcb 1.7

Your other alternative is to have someone install it for you to a mc.

After that you only need to have the ESR disc patcher to patch the ISO images before you burn them to discs.

The Official freevast forum is here:
http://psx-scene.com/forums/freevast/

Read the announcement at the top and read through the stickys, especially ESR public Beta

If you have more questions, just let me know.

Thank u very much SmokyRain. I am at this moment reading freevast thread about FMCB.

I am probably going to have someone install for me as I don't wanna mess it up and my husband screams Bloody M***er because he cannot play Madden 'o8...lol. I have pretty much good knowledge of computers,but not PS2's although I love to play my games (eg. GOW, Final Fantasy,etc.)

So I will need:

1.)Fliptop
2.)PS1 Game (Hopefully I still have 1...lol. If not I will go to gamestop and get one.)
3.)SwapMagic or HdAdvance/Hdl or USBExtreme?

Number 3 is pretty much a question..sorry, because on the tuts at skapps they have so many ways to get on memory card it gets confusing at times. I think I read the whole section on there including the forum and Freevast about 20 times already just to make sure I am able to do it right. Not done searching and learning yet.

I am one of those people who will not give up on a project until I can figure it for myself and get it right.I was also wondering if A MyBook 1 TB could be used? Thank You very much for being there.

Hi islandsun

Ok so I gather you will have a friend do the install to mc for you.
So if that is the case you have a couple choices.

You can get the fliptop

Now you can follow this method, by using a PS1 disc if you have one.
http://sksapps.com/index.php?page=exploit_utility_tutorial.html

Now what this does is install an exploit to the mc and will run when you put in the PS1 disc.

Once that is done, you can then just follow this tutorial to install fmcb 1.7 to the mc.
http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmc...tall_guide.html

Or you can buy Swap Magic and then just follow this tutorial.
http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/en_swapmagic.htm

Basically just read every step exactly and follow it. You will be kind of be going back and forth between the 2 tutorials as one explains what to put it the INSTALL, and the other tells you how to install to mc.

I hope I am not being confusing. If I am just ask again.

I am not sure if that "MyBook 1 TB " will be recognized by uLe or Swap Magic or not. Sometimes you just have to try it.
It would have to be formatted as "FAT32"

If it doesn't work just get a 1GB Kingston, or Lexar should work.
