Please read This FAQ before starting a new post about FreeMcBoot.

Also, the Installation guides have changed a bit. There are now guides for installing FreeMcBoot onto memory cards, AND there is a guide for installing it directly onto an internal hard drive.

In this FAQ we will be exploring the basic questions people usually have about FreeMcBoot. What Can I do? What Can't I do? Can I play Backup DVDs? Can I load backups from a hard drive? From a USB Drive? Can I use an emulator? We'll cover all that, and more. Best of all, the answers to most of these questions came straight from /r/PS2 users like you! Thanks for being such an awesome community, you guys!

• What Is FreeMcBoot (aka FMCB)?

Free Mcboot is basically a way to make your PS2 memory card exploited. Once you have this mod installed on your memory card, and insert that memory card into your PS2 you can start installing homebrew programs, and unleash the true potential of your PS2. Once you insert a PS2 memory card with free mcboot on it the PS2 will load a different menu than it normally does. This menu can be configured to load all kinds of different software, but basically it lets you run homebrew, emulators, backup loaders, graphics upscalers, and other stuff.

• Is It Permanent?

No. FreeMcBoot is installed onto a standard PS2 memory card. When this memory card is plugged into your PS2, then your PS2 boots into the FMCB homescreen, and is functionally 'modded.' As soon as you remove this memory card, and reboot your PS2, it is 100% completely reverted back to stock. All the 'magic' happens int he PS2's memory so nothing about it is permanent. Advanced users can even install FreeMcBoot onto the internal hard drive of a PS2 Fat, but even this can be undone by removing or reformatting the hard drive. Nothing about FreeMcBoot is permanent.

• Will It work with my PS2?

Free Mcboot will work with almost any PS2. The only versions of the PS2 that will not work are the slim models with a model number series of 9xxxx. These are the models on which 1/2 of the top is shiny. If you have a Fat PS2, or a slim that just has a 1 inch wide 'band' of shiny plastic on the top, then you can use FMCB

• How Do I get my PS2 working with FreeMcBoot?

There are a couple of ways you can go about it. Some easy, some hard.

• Easy: Buy a memory card that is preloaded with FMCB already. These can be purchased via /r/PS2's Sidebar. This will cost you a few dollars, but keep in mind you are paying for the convenience, the cost of shipping, and the cost of the card itself, not for FMCB. FreeMcBoot is available from HERE for free.

• Hard: Physically modify your PS2 in order to trick it into reading a burned DVD which has ben prepared to install FMCB onto your memory card. Guides for your specific type of PS2 can be found via /r/PS2's Sidebar.' This method is completely free, but significantly more difficult. That is the tradeoff. If you buy (or otherwise aquire) a memory card with FreeMcBoot installed on it, you will not have to open your PS2 at all.

• Can I play backup copies of my PS2 games?

Yes. FreeMcBoot allows you to load backup copies of your games in numerous ways. You can burn backups to DVD, on a Windows or Macintosh computer, by simply patching them using the ESR GUI tool. This is a one-click program that makes your backup files work with FreeMcBoot, and is available for Windows and Macintosh. What a time to be alive! Advanced Users can also use software called OPL to load PS2 .ISO files from a folder right on their PC, via ethernet cable. Advanced users with Fat PS2s and internal hard drives can even rip their discs to the hard drive using software called HDL, and load them via OPL without even having the disc in the drive.

• Can I play backup copies of my PS1 games?

Yes... sort of. How easy it is to do this depends on which model of PS2 you have. If you have a Fat PS2 it is very difficult. If you have slim PS2, it is slightly less difficult. It always requires physical modification of the PS2, and is beyond the scope of this FAQ. Someday, I will write a specific guide for all models.

However, with all that said, there is new software available called POPS that essentially lets you load a PS1 .iso file onto a USB drive, or your internal HD if you have a Fat PS2, and play it this way. /r/PS2 has not yet compiled a detailed guide for POPS, but it is absolutely on our TO-DO list. Compatibility for this method is nowhere near as high as physically modifying your console to read backup CD-Rs, but it is much easier to drag and drop a file than mod your console, so stay tuned.

• What else can FMCB do?

All kinds of stuff. We will explore all the wonderful things like upscaling your graphics to 480p (and sometimes up to 1080p!), running emulators, using cheats, etc.

Loading PS2 backups is technically possibly via USB sources such as thumbdrives and external hard drives, but the PS2's USB ports are limited to the USB 1.1 protocol, meaning the loading speeds from USB sources is less than 1/2 the speed of the DVD drive itself. This means that most games will have skipping audio, skipping FMV sequences, and some games will randomly crash, or be unplayable at all from USB. We don't suggest anyone plan to use USB loading as their primary source for backup loading.

/r/PS2 is a place for people who enjoy, and primarily collect for PS2, to gather and discuss our games. Do not ask us how to download roms, or where to find games online, or anything like that. That isn't what we do. We use backup loading to protect our precious discs from the trials of time. Backup loading allows us to take our discs from the case once, rip them, and put them back on the shelf safe and sound forever. It also saves wear and tear on the aging DVD drives in our PS2s. Again, do not ask about, or post about, anything related to piracy or your post will be removed and you will be considered for banishment from /r/PS2.

/r/PS2 would like to thank all of our active community members for making /r/PS2 such a wonderful place! I'd also like to thank Freedomain.co.nr for offering free DNS listing and other necessary services so we can host this guide ourselves, on our own server, absolutely free.

Thank you all so much for making this FAQ possible.

STEP 1:PREPARING YOUR PC TO INSTALL PS2SDK
Preparation:
In order to successfully install PS2SDK make sure to do the following steps:

• (Do this FIRST before doing the next steps below): Do a fresh reboot of your PC—if you've been running your PC for a few days.
• Disable your Anti-Virus and Firewall (until preparation is done). Its important cause some utilities can be recognized as viruses at compilation stage.
• Disable Log Off feature on your PC.
• Set 'Turn Off Display' to NEVER
• Disable Sleep and Hibernate features.
• Since this will take anywhere up to 6 hrs to complete, you will need to be able to monitor your computer screen in case something goes wrong. So schedule this during a time you can be on your PC the full time.

IMPORTANT: Not doing the above steps to prepare for this installation will cause you to have to reinstall it over again, until it is fully done correctly—Caution: Installing PS2SDK can take up to 6 hrs.
STEP 2:MSYS2:
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL LATEST VERSION
link: msys2.github.io
mirror: Click here
For 32bit machines select msys2-i686-***.exe
For 64bit machines you can use both but better select msys2-x86_64-***.exe
Don't install it in Program Files; instead place it in C: drive ROOT folder without SPACES in path:

Code: Select all

STEP 3:MinGW
I. Launch:II. Copy/Paste the following into the Prompt:

Code: Select all

This will update core components and sets up your

msys2 installation for automatic autoupdate and english language use.
NOTE: You need to close msys2 after installation.
III. Now you have to launch msys2 again (repeat step I)
IV. Copy/Paste the following into the Prompt:
This will install all necessary libraries and MINGW itself. Take care that PS2SDK supports only 32bit version of MINGW.
NOTE: You need to close msys2 after installation.
STEP 4:INSTALL PS2SDK
Time: up to 6 hrs
I. Run msys.bat with proper command line parameters (aka shortcut creating)
a) Open msys2 installation folder and locate file msys2_shell.cmd:

Code: Select all

b) Right-click on this file and select command Create shortcut. Now right-click on created shortcut and select Properties. In field object you have to add after file location command line key: -mingw32. For example for me it isNow you have to use this shortcut and you can copy it whenever you want. Launch this shortcut.
c) It should quickly refresh the window and then you should see something like the following 'Prompt':

Code: Select all

User = Your PC Username when you Log On . For example: John
ComputerName~=Name of your PC within your Home Network. For example: TheBeast
Example in complete form: (Let's call this your 'Prompt' to enter more code for MSYS2.)
d) After the symbol '$', you must copy/paste each line of code (from the table below) in the Command Prompt.
II. Copy/Paste the following into the Prompt:

Code: Select all

TIP: If you ever see that you entered the code above and it doesn't seem to do anything, press ENTER on your keyboard.
III. Clone and install ps2toolchain (this one will take some hours):
TIP: If you ever see that you entered the code above and it doesn't seem to do anything, press ENTER on your keyboard.
Time for install: compiled with make -j 4, processor: Core2 Quad 2.4GHz Q6600

Total time: 114 minutes (almost 2 hours)
IV. Clone more PS2DEV projects...
(copy and paste this in the prompt, after it was done completing the above code).
Congratulations!
After you get the Prompt. Then you are done installing PS2SDK!
What's next?
Go to Step 5 to update PS2SDK to the latest version. Its optional you need to do it only if you long time didn't update anything.
STEP 5:UPDATING
Make sure your PC doesn't go to sleep and also disable your anti-virus, firewall, and have your PC connected to the internet to download files and etc.
Time: 1 hour (up to 6 hrs if having to update ps2toolchain).
Updating:
Part A.
Updating PS2TOOLCHAIN
IMPORTANT: Only run the following code / update if you know there has been an update to ps2toolchain. If not, then skip Part A and go to Part B below. -- You will save yourself several hours by doing so. Update ps2toolchain ONLY when required.

Code: Select all

NOTE: This will also update PS2SDK so if you perform this step you can skip Part B.
Keep in mind that will take some time to run (up to 6 hrs). If everything goes well and you get a prompt ready for more code (without getting any errors), then proceed to Part C.
Part B.
UPDATING ONLY PS2SDK
Now enter the following code once you are at the msys2 prompt
NOTE: If you already updated ps2toolchain above in Part A, you can skip running this code to update PS2SDK and go to the Part C code below.
Part C.
The same about projects - update it only something was updated in previous steps or if projects has updates itself.

Code: Select all

TIP: If you ever see that you entered the code above and it doesn't seem to do anything, press ENTER on your keyboard.
Congratulations!
After you get the Prompt. Then you are done updating!
What's next?
Go to Step 6.
STEP 6:SAMPLES
For now are working almost all samples in ps2sdk, all samples in gsKit is working fine and samples from ps2sdk-ports is working fine.
STEP 7:Code modifications to be compatible
- there is known bugs, one of them is that bin2o and bin2s utilities are malfunction. So you HAVE TO switch into bin2c.
- if you use -mno-crt0 flag you need to change it into -nostartfiles
- assembler code sometimes need very heavy modifications.
- for example all assembler registers needs changes

- projects also can generate errors called 'lvalue required as left operand....' Solution here.
