    PS1/2 Really WEIRD issue with FreeMCboot

    Just a follow up to this... and this in itself is puzzling. Out of exasperation, thinking 'surely this won't work' I tried booting the PS2 Fat with the newer v1.953 MCboot card in the second memory card slot. And now it works! Very odd. For now, I'm just happy that I got it to work. But I'd...

    PS1/2 Really WEIRD issue with FreeMCboot

    Thank you! This is good to know, and I'll certainly attempt it. The only thing is, I'm a little twitchy about such things. I worry (probably unduly) about messing up the single working MCboot card I've got. I'm big on having redundancies, so if possible I'd like to have a whole other card...

    PS1/2 Really WEIRD issue with FreeMCboot

    Help me GBA Tempers! You're my only hope! I've encountered a really strange issue with a FreeMCboot card I bought off Ebay (I know, I know - it just seemed like a better option than messing about with my own install. That stuff intimidates me.) Basically, here's the scenario: I bought a PS2...

    PS1/2 Can anyone recommend a SATA hard drive for a PS2 fat?

    Just a quick update on this thread - I've fitted a Western Digital 1TB SATA drive and *so far* it seems to be working. I ran into a different issue which has thrown a spanner in the works, but I'll sling up a new thread for that.

    PS1/2 Can anyone recommend a SATA hard drive for a PS2 fat?

    Hi guys and gals! I've got a query or two for the ever wonderful community here. I've just restored and refitted an old Fat PS2 to the best of my ability. Which is Bumblefoot code for 'I cleaned it out, washed it and fitted a new fan and power switch.' As I've got hold of a nice new FreeMCboot...

    Hacking (almost) clueless noob eeds help with USB loader GX and hard drive issues

    Thanks a ton for the input, guys! I apreciate it a lot. I'll be looking into Lapask's suggestion about formatting and then re-formatting the drive once I get a bit of time to tinker with the Wii a bit more.

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Hey everybody! I'm a clueless noob around here, just getting to grips with using an external HDD with USB Loader GX on my Wii. (You may have seen the thread. With its hilarious typo in the title.) I've been battling with a WD Elements 500GB hard drive. The difficulties have mostly come from me...

    Hacking (almost) clueless noob eeds help with USB loader GX and hard drive issues

    Bit of an update to this! (Sure, no replies to this thread yet, but I know folks are watching it. Here's hoping this'll help somebody.) I've managed to un-bork my HDD. Did some fiddling in Windows disk management, unallocated the HDD's active partition, and then plugged it back into the Wii...

    Hacking (almost) clueless noob eeds help with USB loader GX and hard drive issues

    Hi everybody! This is my first post here, as I've got an issue I'm trying to get to the bottom of. There seems to be a lot of dodgy information online and I keep running into some frustrating problems as I try to puzzle it all out, so I figured it might actually be best if I asked the venerable...

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Keep current Gen consoles stock mod last gen imo
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    Anyone dumb enough to get banned for spouting profanity deserves it.

    Then how come you do it and don't get banned ? or is it a question of getting caught doing it ?

    wtf is the point of banning swearing in games? that's utterly a dumb decision

    the new generation playing MWII won't be as hardened as the previous one playing original MW2

    What's the point of video games? Kids playing video games won't be as hardened as the previous ones getting shoved down a hillside.
