How are you loading the CD? Pretty sure you can't just insert a burned CD and expect it to work. That's why you need FMCB after all.

exactly what he says ^^

you need a previous modded console or a way to install it, for example a disc swap trick (which i believe you will also need a tool)
FMCB needs to be installed to the memory card, you need a way to put it there first.
then when it's in the memory card, you can use that memory card to read burned discs.

well fuck

well fuck

you can do several stuff:
get someone with a ps2 that can read burned discs or a way to launch homebrew.
send the card to someone who will install freemcboot and send you back the card (there was a thread for this service here at the temp, make sure its with someone trusted who woldn't lose the card)
buy a card with freemcboot already installed in it, not sure if ebay allows this, but you could try it.
doesnt need to be a official or special memory card, after you get it, you can use it to install in other memory cards

well can you also install freemcboot with a PS1? it can read burned discs

remember that they are 2 different systems.
it would need a ps1 made installer, which i am sure no one even made one...
i am not sure if the ps2 would even be able to communicate with a ps2 memory card

Do you have a hardrive+adapter? In that case you can do something like this:
How to Easily Softmod ANY Fat PS2! | FreeMCBoot & FreeHDBoot Install Tutorial

That's what I did, and it works great.

it would be much more easier if you bought a card with freemcboot already installed from ebay or online websites, they are cheap and easily available..
but there ya go: https://gbatemp.net/threads/free-mcboot-install-service.309572/
i am not responsable if something goes wrong.

AliExpress sells FMCB installed Memory Cards too.

Oh, sorry. Didn't realize from the model number. Well in that case I think the best option is getting a preloaded FMCB card.

Yup. FMCB takes quite a bit of space on the memory card, even if you sent your card in to someone they might have to delete a bunch of your saves to fit FMCB on it. I have 2 memory cards, a transparent one I bought preloaded with FMCB and a black one for my saves. And once you have FMCB you can install it to other memory cards, so you can hook up your friends and family who still own a PS2
