Hi all,
I have a mcboot card I want to copy. it also has HDloader and OPL on. I followed a tutorial but this only put mcboot on not the other stukk. Is there any way to copy the card exactly as it is ? or is there some loader that will put mcboot OPL and HDloader on the new card ?
 
Format the new card, then copy over all the files from the hacked card to the new card using the file explorer.

All sorted, was not as complicated as I thought but from what I have found the card cannot be copied or if you manage it them it would only work on that specific PS2.

Thanks Alan

Just a heads up, I managed to copy it myself from one card to another.

Also, the other way is to run the free mc boot installer from the file manager and use that to install freemcboot to the new card, which you can set for either all ps2's, or only for that lone system.
 
Magicgate-signed files (ie the DVD player update and the browser update, of which FreeMCBoot is one) can only be used on the memory card they were installed to (though some 3rd party cards probably have a fixed serial number)

Regular ELF files (the ones you can run from WLaunchElf) are universal (but of course can't be directly booted by the console)
