PS1/2 Can Someone Help Me With Installing FreeMCBoot?

yeah, It has to be the system. I turns out it does this when I put a dvd in

This back-and-forthing is very odd, I've never seen a disc drive behave that way. It could be a number of things, from a dirty lens through an unevenly-aligned spindle to an uncalibrated lens. You could fiddle around with lens calibration, but it's not really recommended without knowing what you're doing as you could burn the lens.

you don't have to do that. I know somebody who can do it for me it's just that he's usually really busy and lives quite a ways a way but my sister usually visits him whenever she can so i could just send a memory card with her so if it comes down to it. Thanks anyways

Try using DVD-R instead of DVD+r.

so it's been a while and a friend did get all the freemcboot files onto a memory card and I can see them in the browser but the problem is, the ps2 won't boot up with the memory card in it. It just stays at a black screen. The problem probably is the fact that I'm using a cheap third party 16mb memory card (it doesn't even have a brand name on it so don't bother asking). If I were to get an official sony memory card, could i copy the files over using the browser or do i need to install it using the freemcboot app. I have one available but I just used the cheap one because it has more space

Did you friend just copy the files to the memory card. I did that before and it resulted in me getting a black screen as well.
Try telling your friend to launch the FMCB elf again, switch memory cards with yours and install it officially.

no, he did the install through the app

I just bought mcboot off ebay for 20 bucks. Maybe they should just call it 20McBoot.

Just try using a 8mb official memory card. It should work with that.

okay. so i ordered an official one and now he has it but, he says he needs my console in order to install it. Everything ive read suggests otherwise so what are the steps he needs to take to install it on my memorycard

Unless your consoles has a different region (or that you have PSX), you do not need to lend your system to him to install Free Mcboot.

Make sure your friend do a Multi-install, then it'll work on any PS2 system with the same region.

Well it turns out that he's not going to be able to do it this weekend. God this is frustrating, it would probably be easier just to ship it to some stranger to install it. Is anybody here willing to do that?

Free McBoot 1.8c onwards can do cross regional installs.
