[tenshinoneko]

hu? freemcboot is a free program you install to your memory card ^^"

How can i do it?
I am about to buy a ps2 slim (the one bundled with singstar)
I am really stupid with PS2 stuff

Go here. Read everything.

OK, i got the Action Replay Max with the 16MB card it comes with. Will i need another memory card? and does it work with the ps2 slim white (bundled with singstar pop)?

Note: FMCB installer will not boot directly from Action Replay Max. This is why you must have an AR Max EVO with the Max Media Player.

From the above quote, I don't believe it will install with the version of AR you have (don't know as I used swap magic to do my installs).

Yes, you will need an actual PS2 memory card. If you read everything, like I said, you would have known the answer to that.

And yes, it should work with your version of PS2.

Oh cool, I should better get a Swap magic 3.6 plus + magic switch pro.

But where should i get them? like a trustworthy place ^ ^ I would really appreciate it. I am sorry for asking for too much

I guess the Action Replay Max allows you to backup savegames? If yes, you only need an official ps2 memory card and one ps1 game(only once). Look for indepence exploit in the guide. The independence exploit creates a special system config file that loads the .elf file you included in the process when you start the ps2 with the memory card and that specific ps1 game inserted. I recommend to put uLaunchELF in there, but putten the Free McBoot installer .elf there should also work.

@WiiPower That would work buuuut he is getting a ps2 slim.

A swapmagic set would be better since I could be wrong but you could possibly get a slim that can't install fmcb. (does the singstar bundle come with these or not?)

FMCB should work on PS2 slim below SCPH9XXXX
as for independence exploit, it will only work with the fat ps2.

Unless you've already bought your PS2, I would recommend getting a used fat ps2 instead. It's much easier to install FMCB, since you can use independence exploit. Plus, you have much wider range of options rather than just swap magic (which you need to buy online...) and you don't have to worry about getting an unFMCBable ps2 since all phat are compatible with FMCB


but, if you insist on swap magic, then check their website. They have a list of trustworthy retailers who are selling swap magic.

I have no idea what offers you have over there, but If the PS2 in the bundle is the slim with the integrated power supply it's not FMCB compatible....

there are over 50 millions PS2 consoles out there that ARE compatible with Freemcboot make sure you get one. Look for someone to install it for you locally if you can maybe post an add in free classified saying that youre willing to pay (be generous maybe half what you would have paid for swap magic/whatever you were going to buy)
