PS1/2 PS2 softmod

Sorry, but how do you go about running the backups? I have my burned DVD from my ESR patched ISO, and my FreeMCboot installed, but when I insert my DVD, It just gives me a FMCB Splash screen for 5 secs and turn black on me! This is probably the most I've sucked at something like this before XD

 

[Devil May Cry]

Have you tried inserting the disc after FMCB loads? That's what I do. If anything, enable FASTBOOT in your FMCB .CNF. There's more info on that skapps' guide.

 

[Pizzaroo]

Wait, Isn't FMCB the modified menu that comes up when you don't insert a disk? I tried that, still black screen after I press launch disk.

 

[Hero_Of_Fate]

I wanted to try this because I'm too cheap to buy a Swap Magic. What I was wondering if the only DVD-Rs I have on me will work with it. I have Fujifilm DVD-Rs that were made in Taiwan.

 

[CPhantom]

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering again if anyone has gotten this working with GamesharK? Preferably V1.3

 

[Link5084]

Anyone answer my question?

Anyone answer my question?

as long as you store those elf's on the memory card then you will not need to have a USB drive plugged in an can configure it to your liking

 

[playallday]

Just curious, but would Gameshark v1.3 work with this? My brother owns one of those and we could use it if it works.
Well, why not try?

It mostly will work, but over time it may kill your laser.

Open "ESR" and NOT "Launch Disk".

 

[Hero_Of_Fate]

So then, what DVDs should I be looking into getting? After all, I don't exactly want to kill my laser all that quickly.

I hear Verbatim is very good. I use junk TDK's on mine, EB games will fix my laser for free (for a year

). They work but I wouldn't tell anyone to use them.

 

[Hero_Of_Fate]

I see. Well, I'll try out the Fujifilm DVDs to see how the work out first. They're a pretty good company, so I'm not TOO worried. I'll probably switch over to Verbatim once I have the money, though.

 

[Pizzaroo]

Oh thats what I've been doing wrong, thanks! XD

EDIT: WOAH! IT WORKED! FUCK YEAH THANKS!

EDIT 2: Running my backup of onimusha 3, no problems at all!

 

[CPhantom]

With gameshark V1.3, you can't boot a file directly from the gameshark, and it does not have a media player. What other way would be possible to do this? I can get the files onto the memory card, but that's it.

 

[Jiggah]

You can use the PSX exploit if you have a PSX game lying around.

 

[CPhantom]

I'm also using a Thin line though, the 77001, so I don't think that'll work.

 

[Pizzaroo]

Do I need to verify the disk using imgburn when burning my iso? Kinda seems useless.

that makes sure no problems occurred during the burning the process

 

[Devil May Cry]

I've got Shadow of the Colossus and Resident Evil 4 backed up so far. Now, God of War. It's a DVD9. What tool do I use to shrink it to less than 4.7 GB? I heard GNIE doesn't work. I eventually want to do God of War 2, Devil May Cry 1-3, ICO and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 as well. Do any of those games that have burning issues (like dual-layer)?

 

[Link5084]

Can FMCB play burned PS1 games?

 

[Pizzaroo]

I have backups of Shaun white snowboarding, SOTC, Onimusha 3, and Meltyblood, all seem to be working so far, many thanks!

EDIT: Oh, I'm going to keep verifying then XD
