SWAP MAGIC 3.6 PS2 SLIM HOW TO
Also in that same thread both he/she and another forum member explain how to actually boot ELF files from USB driver using hotkeys with Swap Magic.Īll that being said (sorry for the wall of text), my question is: How can you boot uLE, and more in general. This is are the posts where he discussed about this topic:īut I've also found another thread where a PSX-Scene contributor, ShaolinAssassin wrote that you can't boot uLE from MC.
ELFs from a PS2 memory card other than booting them from a USB drive, and he was referring to doing this on a FMCB incompatible model. Anyway, Ive read that 3.8 has problems with some games that 3.6 plays. Now, reading all those threads a notable PS2 modding scene member, dlanor, has stated that he uses Swap Magic to boot uLE and, more generally that you can boot homebrew software. Now, I've read a bunch of threads on various PS2 modding forums and apparently the only way to softmod my PS2 is to boot uLaunchELF (or maybe even the new project wLaunchELF) using a Swap Magic.
So at this point I can say I'm quite sure my new PS2 is with bios 2.30. All of those installations worked on my hardmodded PS2 and thus FMCB booted with mc inserted, but none of them made FMCB boot on my new PS2 model. I tried cross region, cross model and multi installation. So, I installed FMCB on a mc with my old hardmodded PS2. BIOS won't let your PS2 be compatible with FMCB. Just plug in the USB mass storage device/memory card and boot your PS2 with Swap Magic Plus v3.6. This function allows you to load your own programs which are stored in USB mass storage device/memory card.

Actually, it could be potentially compatible since it's a SCPH-90004 R-Chassis 8C (you can see it in the attached photo), and models with date code were made some with BIOS 2.20 and some with BIOS 2.30. 'Swap Magic Plus v3.6(Note 1) not only inherited the features of Swap Magic v3.3, but also included an advanced function - Programs Loader. In the past few days I've been trying to get as much info as possible and I found out that my new PS2 model isn't compatible with FMCB.

I recently bought a second ps2 slim version (I already had and still have a PS2 slim modded in 2004 with a Modbo chip, SCPH-70004) and I want to softmod this new purchase in order to play my backups from PC via the Ethernet cable using OPL. Keep in mind that in order to use this method just like swap magic you need to have a "Swap Tool" to swap discs on a PS2 Fat or block the lid sensors when using a PS2 Slim.Hello, I'm new in this forum. (Works on Slim and Fat models)Ĭogswap Loader - This one is basically a Swap Magic Clone but with better compatibility, it uses the same concept of inserting an Original PS2 Game disc and then swapping it for an Import Game disc or a burned Backup disc. Open PS2 Loader (OPL) - This one let's you play games from a Hard Drive (PS2 Fat with network Adapter), USB Drive (Good option for simple games, games with cinematic videos have issues) or a Raspberry Pi plugged to the PS2 via Ethernet. wont ship a lot of stuff to the US and modchip-com and Divineo dont seem to sell chips anymore.
Ive had the hardest time finding a reliable place to get swap magic 3.6 plus. These discs can load ELF files from USB thumb drives.

There's a bit of misinformation in the comments so let me clarify things a little bit.įree Mcboot is basically an application launcher that you install on a PS2 Memory Card, when you start the PS2 with the memory card that has FMCB in it you get a different browser menu that let's you launch homebrew applications, some can be tools to copy/extract savestates, media tools, emulators or applications that let you play imports/backup games.ĭepending on how you want to play your imports/backup games you can use one of these applications: Ive been using a v12 SCPH-70012 slim PS2 with Swap Magic 3.8 discs.
