That 64mb Storage was a dream to like many gamers in 2000
Yeah that is a fact.
Even 8mb was not enough when you got a good collection 🤨
Yes, I bought a ps2 with an 8 and 2 years later I still got hella storage
@@isaac2bands I had 153 games how much did u got
@Jimmy Plumber oh yeah
Yeah you could storage your entire game library's save files
Man this is just freaking awesome! 😀I was going to get a ps5 as soon as lockdown ends and the shops reopen again, but I'm just going to get this instead, enjoy all the classics and wait till Ps5 comes down in price. I'm going to order a good condition fat PS2, an HDMI adapter, the mcboot memory card with sata adapter, a ps1 memory card and an extra controller with 2 extension lead cables. I'm going to put a couple of hundred of the best ps1 games and around 500 of the best PS2 games on a 2 tb hard drive. Thanks for the inspiration wicked! 😀👍
@@wadewilson6628 Depends which country he's from obviously haha
The combination of FreeMcBoot and a hard drive seems the ideal mod for the PS2 FAT.
Its also possible on the slim but that requires soldering a ide cable to the motherboard and only on the 7000 models. I been looking into trying that.
@@batterypwrlow
It is, right...!
It still requires an FMCB-MC to boot it though.
@@batterypwrlow I didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip.
What does this do?
@@MustangGuy2000 run emulators, download homebrew, run backups of games you own...
I've been running my PS2 games from a 400 GB IDE hard drive for about 8 years now. I agree that configuring everything is a royal PITA, but once you have everything right, it's well worth it.
Yeah it's a great way to play those games do you use OPL or that Backup Loader ?
@@WickedGamerCollector I do use OPL, mainly the official stable release. I use the daily build sporadically 'cause I do't trust its stability that much. Once I learn how to configure my hard drive to play PS1 games, I'll use the daily build more often. Have a good one!
So I'm interested in getting into the hard drive thing later, , but for now I have some American PlayStation games, and a Japanese PlayStation 2 phat. Will this McBoot allow me to play my American CD PlayStation 2 games?
@@modernNeanderthal800 Yes
@@jaxcyl1-t4b thanks!
I've had troubles with ISO files crashing like with the original Jack and Daxter.
I've also had problems with hands lagging just a little like in Baulders gate.
Any advice/ suggestions? I have upgraded to a 1TB hard drive, but maybe the read speeds are too slow
i bought a PS2 at goodwill today surpisingly it had the network adapter with it i couldnt say no lol
Nice! Did it have a hard drive inside too? Or was it a slim?
Unfortunately no HDD< I thought it might have been moded all ready so thats why I bought it
I put my own inside though
I bought a FreeMCBoot memory card a while ago and it's hands down the best thing I spent money on. One thing I was also able to use it for was to make a copy of my PS2 bios and use it on PCSX2. that's specifically why I got the memory card. Then I found out about playing PS2 games from a micro SD card with the MC2SIO memory card. And the coolest thing about it, it doesn't need to be chipped
I ordered one is is much more complicated than putting Isos on the usb and playing?
@@wilfredwayne7139I don’t even know if you can do that, I’m super confused too. I think you have to have the original copy of the game to put it on a DVDR disc and put some shit in it called ESR and then you can play the game (if that is the case that’s super gay) . I bought a copy of Silent Hill 3 that someone tried to sell as a ‘reproduction copy’ and I couldn’t get that to work, I plugged in an FMCB card I bought from Ebay and tried to play the disc from the main menu of the FMCB but the ps2 couldn’t read it, so I’m confused as to wether this ‘reproduction copy’ of Silent Hill 3 actually has ESR patched on it already or not.. super weird
Note: The USB option for the Slim model is a bad idea, because some games require high bandwidth to stream FMV in full speed which will stutter. A mini-router with SMB server capability (that includes a USB port) is great to stream games directly into the Etherenet port on the back of the Slim console, as well as migrate it hassle-free to any other another PS2 console, provided you've got the appropriate FMCB card or mod chip ready.
One important issue I would stress is make sure memory card is magic gate. My FMCB magic gate card is problem free. Non magic gate fmcb card has hiccup and other non magic gate card won't accept FMCB- Non compatible so for trouble free, stick with magic gate cards. I followed youtube tutorials on how to make your own FMCB card from internal hard drive and from other FMCB card and that's what I learned and was stressed!!! I swear by my 64mb memory card in first slot for game saves. 1.966 FMCB magic gate card in second slot. 500 GB sata card plugged in by network adapter. FMCB OPL to play games off of sata card. Never knew phat ps2 was so great!!!!
I am trying to play a ps2 game that I bought in Japan. I’ve plugged in the fmcb into my silver ps2, but I have no idea where to go from there. And the game still doesn’t work. P.S my ps2 was purchased in Australia. Are you able to assist?

Little tip connect the hd to the pc and use winhip to install on the drive, rip the iso on pc it's much quicker and saves the ps2 laser.

There were many different MB variations for the PS2 Memory Card in 2000 besides the 8MB. The 16MB, 32MB, and as usual the 64MB, and finally the 128MB. But some people tend to have problems with the 16, 32, 64, and 128MBs such as taking forever to load a game or cheat code enhancer disc.
The problems came from the fact Sony only officially made 8mb cards. Any memory cards that aren't 8mb are third party and not made by sony so they might be less reliable.
If it is Magic Gate memory card 64mb it's same time load then 8mb original Sony(by Magic Gate), the worst card is named "Max memory" from Datel even the 16 mb has loading times twice as long (to be avoided!, I was disappointed at the time to have bought it when they appeared on the market), as well as other brands than magic gate which I think are the only ones to be the fastest, even with a large memory. I bought mine in China but magic gate brand 64mb and the loading is fast, identical to the original 8mb, which both have fmcb installed. Depend of the brand...
You can also repair a corrupt card in slot 2 thanks to the fmcb installer of an fmcb card in slot 1, 100% reliable. You can delete the corrupted (damaged) saves, and keep your other games' saves intact. It should be known, from what I understand, is that many have thrown away their corrupted cards, and/or have become enraged at not having their backup (150h FF X for example). The only way is to go through the FMCB installer to remove these files.
@@reasonable78 sony never made memory cards
Cool N all got the full shabang setup myself, but nothing can beat physical CIB copies with artwork, game manuals and guidebooks
It depends... Of course an original game is better than any copy (I am a collector myself.), BUT it CAN "beat" originals in any other way, like short loading-times; access to the whole collection without using any disc; not wearing out the laser; ability to use VMC, PADEMU, IGR, IGS, Cheats and so on...
@@tnaplastic2182 True. Not so sure if having access to the full library is a pro or con, personally I tend to get bored since there is too much stuff to choose from, and having everything at my finger tips destroy the purpose of going out hunting best value for the cheapest price, but that's just me. And if you are a sucker for OG artworks like for example level-5 studio stuff, it's a tufff battle. Most likely the deffo package is to have best of both worlds so to speak
All videos make me smile. Your so funny. "but first a litle bit of ASRM"
Yeah I highly recommend the Original PS2 over the Slim any day just because of the Hard drive bay at the back, a internal HDD will always be better than using a external HDD on the PS2, you have to remember this is a video game console released in the year 2000, the UsB ports are only 1.0
👍
I've found a Network Adapter for very cheap in a pawn shop. Nowdays, i moved out in France but i brought my PS2 with it, along with the Network Adapter, an Hard Drive and most of my games stored on it.
Recently got a PS2 Slim for free since someone was just going to toss it out. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be able to read discs. I was hopeful it was simply the mechanism that detects if the lid is shut that was the problem, but the laser assembly also seems to be damaged. Still, while I won't be able to use the system to create a McBoot Memory Card, the prices for them are quite reasonable even compared to blank memory cards. This will also give me the option of using my original Phat (which has a hard time reading dual layer DVDs) and doing an something like an IDE to SATA to solid state solution. I've also heard that network storage is a decent option, so whichever way I go about things, it will breathe new life into these systems.
Doesn’t need to read discs , Only display matters if your using Mcboot and SD card
@@winstonchurchill5731 Exactly, that's why it's a good option for my systems with bad drives.
can't wait for the next video!
Hey luv your videos question would this work on the original Japan consoles?
It should work with all fat ps2's so it should work for an original , if by original you mean the first model
I have one of these, using a Hard Drive is better than using a thumb drive. With a thumb drive, FMV can be a bit choppy.
Both can be choppy!
It depends on:
-OPL version
-game
-PS2-Version (DECKARD-PS2s are often/usually a bit faster!)
@@tnaplastic2182 I have smb and planning to move to hdd at some point but usb can be fun to mess around with, seeing how many games you can fit into a small flash drive and seeing which one has stuttering and which ones don't :b
but how come deckard ps2s run slightly better?
@@elitheothercomputerguy5436
Their IOP (secondary CPU, usually used for I/O) is emulated on an LSI-Logic PPU (called "DECKARD"), which is an inside-joke referring to a fan-theory regarding the character "Rick Deckard" (Harrison Ford) [who hunts and kills replicants] in "Blade Runner", which indicate/point to Deckard being a replicant himself! LOL! :'-D )
So... That emulation seems to be faster in some instances and slower in others.
Just wondering how the SMB share (playing games over network on the slim) compare to the internal HDD on the fat PS2.
edit: found some interesting info for anyone interested.
*HDD ATA interface: ATA-66 (Roughly 66MB/s).
*Ethernet interface: 100Mbit (Or 12.5MB/s).
*USB 1.1 interface: 12Mbit (~1.5 MB/s).
*CD/DVD drive: 24x speed CD-ROM [3.6 MB/s], 4x speed DVD-ROM [5.28 MB/s].
The ethernet at 12.5MB/s is still considerably a lot slower than the PS2's internal HDD's 66MB/s, but faster than USB 1.1 and even the DVD. That's if games actually do load at 12.5MB/s. 🤔
It's not 12 mbps. It's faster than USB a Lot faster but nothing like I've seen in the videos of HDD I'm so jealous hahaha
Another downside is that I've found certain games that don't work on SMB. (For example many Splinter cell games don't work in SMB idk why)
Brook ps3/Ps4 to PS2 adapter is really great.
It cost $40 but it works perfectly and let's you use ps3 or ps4 controllers wireless on ps2.
Just be sure to connect the adapter to pc to update the adapters firmware.
The adapter can be found on Amazon.
There's a raspberry pi image that will let you boot games from the network on ps2 slim. This works much better and fixes the loading issues!
You can configure your ps2 to do the same via opl
I use a mini router with USB 2.0 that has SMB sharing. The Raspberry Pi is more expensive.
DOA2 and SSX lots of childhood memories there :)
same here ! 🙌
I thought the card has the games. Didn't know I have to download them separately
You can use opl to play games off a network drive and that's much faster than the old USB ports
For the people that dont know this, but not all slim and fat models work with the freemcboot card. Sony patched this in the bios on some models
about 5%, since many (at least in the european market) never really went online
1) All Fat models work with FMCB. It's some of the later Slim models that have been patched (I think the the last slim model compatible with FMCB out of the box was the 75000x).
2) There are alternative solutions that can be used to soft mod the later models (Fortuna, FunTuna, etc.).
@@AmartharDrakestone not all fat models work with free mcboot I have 3 and the only that works is my 5000 series fat
@@anno5936 The patch wasn't done online. It was done in house before they were shipped
@@kzfive so most likely as part of a repair ? That would actually make sense...
On a Slim, don't use an external HDD. It's way better to just configure it to run over LAN.

Nice video
I got a phatie for free but was kinda dummed when I realized I needed to burn a disc with freedvd
I bought a memory card and hopefully it will work
I made a few of the Free McBoot Memory Cards and even had the PS2 running games from a Hdd, very slow
My Oldest son has that PS2 and all the extra stuff
What does this even do? I see no explanation?
got like bundle of these laying around faulty, well as long as the mainboard works i would just grab one plug it on the network. got a crappy router somewhere with an external attached to it and fires up OPL. works like a dream. Coupled with component out for better quality, awesome stuff. Use to play some divx files from back it the day but now mostly emulators.

Many different ways by the way 👌
I have this free mcboot ps2 modded..i love that i can play many good ps2 games from back in the day. 👍
how does your game look so good? what kind of cables are you using
There is interesting Chinese network style adaptor I came across a year or 2 back on aliexpress. It works like the standard cheapo adapter but it also has a USB slot built into the back. So not only can ypu run games off hard drive but you can put USB sticks into the back as well. And it's USB 2.0 as well so ypu shouldn't experience the issues ypu would with the built in USB ports on ps2. The adapter is a lit more expensive than the standard cheapo version though. Another benefit of booting games from a hard drive is you can also use some of its space for game saves as well. So no need for a memory card anymore. For ps2 slim you can use the ethernet connection and boot games from your pc over local network. Iv never used that method myself though but I imagine it would allow for faster transfer speeds than the built in USB port. Mr. Mario on this here youtube has an excellent tutorial on how to set up all aspects of free mcboot. Tech James has some useful tutorials also. I found both of those invaluable for modding my ps2
FMB mem cards can be created using 1st party mem cards. There's an option to create them, as long as you have one already.... Buy one, make as many as you need. The FMB mem cards can still be used to save games, too.
That thing has a name, but I can't find it right now.
It also does NOT work like any other adapter, because it needs some special software!
There is no need for a PC either, but only an SMB-Share-providing device!
@@TexasHollowEarth There is no "FMB" but only "FMCB", "FHDB" or "FDVDB" or all of them combined "FDB" ("Free ~device~ Boot).
No... You do NOT need to have an FMCB-MC already, to create another one... There are MULTIPLE other ways.
@@tnaplastic2182 untill relitively recently it was major pain in the arse to make your own fmb memory card though. Nowhere an option to patch discs to run on certain models of ps2 so they dont even require free mcboot.you can patch a boot loader? Disc and create a free mcboot card from that so no need to open up your ps2 these days. Like most people i just bought a pre loaded memory card off ebay though. I just made sure that i copied free mcboot over to the hard drive so if my memory card did corrupt at any point i could just make another one from the free mcboot already on the hdd. Realy i dont even need a fmb memory card or even a memory card as its all installed and runs from hdd now. But as the memory card is a flash device free mcboot runs slightly faster from that than it does from the mechanical hard drive.

5. No... The disc-drive does NOT need to be removed for an internal HDD mod, in a Slim.
6. No... A MemoryCard is not "burned"... Only optical recordable media are!
7. No... FMCB/FHDB does NOT rip (which actually means "making it smaller", while you probably mean "dumping") anything, nor copy anything on it's own... nor does it have anything to do with any "boot options".
Can you use the fmcb memory card to play disc backups without having an external hard drive on the slim?
I'm not interested in storing games or using emulation, I have a xbox for that.
I just want to use game disc backups.

Yes It can used with disc backups
Are these mcboot cards plug and play or do I need a pc to use it? I don’t really understand the other tutorials on RUclips because they all seem to be “how to install free mcboot to a card” but not “how to use mcboot card”. I don’t have one so maybe it is plug and play for ps2 games.
So I just bought a Japanese PS2. Will I need this to play the American games? And will I need to keep this in to play them forever?

Hello,
First of all I have slim version and all I need is a memory card from the link and some external HDD, is that correct?
Thanks for reply
What else can it do besides rip your games on the HDD?
DVD backups patched for ESR, putting the games on a usb is not recommended.
So if I get this and put it in a ps2 slim it will allow me to play a ps1 game via component to hdmi on a new hdtv? Cause I tried putting in a ps1 game in today via component and it went to no signal but plays all my ps2 games fine .
This is cool and I have a fat ps2 with an internal hard drive using the newtork adapter with freemcboot.Only problem is a handful of ps2 games dont work for some reason and the emulation isnt very good for retro consoles.Only NES and older really run right,everything else runs slow and you cant do much about it
PS2 doesn't do great for emulation. Some PS2 games, like Capcom vs SNK 2 need some of the OPL (per game) options enabled to get the music to play. Some Ratchet & Clank games need them enabled just to run. There is a reference chart online on what options to enable on certain games to get them to boot in OPL.
"Only NES and older really run right" what? you are wrong,
SNES and Genesis (Mega Drive) work fine,there is even an Neo Geo emulator that works fine. I've used them all and still do play with emulators on the PS2 from time to time.

It's not the PS2's fault, but the developers fault... The emulators are just not optimized to the hardware but only ported!

For an added layer of drive options with the network card adapter, getting an ide or sata to SD or microSD card adapter?
How does all this work with normal save files? Anything different? Save states? Or just like normal with the memory card in the other slot for saves?
Thanks for asking. I was wondering the same thing.

what are you using, is it a pc monitor or a led tv, can you tell me the type of samsung it is?
Can you show loading times using a USB drive? Also,I think it's worth noting that they sell the SATA adapters to replace the IDE connection on the official ethernet adapter so that you can still go online. The aftermarket SATA Ethernet adapters they sell don't let you go online.
Why would you go online ? There no games to play like that.

Been using free mcboot for a while now and its v good
I have my fat PS2. I never jailbreak it or modded it. Never done any modifications. Always played on CDs. I'm thinking of jailbreak. I don't know much about it. I want it in a way where I start my PS2 and I have a list of games installed where I can play directly. Is that possible? Would be happy for a reply.
You can use OPL and with Phat slap a HDD in it so you don't need to hardware mod you system.
@@WickedGamerCollector Thank you.
It is not pronounced "Free MacBoot". MC is short for memory card. Like... You do say "Mac-Card Slot One" do you? The correct name is: Free Memory Card Boot.
Can you use this memory card on to American PS2 just to play Japanese PS2 games
Hi thank you so much for this video explainer, quick questions, can you use downloaded ps1 games with this method as well? Also, can you play roms such as snes, sega genesis, n64 roms etc from the hard drive too? And how does it work with multi disc ps1 & ps2 games, does it run like a regular ps2? And finally, do you know how to transfer save games from another ps2 memory card onto an fmcb one, or is it best not to have save games on that memory card?
You can indeed play PS1 games only this needs an other methode to install the games.
And if works with all games I don't know for sure.
Retro gaming it's possible with some 8 or 16-bit games only going full retro mode it's a no go.
@@WickedGamerCollector If you take the modded memory card out of the ps2 could you still play legit ps1 discs as normal from the dvd drive?
Tsk I just saw 1 yesterday and I regret that I didn't buy it. What emulators can it play?
I bought the 64mb variation after putting it in it did not launch FMCB by itself. I clicked on browse and looked what was on the memory card. after that I press O to exit and the menu opened. I turned it off and got my USB out to put games on it. I put Need for speed most wanted on it and put the USB back in powerd the PlayStation again. and now I doesn't open de FMCB menu anymore.
Could you help me?
I should google :) , but when getting the mods for the fat model so you can have games on a sata drive, what are the options for transferring games to the harddisk? First probably format the HD a certain way (fat32?), then before installing into the ps2, hook it up as an external drive to your pc so you can drag & drop iso's? Can you use a FTP program to connect the ps2 with your pc? Are there options on the free mc boot card to rip games from the dvd drive onto the installed harddrive?
I got mine setup with FreeMC Boot and a network adapter and a IDE hard drive
A solution which is over 12 1/2 years old, is still the best solution to hack MOST PS2s, hehe! 😊👍
For a console that is about 20 years old... not before long and it is old enough to legally have a drink in English-speaking countries 😏
How did you store games in hard drive? and whats format?
What is the max HDD capacity you are able to use?
I bought a ps2 off of my cousin and whenever I click on open ps2 loader, it says the hard disk isn't detected but it was just working at my cousins house idk what to do and I suck with stuff like this
I by mistake opened simple media system now it's not showing any option plzz help 😭
Can This be used to play ps1 games as well?
i got this type but i stuffed up i dont have those options no more how do i get them back
I New it exits,But I’m not a fan of setting it up with ISO’s and configuring.
I bought a freeMcBoot memory card a while back and it has all the files but the ps2 isn’t booting into FreeMcBoot am I missing a step?
I just got the same combo of the fmcb card and PS2 to HDMI from ali and neither work.
