I bought my ps2 already hard modded (pretty common practice here) but this is really good. I can't believe it's 2020 and people still find stuff for this console. Long live the ps2.
Nice video! On the side note, if your PS2 slim SCPH-90000 have modchip installed but unable to run FMCB, that means your console is just equipped with such plain ass modchip like Super7 which is only designed to run bootlegged backups. These kind of modchip should be removed first eg. desoldering the GND part for better Fortuna exploit experience.
ANSH GHAI hi can you teach me what are the files I need to download and transfer it to my memory card to play HDD or USB games. I have also 90004 series ps2. I hope you can help me thanks.
@@cappreview1435 hi Basically you need an already modded ps2. From there, copy fortuna files to the other memory card using ulaunch now that memory card can be inserted in 90004 and u can launch ulaunch and using opl play games
Pretty neat, I still have my silver slim ps2 that has FMBC on the memory card. Nowadays I just use my recently built gaming pc to emulate the ps2 games with PCSX2 since it handles pretty much any ps2 game.
@@rhtr. Of course the emulation is still broken, you need a high end PC to emulate PlayStation 2 without lag, and some games has important issues, like Black or Burnout 3 Takedown, and others minor issues, like Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast with the car selection issue, if you are looking for an excellent PlayStation 2 emulation, buy a PlayStation 4 and mod it to be able to use the PlayStation 2 emulator which is hidden in the SO of the console, meanwhile PC is too far away from an excellent PlayStation 2 emulation, PCSX2 should be working on a normal PC, not only on an expensive PC for gaming, let's see if the "Play!" emulator is able to fix those problems
@@PNAS27 you dumb bastard. I've got a i9900ks and RTX2080TI it emulates ps2 games in 4k upscale. Obviously if your pc is trash you will have issues. Stop chatting shit

This is good. I'm using this too with my scph-90004 I configured the ulaunchelf to boot esr when i press x after launch and boot opl when i press square, this is very simple.
hey man how do you get all the apps like opl etc to work from memory card slot 2 using free mcboot. I bought mine and its configured to only work from slot 1 and I dont understand the menus to adjust it. Thanks
Could you please explain how you got the initial files into your PS2 memory card? It's skipped over in the video and I am an amateur at this kind of thing.
@@chaden9498 He's done a video on how to install Fortuna using an even newer exploit called FreeDVDBoot, which is something you can use now. Basically you can just burn a special DVD with the exploit and then you'll get to uLaunchELF by inserting the DVD (follow his video on the topic for more details). Search "FreeDVDBoot Fortuna" from his channel and you should find the video. In case you were wondering, back when FreeDVDBoot didn't exist (i.e. when this comment was posted), I used a game swap trick to get uLaunchELF loaded (i.e. ripped the disc, modified one file, burned the new image to a blank DVD, and finally swapped the disc while it was spinning to the burned copy during startup) and from there could copy the files over (probably the most accessible method before FDVDB).
The secret of FORTUNA project is the date, if you want to edited FORTUNA folder (or file inside it) don't forget to set date to year 20XX (2099 would be best) to make FORTUNA file always on upper left side memory card.
Add this with dead CMOS battery (the dot didn't move) and you'll have a good time Everytime ps2 starts up with dead CMOS battery, time will be 1 jan 2000
imo if you still need to copy the files to an MC it doesn't make sense, bc you *still* need a modded PS2 to do that, anyway is good to see that the ps2 still gets homebrew development
When I did the exploit on a PS2 for the first time, I didn't have the actual Game Shark disc to get the files on the memory card. I had this USB Extreme disc though and that allowed me to load backups. I loaded a disc image of the Game Shark software and transferred the files that way. To this day I haven't seen anyone else use that method.

will the games run in full speed? especially during cutscenes? i tried using fmcboot on my ps2 slim but it lags during cutscenes.will the fortuna projecy will make the game from pen/flash drive run it in full speed?

Do you know where I could purchase a Swap Magic so i can run uLe and put fortuna onto my Memory card? I have a 9000 series so I can't use FMCB. I'd also be willing to buy a MC with fortuna on it off you depending on the price :)
@@thefallenwolf77 I have tried to get uLe working with Swap Magic but coudlnt do it (i have a pal ps2).

@@farhadakbari4335jeez just make sure you put your fortuna card in slot 2 and if you have other card use it as main card which i did or put it on slot 1
It's same process for any 9k series ps2. The most difficult part is how are you going to get fortuna project onto the memory card in the first place? I suggest you check out FreeDVDBoot videos.
@@__-jz2dk it seems that as soon as you WRITE anything including save games to the FORTUNA card is stops working..... im playing with a 2 x memory card work around, im using the fortuna card in slot "2" and another memory card in slot "1" with OPL and ESR on it and my save games so i dont have to write anything at all on the Fortuna card... ill post an update as i play with it
Actually the fix is on the forum: you need to have fortuna with the most futuristic date so it can be the first showing up on memory card. To do that go to settings on ps2 and set date to something like 2050. Then open fortuna for example from your second memory card and boot fortuna from first one and configure something so you can have fortuna in 2050 folder. When it's saved restart the console and change date back to normal. Enjoy!
The PC is needed to help download the homebrew files and get them ready for ps2, assuming your ps2 already has a way to boot homebrew. Once the homebrew is working, the PC isn't needed unless you use the PC to help find PS2 game images or rip them for proper OPL use on the PS2.

Not quite, you don't have the tools to do it, right? Best to buy it or find someone who can help mod. I've done it before and still sell premodded cards on ebay.
I've ps2 90004 with matrix 1.99 ,when i try to boot it on dev1 and press start to save , after i reboot it comes back to the way it was (auto) ,so free mc boot doesn't work
I read somewhere that clone matrix chips do that. Mine also does that, BUT, if i keep trying, like after 4 or 5 times of trying (maybe a few more). It saves the option selected. I dont know if my chip is original or not, but it does save the option after trying for a while. Also, i am pretty sure fmcb and matrix chip are not compatible. I have to turn chip matrix off so that free mcboot boots up. How you turn it off? press and hold the start button at the moment of powering your PS2 ON. A message will tell you the chip is off, just reset the console and ps2 will boot without it. FMCB should be ableto boot now. You need to do that everytime you want to turn the chip off.

To be honest, it’s much harder than what I did . I`ve just copied the BOOT file (i can add link if you want) to the memory card, and then (only relevant for people with the mod chip) launched chip menu and select a memory card in autoboot . Done . If you haven`t a mod chip you will need to push r1 button on 3 seconds every time on console start . And yeah you can add some programs in autoboot in launchELF. And one more tip - use new versions of OPL. In daily builds. They had almost completely solved the problem with cutscenes.
I wrote to the disk a program for accessing the file browser (something like ulaunch or it was ulaunch), after that you can use the disk swap method to start it. Then I copied the BOOT file to the memory card from my flash drive. After just press the r1 button on 3 second on the console launch. If a person has a mod chip, he can go to his menu and set a memory card as a way to startup@@ProjectPhoenixMedia

Quick update since you peaked my curiosity. I have a slim 75001 (shouldn't matter). Using ulaunchelf and my usb 2.0 8gb corsair thumb drive, I plugged it into the right usb slot (probably doesn't matter), and ran the "DUMPBIOIS-MASS.ELF" file. It dumped my bios fine after a few minutes. I noticed if I use the "ps2dumper.elf" file, I got the same message as you did...so use the other .elf file. Hope that works!

USB is slowest, consider internal hard drive for fat ps2 or smb method. If you have freedvdboot working, you could create self bootable ps2 disc games for certain ps2 types as another alternative, or get a modchip and play burnt discs is another solution too.

Your description says you provide FMB mem cards for a fee... Where and how do you do this?
You can always buy them from ebay if they have none on ebay us try ebay UK they cost about $6
will the games run in full speed? especially during cutscenes? i tried using fmcboot on my ps2 slim but it lags during cutscenes.will the fortuna projecy will make the game from pen/flash drive run it in full speed?
No, because your limitation is USB. You want better fmv speeds? Go SMB route.
Is this work on non magicgate console scph-90006?
Can you do a detailed tutorial on this? I got a 2012 ps2 so fmcb isnt an option for me
I have Ps2 90004 slim model.fix my problem in Ps2 usb pendrive is working but external hdd is not showing
Format the usb external properly as fat32 and install usb games accordingly
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia yes I did it but it’s not showing
I play game’s with usb pendrive. Please give me other instructions for detect usb hdd. Maybe it’s hdd casing problem but it’s working in my desktop
@@ProjectPhoenixMediaok tell me usb 2.0 or 3.0 hdd case. Which one will work?
Hi, nice tutorial. Can we play Ps1 ISO with this hack on Ps2 slim? Most Ps2 files r too big to store in SD card. Not sure portable HDD work.
The best way is use popstarter with the PS2 and OPL so the game is running from usb or smb, not a burnt disc. Portable hdd works or usb flash drives but I prefer portable hdd.
hand reveal nice
What's game compatibility like completely new to this gagin to get a ps2 running all my back up games
For OPL pretty good see the compatibility list at ps2-home.com
Do I put the FORTUNA_rev2.zip on usb or already extracted FORTUNA folder? tnx
Just the extracted FORTUNA folder on root. Game on.
Hello! I have a question about fortuna, becasue i did everything you have done and while clicking two times circle buttons on ps2 browser then its moving me to the ps2 menu. What i need to do to make this thing work? Please help me because i really want to have fortuna in my ps2 :o Thank you so much in advance
How did you install fortuna in first place? Does it retain the 2044 time stamp?
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia yea i installed fortuna in first place, then i've downloaded freemcboot, then i've did go to ps2 browser and i press circle 2 times and freemcboot is working, but when i'm (for example: Going to opl and playing a game) and when i restart the console then i don't know why instead of taking me to freemcboot menu it tooks me to normal ps2 menu pls help me dude i really want to have freemcboot (my ps2 model is scph-90004)
Your model cannot run FMCB sorry
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia :(
Yes I would be down to buy a card from you if the price was reasonable 😊
Do you know where I could purchase a Swap Magic so i can run uLe and put fortuna onto my Memory card? I have a 9000 series so I can't use FMCB. I'd also be willing to buy a MC with fortuna on it off you depending on the price :)
Get a memory card adapter instead. Swap Magic can be quite expensive now
@@newolku sweet I'll look into that
@@newolku Do you know anywhere I can buy an adapter? I cant seem to find them anywhere
@@thefallenwolf77 I have tried to get uLe working with Swap Magic but coudlnt do it (i have a pal ps2). There are ps2 to ps3 adapters (basically ps2 mem card to usb) but thye are rather expensive on ebay. Swap Magic discs are sold on ebay too, pal ones are bit more rare.
I feel like you should get someone to make a fortuna memory card for you. I also feel like fortuna mem cards will start eventually showing up on ebay like the fmcb ones are.
Wow, it works on PSTV?
i have a ps2 with scph 70001 5c is it compatible for fmcb
Will this work on a 128mb memory card, or does it have to be a licensed memory card?
It depends on the card all you can do is try, I cant install anything to my 128mb card (very cheap ebay)
Works on my clone 8 mb which says magicate but i dont think so
It just keeps going back to browser, help please :(
My ps2 can't read USB (fat32,ex fat and NTFS). I try it without fmcb.
Format it as NTFS first, and then use gui32format to format as fat32. Don't use usb 3.0 or 3.1 drive, use a 2.0 drive.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Thanks
Sony should give Patented for this method 😁
Hey!
Nice video! I was wondering,
I have a Slim PS2 from the 9000x models and I was asking myself how will I launch the Files for Fortuna if the 90000x models could not run FreeMcBoot?
If someone could help it would be awsome! Thank You! :)
@@camthesaxman3387 You mean FreeDVDBoot? Wich is essentialy burning the Files on a DVD-R?
Tutorial is coming.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Awsome! I was waiting for finally a tutorial on the 9000x models!
hello sir! its me again my ps2 works fine but some games are being lag and some games doesnt work at all. how do i fix this?
I got 90004 running OPL without FMCB but i will try this new method. thanks.
Hi, I install fortuna project in my ps2 scph-90004 but sometime the ps2 try to format memory card, I don't know what can I do?
Please help me
How do you make ps2 format the memory card? Never had that on my system.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I try play pes 20 game in my ps2 fortuna mode and after first save my mc formatted 😞
Never had that before, reinstall Fortuna.
@@farhadakbari4335jeez just make sure you put your fortuna card in slot 2 and if you have other card use it as main card which i did or put it on slot 1
How can I fix mine if I can't open my uLaunchELF?
How did you get uLaunchELF to run previously?
Can it run on PS2 slim 90004 2D, 2009 models ?
Yes it was made for this.
Hey... Can you make tutorial from begining for ps2 90006?
It's same process for any 9k series ps2. The most difficult part is how are you going to get fortuna project onto the memory card in the first place? I suggest you check out FreeDVDBoot videos.
On 90004 it worked for a few times and suddenly it stopped working :( even new files or another memory card didn't help
Okay so the fix is to delete all files and folders except fortuna but should it be like that?
@@__-jz2dk it seems that as soon as you WRITE anything including save games to the FORTUNA card is stops working..... im playing with a 2 x memory card work around, im using the fortuna card in slot "2" and another memory card in slot "1" with OPL and ESR on it and my save games so i dont have to write anything at all on the Fortuna card... ill post an update as i play with it
it seems to have the desired effect on both my SCPH-90004
Actually the fix is on the forum: you need to have fortuna with the most futuristic date so it can be the first showing up on memory card. To do that go to settings on ps2 and set date to something like 2050. Then open fortuna for example from your second memory card and boot fortuna from first one and configure something so you can have fortuna in 2050 folder. When it's saved restart the console and change date back to normal. Enjoy!
I stopped working somehow so i did it myself
So you have to have a pc to play games without a disc?
The PC is needed to help download the homebrew files and get them ready for ps2, assuming your ps2 already has a way to boot homebrew. Once the homebrew is working, the PC isn't needed unless you use the PC to help find PS2 game images or rip them for proper OPL use on the PS2.
will this work on my SCPH-90007?
Fortuna project works for all ps2 slim consoles! For those in the USA who wants one, I have limited quantities for sale.

@@ProjectPhoenixMedia hi sir is my ps2 slim is compatible for free mcboot? The model is scph 75004 6b please answer me sir i really need your answer
I don't have the mcboot memory card . Can i still download it and transfer the data to my original memory card?
Not quite, you don't have the tools to do it, right? Best to buy it or find someone who can help mod. I've done it before and still sell premodded cards on ebay.
Project Phoenix Media How can I find you on eBay? I’d like to purchase a card.
I'd like to see this working on PS TV.
I've ps2 90004 with matrix 1.99 ,when i try to boot it on dev1 and press start to save , after i reboot it comes back to the way it was (auto) ,so free mc boot doesn't work
I read somewhere that clone matrix chips do that. Mine also does that, BUT, if i keep trying, like after 4 or 5 times of trying (maybe a few more). It saves the option selected. I dont know if my chip is original or not, but it does save the option after trying for a while.
Also, i am pretty sure fmcb and matrix chip are not compatible. I have to turn chip matrix off so that free mcboot boots up. How you turn it off? press and hold the start button at the moment of powering your PS2 ON. A message will tell you the chip is off, just reset the console and ps2 will boot without it. FMCB should be ableto boot now.
You need to do that everytime you want to turn the chip off.

To be honest, it’s much harder than what I did . I`ve just copied the BOOT file (i can add link if you want) to the memory card, and then (only relevant for people with the mod chip) launched chip menu and select a memory card in autoboot . Done . If you haven`t a mod chip you will need to push r1 button on 3 seconds every time on console start . And yeah you can add some programs in autoboot in launchELF. And one more tip - use new versions of OPL. In daily builds. They had almost completely solved the problem with cutscenes.
I wrote to the disk a program for accessing the file browser (something like ulaunch or it was ulaunch), after that you can use the disk swap method to start it. Then I copied the BOOT file to the memory card from my flash drive. After just press the r1 button on 3 second on the console launch. If a person has a mod chip, he can go to his menu and set a memory card as a way to startup@@ProjectPhoenixMedia
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia If you need this BOOT file i can leave a link . You just will need a burned disc with browser program like ulaunch
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Here it is . You need to copy that into memory card in folder . File should be in folder

SIR HOW TO DIRECT OPL BOOT NO USING ULAUNCH ELF
THANKS FOR ANSWER
Use FMCB configurator to add OPL in FMCB menu.
Maybe if you rename the boot file as OPL but that is going to break the time stamp...try it.
Hey thanks for the card but I’m stuck on how to use it to be able to play PS2 games on the pc? Anyone know? Thanks!
PS2 games on PC, look up a pcsx2 tutorial on google or youtube. I don't have a video as I prefer to play on my ps2 consoles, but best of luck!
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia that video you sent was awesome. I got it all the way up to dumping the bios but it’s saying “waiting for usb mass drive to be ready” any ideas? You’ve been so helpful and I really appreciate it!
I see there are two different .elf files. If one isn't working, try the other one? pcsx2.net/download/releases/tools/category/9-tools.html
Quick update since you peaked my curiosity. I have a slim 75001 (shouldn't matter). Using ulaunchelf and my usb 2.0 8gb corsair thumb drive, I plugged it into the right usb slot (probably doesn't matter), and ran the "DUMPBIOIS-MASS.ELF" file. It dumped my bios fine after a few minutes. I noticed if I use the "ps2dumper.elf" file, I got the same message as you did...so use the other .elf file. Hope that works!
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia did what you suggested and got it dumped! You are awesome 👏 and damn you have a ton of helpful videos! Thanks again for the card and all the help. Definitely will be watching for new videos!
SCPH-90004 0d will it work?
Yes that is why this was made.
Hi.
Who's dev of this HB ?
I don't recall off hand but he's at ps2 home forums
This is cool but i rather just use my free MCBOOT
At least you have a pre-9000x slim or a fat ps2, if you get one that fmcb doesn't work on you'll have to come back here.
:)
Not work with ps2 slim 90004
not all ps2 slim work with fortuna
I don't think that is a true statement, it was made for 9k PS2. You can ask for help at psx-place.com and see whats up.
I keep getting currupted data on my memorycard
And this is bothering you because why? You do realize this is how Fortuna Project works, right?
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Sorry i got it to work. It didn't laugh because the date kept resetting
The game PS2 is very slow why?
USB is slowest, consider internal hard drive for fat ps2 or smb method. If you have freedvdboot working, you could create self bootable ps2 disc games for certain ps2 types as another alternative, or get a modchip and play burnt discs is another solution too.
