Well, how newer the game, so higher the chances of them performing additional checks!
Or buying Swap Magic 3.6 or 3.8 which allow You launch stuff from pendrive and doesn't need any trick to boot them on virgin console.Įmulation on PS2 is bad idea in the first place, especially in 2019 when we have cheap Android devices, x86 "sticks" or even PlayStation Classic which emulating much more than PS2 in much more better quality/accuracy. IMO it is worth a try to just buy memory card with FMCB installed (really, no shop sending to You?). I'm not sure if this is the best approach for You as there are plenty room for an user error without possibility to easily eliminate possible factors.
But this topic also demand from You knowledge about editing disc images without touching original LBA (because it is often used as security layer), correcting ECC and long never ending story of burning discs (which are very low quality these days). Mostly online games have such external apps which can be replaced. You can try swap trick with games which launch another executable just replacing this file by i.e uLE (file manager). As I remember only first quarter of the year have compatible firmware. To bad You cannot check just datacode on the back on sticker.
So is there any way of running homebrew apps and uLauchELF without a modchip/swapmagic ar max or code breaker. game backups are cool but not what i mainly intend to play on it. My end goal is to softmod it so i can play some NES/SNES/GBA games on my old CRT Samsung TV. Is there any exploit that i can take advantage of by ripping an iso off the disks modifying the elf files or something like that trick. Lara Croft Tom Raider The Angel of DarknessĪll of those games are PAL region by the way and work.Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 Mission: Las Vegum.I do own a handful of games if these perhaps help in running any exploit by any means. Have nothing against spending some cash for a pre-flashed memory card with freeMCB, or a swapmagic codebreaker AR and whatnot else but none of them will ship to where i live. and if it doesn't help even more i have no modchip put in it either. I know none of that string of texts will give me a valid answer determining the current bios of my system whether It's on 2.30 or lower.Īnother issue that i have to face is that i lack the prerequisite hardware/tools necessary to even get the freeMCB exploit menu to show up. The problem lies that the sticker underneath the console js torn and scraped off so unfortunately i can't provide you on any more information save for this screenshot that I took at the PS2s home menu. My PS2 is a stock SCPH-90004 PAL machine that has been bought circa 2008 and given to me by a friend of mine recently.
I know that it is a long process of trial and error when it comes to the 90K models with the majority of them not supporting FMCB whilst some lucky ones do depending on the data code and such. Having said that though, some things were a bit misleading.
While indeed i am a total noob to this PS2 hacking thing as I've never dealt with a sony console before (save for the PSP) I've done some research on the internet scouring the forums for an regarding freeMCboot ps2 backups, homebrews, mods and stuff of that manner, and I've gained some insight about them.
