Catastrophic Perfectly Normal. FreeMcboot will work fine on all Fat models. There are four different ways to play backups using FMCB: ESR patched burns, through HDD with network adapter (Fat only), through ethernet and through USB.

Preface[edit]
This is an Free Memory Card Boot (FMCB) installer. It was previously known as the 'Unofficial FMCB v1.8C' installer.
No part of it was directly re-used from FMCB v1.7 itself, but parts of it were based or referenced from the code of FMCB v1.7.
The files in the fmcb-install folder are from Jimmikaelkael's PS3MCA project. Of course, I didn't include the questionable files which Sony claimed as a breach of their copyright.
Since FMCB v1.9 was born, the FMCB installer has been used for installing FMCB.
How To Use[edit]
- Download the archive linked to in the downloads section
- Extract the contents into a USB Mass Storage device (e.g. USB thumb drive, HDD).
- Launch the installer with your PlayStation 2 console
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Install | Performs a normal installation of FMCB |
| Multi-Install | Performs a 'multi' installation of FMCB. A multi-installation can boot on all consoles of any region, and not only on the console it was installed with. |
| Uninstall FMCB | Removes a normal installation of FMCB from a memory card. |
| Uninstall MI | Uninstalls a multi-installation, turning it back into a normal FMCB installation. |
| Format MC | Formats a Memory Card. |
| Dump MC | Dumps a Memory Card to an image installer's directory. |
| Restore MC | Restores a Memory Card from an image located in the installer's directory. |
| Shutdown | Switches off the Playstation 2 console. |
| Exit | Exits the installer and returns back to the OSDSYS menu. |
Known Bugs[edit]
Known bugs:
- None
Known limitations:
- Some USB devices (i.e. Kingston) are known to be incompatible with PlayStation 2 homebrew software. To avoid a loss of data, please do not use them to store dumps from your memory cards.
Additional Notes[edit]
I've spent slightly over a hundred hours working on this, and I hope that it works well.... but of course, anything could go wrong - so I have provided a memory card dumping and restoration facility within the installer.
A dump of a memory card in slot 1 will get saved as mc0.bin, and a dump of a card in slot 1 will get saved as mc1.bin. The file will be saved to the directory where the main executable of this installer resides in. Caution! You can only make one dump of a card from each port. Making additional dumps will overwrite the previous dump.
Supported installation media:
- USB devices only
Warnings Against Potential Pitfalls
!!! WARNING !!! If you make a multi-install, do not delete any of the B*EXEC-SYSTEM folders or any of the OSD*.elf files inside them! Doing so might result in SEVERE data loss. Do not delete uninstall.dat from the SYS-CONF folder either, or you will probably be stuck with the multi-install files forever.
Lastly, read the included README file for more details.
Notes Regarding The Sources[edit]
The sources have been released. :) Check out the downloads section below.
Within the sources, I have created:
- SECRMAN, a clone of the Sony Security Manager (SECRMAN) module that has card-binding functions (SecrDownload*).
- SECRSIF, a clone of the Sony Security Manager SIF RPC server.
- MCTOOLS, a RPC server module that provided misceallenous functions for the memory cards like dumping and restoration, and filesystem manipulation.
- UDNL, the Updater module. Used for updating the IOP with newer modules (Which is only SECRMAN for this installer).
Hopefully, they will be useful for the homebrew community after their release.
