yeah, but freedvdboot is discontinued since august 2020 afaik, and it only works for slims, it doesn't work many models of phat/fat (example: 2.13E and 3.02E are not supported, still).... and the developers don't seem interested in fix that or to provide updates (guess they're tired of wasting DVD's, lol) or so it seems since the many requests on their github page received no answer. I think many people will wait in vain. Too bad, it looked really promising.Originally Posted by bobdrakkex
I just solved my problem anyway days ago with swap magic, borrowed from a friend of mine, and UlaunchElf homebrew disc. I had to screw the ps2 drive a bit, but it worked, magically.
From there I used the guides on the internet to install fmcb with USB and voilà. problem solved....
... but I think there should be still an option for using a modded PS1 as system to install FMCB... people say, true, all the elf executable is more than a ps1 mem capacity, but I think that a bunch of code can be shrinked to the necessary. Let's not kill all hopes... it could be a nice work of hobby for some modders, they can take inspiration from my idea.
