Free McBoot v1.91 released (PS2 Softmod) Here you can discuss things that are not directly related to running or using XBMC4XBOX. 14 posts • Page 1 of 1. (I have not try it) you should be able to install the softmod on a memory card, put a NES emulator and 1 or 2 games. Go at a friend house, put the memory card in, and play Mario.
Let's get this out of the way first. Any time you are working on a PlayStation 2 fat system you should always pull the plug and wait a couple minutes before you begin any work. The PlayStation 2 hereafter referred to as the PS2 has a fuse that is easily blown if you detach and reattach the network adapter while the system has any power. To get started we need the following parts. Please note that I do not endorse any of these sellers nor do I receive any money from the sale of these products. Hardware:.
1 Official PS2 Network Adapter You could try a bootleg from Aliexpress but the build quality is questionable. 1 IDE 3.5 to IDE 2.5 converter Power on the side is required to make sure the adapter will fit. 1 44 Pin 2.5' Male IDE to SD Card Adapter. 8Gb or higher MicroSDHC card with adapter. PS2 Memory card with FreeMcBoot 1.93 or higher installed.
(You can buy these from Amazon or Ebay. You can also make your own.) Software:. WinHIIP 1.76 or other PS2 utility (Used to format MicroSDHC card and install games.). Software to create ISO images from your PS2 DVDs/CDs. (Just need something that will create an image file.ISO or.BIN/.Cue) Let's start with FreeMcBoot.
FreeMcBoot is a soft mod that allows you to run applications without the use of a modchip. When a memory card with FreeMcBoot is inserted in to a PS2 it allows you to run applications. When the memory card is removed the PS2 returns to stock configuration. For our purposes FreeMcBoot allows us to run an application called Open PS2 loader. Open PS2 loader is as the name suggests an application to load PS2 games from any region and in our case off the MicroSDHC card. You may be wondering why we aren't using using the USB ports on the front of the PS2. The USB ports are USB 1.1 this means that running games off them will be slow and cutscenes will be choppy.
The other reason we are using a MicroSDHC is future proofing. IDE hard drives like CRT TVs are becoming a rarity and it will be harder and harder to find working ones. By using a MicroSDHC we are eliminating all moving parts from the PS2 ensuring longevity. If you ever want to increase the hard drive capacity just buy a larger MicroSDHC card.

With the hardware assembled we can focus on the software. Insert your MicroSDHC or MicroSDHC and adapter into your Windows computer. Start up WinHiip as Administrator and select the MicroSDHC card. Format the MicroSDHC card. Use add images to load your PS2 DVD/CD images on to your newly formatted MicroSDHC card. Once you have loaded your DVD/CD images on to your memory card remove it in place it in to the Male IDE to SD Card Adapter. You can now connect the PS2 network adapter to the back of your PS2 and plug in the cables.
