Every time I heard the "Operation complete" chime I kept saying to myself "Hi, I'm Paul" from the end of a Jimmy Neutron episode. Sure shit it's the same jingle
It's actually a stock midi sample. I heard it before D.N.A. productions used it in their end logo. Can't remember where, though. I think I might of heard it in an edutainment game, maybe the autorun for it.
Tried burning the disc, ps2 wouldnt read it.... I was quick to figure out the problem though.. it was imgburn. Used the default windows burner & it worked fine. Solution: dont use imgburn.
Thanks for this tutorial! I really wanted to try out PS2 homebrew but I wasn't around to getting a FMB memory card to carry over to my other cards, but thank god this exploit exists and it gets rid of the hassle. Glad I have too many blank CD/DVD's lying around.
If anyone got this working on a 9k series, let me know. Very interested what model, what is your dvd player version, and your ps2 datecode. Otherwise, this is awesome development for a console that is over 20 years old. Are you going to try this out? Let us know, and happy gaming! Note: This is only one method of many to mod your PS2, so pick whatever method is best for you! Update: For whatever reason, the hybrid disc does not work for my SCPH-9001, DVD player version 3.11U. However, if I use the 3.11 pre-built ISO, then it does work. Nice!
Jorge Ignacio Cisneros Saldaña I know modern warfare but I have ps4 without jailbreak, under this condition modern warfare makes me sad :/ I am still waiting for a ps4 jailbreak.
Just to give an update for the hybrid DVD boot, I was able to boot my 90004 slim with DVD version 3.11E using not DVD-R or DVD+R but with my 10 years old verbatim DVD-RW disk. My Date code is 0D.
as of developers says, if you have a error pertaining of a disc read error, that means its not a FreeDVDBoot's fault, its your console refusing to read the disc (probably laser related problem). the only expected thing happen if the exploit fails is either black screen or playback halted due to malfunction. It is also confirmed that all PS2 Slims are supported including the PS2 TV.
I know eveyone doesn't believe me but I tried this 2 years ago before this went viral. It was just "luck" for me I guess. I was struggling to find some blank DVD's to burn uLaunchELF v4.43a DVD because I was desperate to install mcboot by myself and hoping my SCPH 77001 will read burned discs without modded or swap trick. It worked! (Not kidding) I didn't even bother checking my DVD version either because I thought it didn't matter. I was actually shocked about this because this is really similar to the one I've did. Oh well, hoping this works on all models in the future. Love the community!
A vanilla PS2 doesn't just read a ulaunchelf disc and boot it up normally, at least not that ones I know of. They all give me the red screen of death. Are you sure this ps2 doesn't have a modchip installed without your knowledge? Whatever the case maybe, its water under the bridge. Glad this solution from a well known security engineer is out in the wild for all of us to reap the rewards
I’ve a SCPH 90006 dvd 3.11G got the hybrid FreeDVDBoot of 3.10 n 3.11 but keeps saying reading disc or remains in the browser screen the ps2 is slim… loooking forward to an answer thank you
Very important: make sure your ps2 language is set to English !! It didn't work before I switched (70004 with 3.10 and works absolutely perfect with imgburn)
It doesn't work with your 90001? I thought it will only depend on your DVD version (3.10 or 3.11). If that so, DVDboot is still got limitations, not really the Holy Grail as claimed by other vloggers. But what I like the most is your videos, you speak well and loud enough to understand what's in your video. More power to you.
Thanks, not other commenters are so kind over the years or understanding. I tried to make sure over the years increase the audio (but not too loud) and improve the lighting. Sometimes I forget stuff and watch my own videos as a refresher too lol.
The file has only 2mb. Some ps2 maybe will have difficult to read a disc so small. You can throw a 100mb there any other file just to fill some space. Download Dummy file creator, is a small and simple software that can create empty dummy files
For people who have problems such as the ps2 wont read the crack disc, do the following 1.Insert the disc in the drive 2.Stab the reset button more than 10 times 3 .Be patient and let it boot 4.KABOOM, ulElf would pop up Worked for me with my pal version 9k series slim ps2.Hope this helps someone
I've subscribed to your channel due to how helpful your videos are XD. I do have a question though, as I'm super new to this whole PS2 modding and emulating thing. Can I use Fortuna in order to do a BIOS dump? I've come to the realization that I would like to preserve being able to play my childhood PS2 games for the long run; and I need an emulator with the PS2 BIOS to do that, apparently.
Do we still need FMCB to install OpenPS2Loader / OPL to then play games off the USB? Or how would I go about it after getting the uLaunchELF working on the DVD method?
No but it's just easier to install FMCB instead of putting in this disc everytime. Just copy OPL onto a USB flash drive and you can navigate to the OpenPS2Loader.elf or whatever the file is called, and launch it from uLaunchELF.
It was not working because i had the the wrong language set, make sure you selected English in the settings! Btw. you dont need to download a tool to burn the dvd, win 10 has one already installed (left klick on the .iso file)
SCPH-79001, I got it working. I had to write the hybrid ISO onto a dual layered disc, it wouldn't take my CD-R's after two attempts. Finally got FMCB installed on a 9k, I'm feeling great. Thank you for posting this, it'll get me back into the PS2 modding scene. I've been a wii homebrewer for the longest time and I think it's time to go back. Cheers.
Thanks for posting this. Got the "3.10 only - all regions" running on my slim 3.10U SCPH-70012 using a Memorex DVD-R (burned at 1X speed using CDBurner XP). It was not working at first ("can't read disc"), and then discovered my slim would only read a DVD I was testing with it 1 out of every 10 times. I eventually had to adjust my laser potentiometer using a different TH-cam video "PS2 Potentiometer Adjustment - Disk Read Error Fix" th-cam.com/video/0tvwdel1XuA/w-d-xo.html and after I did that, my slim finally read and launched ULaunchElf every time after that. Super frustrating, but it works on that model, and if you're having trouble with your PS2 slim reading the disc when it should be compatible, definitely watch the potentiometer adjustment video.
Download OpenPS2Loader, put it on a USB flash drive, and put your PS2 games on a USB flash drive. Navigate to MASS: in uLaunchElf, Launch OpenPS2Loader, and launch your games.

Congrats! I tried both 3.11 only and 3.10 / 3.11 hybrid and it didn't work. My PS2 could not read the disc, but it can read my games fine. I'd appreciate if you help me or anything cuz I know nothing about DVD's and how they work.
Damn so it’s basically just another version of Free McBoot hey. I thought it was different when I watched MVG’s vid on it. I’ve already got Free McBoot setup on mine so I’m good in that regard. Still, I’m interested to follow the development of this new exploit. Cheers bro!
from my experience with this if you load the ps2 and click the triangle it will tell you dvd version. I tried it with my fat ps2 despite being a dvd 2.12u and had no luck i wish the best for you just keep in mind it probably wont work the site specified any ps2 slim regretablly not fat ps2
hey what sort of DVD do I need to make the PS2 display my DVD as DVD Video? I've done this on a DVD-R and I left the Verify option checked. When I burned the DVD and plugged it into my PS2, it just gets stuck on Reading Disc... is it because of my ImgBurn settings or the type of the DVD? I have an SCPH-75004 with the DVD Player version of 3.11E but I really don't know what I should do. I also set the reading speed to 4x. I burned the latest possible prebuilt iso that is compatible with all PS2 Slim models.
alright I found out what caused the never-ending Reading Disc... issue, turns out there wasn't really a physical connection between the console's disc reading laser and the disc itself. I found a very cheap solution by putting something small and heavy to the top left hand side of the disc tray cover and I quickly installed freemcboot afterwards.
@@Adam-rt7lp There is a PS1 HDMI mod coming out that I feel will be superior to said component cables. But If they can make a ODE that does PS1 + PS2 on PS2 Console then that's great to.
Glad that it worked to you mate I am new to all this stuff And wanted to ask you a question does ulaunchelf come with the freedvdboot file that I put into the DVD? Or I need to insert my USB drive with ulaunchelf?
@@mahmudkamalx364 thank you I'm really glad too because before this I had a little accident with my ps2 so I couldn't play videogames for like 6 months until now lol. Yes the ulaunchelf comes already in the ISO file but I also have before the ulaunchelf on my USB
Hey, how well does FreeDVDboot work on Fat PS2 models? Mine is an SCPH-5001 NTSC Fat model. Do I need to also include FMCB or Fortuna Project, or would that just be recommended?
Double check the GitHub to see if you have a compatible model. If yes, then freedvdboot disc should work and if not, then the laser is aging and maybe best to consider a different method like FHDB or FMCB. Fortuna Project is only for slim consoles.
Check the github and if this is a fat ps2 and /or your dvd firmware version is not supported, maybe its time to get a ps2 slim and work that angle. Also consider making a github ticket and/or visit psx-scene forum or discord for more help, maybe someone else dev wise can share some additional thoughts.
So when i reach the LaunchELF menu, what do i do from there? do i need to format my memory card with all my save games? (i saw in some videos that i have to do it) and can i play games with burned discs? or a USB drive?
I’m also new to the topic of modding PS2, so someone may correct me. LaunchELF allows you to install Free McBoot on your memory card. You will need to format your memory card, but I think there is an option to keep your save files. Free McBoot in itself won’t allow you to play games from USB or burned discs, but you will be able to add some apps to it. Adding OpenPS2Loader to Free McBoot will make playing games from USB possible and adding ESR will make playing burned CDs possible. If you search for „Free DVD Boot” on google, you’ll find some easy step-by-step tutorials on how to go through the whole process.
Ideally, you should install FMCB on an empty memory card. If you're going to install it on a card with your saves, I would first backup those saves to USB and transfer to PC if they're important saves.
Bro your the best this is the perfect video for me. I just have one question. I do not have a dvd drive. can i use an old ps2 game and install free dvd boot in it?
Not sure what is the best way to contact you directly, but do you know how to use FreeDVDBoot and ESR to create self bootable PS2 games? I read the blog, but I am not a coder and do not know how to take what he said and do it on my own. I hope a ps2 expert like yourself can help shed some light, perhaps via discord or whatever.
Not quite. The simplest is learn up on OPL so you can play games via usb, or network method. You can also install FMCB or Fortuna Project depending on your PS2 model and run homebrew that way. If you read up on ESR method, you could play burnt discs I suppose. I am not a fan of discs because of laser degradation, so I like to play a digital method.
Para la comunidad de Latinoamérica dejó mi aporte que descubrí con este método: Todos los discos que grabé funcionaron perfecto en una consola sin matrix. Algunos se preguntarán cómo poner los juegos en español cuando la consola se tiene que configurar con el idioma inglés, simple, con una memory Card con freemacbot y el programa esr la consola reproduce los juegos sin problema aun estando en español la consola, incluso es capaz de reproducir juegos en otras regiones ( solo lo probé con dos juegos en formato PAL). El único problema es que si el juego no tiene la opción al inicio de configurarlo a NTSC la imagen no se mostrará en su posición correcta. Concluyendo, si tienes freemacbot con esr y grabas los juegos como se muestra en el video no tendrás problema alguno al jugar juegos con la consola configurada al español y sin necesidad de chip matrix
I have a ps2 model SCPH 77002 with a dvd reader version 3.11A. I tried doing this with a normal dvd with a hybrid 3.10 and 3.11 dvd boot but my ps2 reads the disc as a play station 2 disc. Could you please advice me on what to do? Should I be using a dvd -R or +R instead of a normal dvd??
So I loaded the software onto my PS2 using the hybrid iso and started copying games at the slowest speed possible with my dvd drive (16x) but when the PS2 launches it says to insert a a PS1 or PS2 disc. Should I be using a non-hybrid iso instead? I'm using imgburn with eject and verify selected. The DVD's are Verbatim DVD-R. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thank you!
apparently you need the esr loader software on your memory card, fuck if I know where to get it. I got FreeMcboot & OPL on there but I can't do anything with it yet

Hi I have a ps2 slim and I am trying to use a dvd r burned without modding my ps2 but it says that can't read the disc, How should I do to play games from dvd r? I don't know where to start
Not sure how to do it myself yet. Simplest way for now is run opl and play Ps2 games over smb or USB. Less hassle and don't need to burn discs and wear out the laser
any idea why my ps2 slim (last model) , is stuck on reading disc... on all discs but games do play fine if reboot the console , but won't play if i insert them while running... when i insert the freedvdboot disc while the console is off it will boot directly into the browser and say no data
I'm still new to the whole PS2 modding scene as I just bought a freeMCBoot memory card off amazon. But with this FreeDVDBoot, could you techincally put a rom on the disc instead of the FreeMCBoot installation and run games that way? or would that not work?
Not sure what's going on. Every time I put a burned game in it shows up as dvd. When I click it I get a black screen and then it says "dvd player is not set up"
I'm so confused doesn't esr work on the slim models? Just patch them with esr patcher then burn the disc the pop it in or is this like a method that doesn't require esr usage
Every time I heard the "Operation complete" chime I kept saying to myself "Hi, I'm Paul" from the end of a Jimmy Neutron episode. Sure shit it's the same jingle
I skipped to the dvd boot but how did i know you were referencing imgburn
Hi, I'm Paul.

Fat not made yet, it will be along time coming I think.
Sales numbers for used 007 Agent Under Fire discs plummeting as we speak....
Good times
Sad cuz the ribbon cable to the power of my ps2 slim crumbled and ripped, i can find a replacement but parts is scarce
Mine always says unable to read disc ):
Could be bad laser
many PS2 lasers have died, there has even been a lawsuit over the dying laser issue.
hey what sort of DVD do I need to make the PS2 display my DVD as DVD Video? I've done this on a DVD-R and I left the Verify option checked. When I burned the DVD and plugged it into my PS2, it just gets stuck on Reading Disc...
is it because of my ImgBurn settings or the type of the DVD? I have an SCPH-75004 with the DVD Player version of 3.11E but I really don't know what I should do. I also set the reading speed to 4x. I burned the latest possible prebuilt iso that is compatible with all PS2 Slim models.
alright I found out what caused the never-ending Reading Disc... issue, turns out there wasn't really a physical connection between the console's disc reading laser and the disc itself. I found a very cheap solution by putting something small and heavy to the top left hand side of the disc tray cover and I quickly installed freemcboot afterwards.
I wish someone for the love of god get PS1 ISO working on PS2. Not via crappy emulation
Get a PSIO and you are good. Or you can use OPL with whatever compatibility it's at to play some PS1 games via the HDD or external USB drive.
@@majinvipergaming
I will rather have one Ultimate ps1 ps2 machine plus ps2 supports 2x smoothing and component out
@@Adam-rt7lp There is a PS1 HDMI mod coming out that I feel will be superior to said component cables. But If they can make a ODE that does PS1 + PS2 on PS2 Console then that's great to.
No good way currently. There is PSX launcher that is native, but that requires blocking censors and swapping discs.
@@majinvipergaming PSIO also crap. it has compability issues
OK, but I thought this can be used to just stick a backed up disk in and play?
You can't use the backups you use with a modchip.
You can use this exploit to boot into an ESR-modified backup though
@@TheMaskarad Wish people would read more...
Here's to hoping one day, this can solve the slow movie loading and lag times, when you have no choice but to use USB source to play games
Whats wrong with smb or internal hard drive method for those ps2 units that can?
HOLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
can you play games straight from a burned dvd ?
Yea but why do that? Just use it to install free mc boot
@@manny3095 FMB don't support all the games and slow when i use a usb drive
Go network smb
Works fine for me i tried it today thanks for this tutorial!!!!
Awesome!!
Just shall work on those slim models?
Any chance to run this DVD on a PS2 phat 39001 or 50001??
I don't have a slim PS2
Not at this point in time, maybe one day. Give it time
Thank you friend this help me ❤
I tried this on my PS2 slim model 90001 date code 9D DVD player version 3.11 and IT WORKED! it worked perfectly
Glad that it worked to you mate
I am new to all this stuff
And wanted to ask you a question does ulaunchelf come with the freedvdboot file that I put into the DVD? Or I need to insert my USB drive with ulaunchelf?
@@mahmudkamalx364 thank you I'm really glad too because before this I had a little accident with my ps2 so I couldn't play videogames for like 6 months until now lol. Yes the ulaunchelf comes already in the ISO file but I also have before the ulaunchelf on my USB
Hey, how well does FreeDVDboot work on Fat PS2 models? Mine is an SCPH-5001 NTSC Fat model. Do I need to also include FMCB or Fortuna Project, or would that just be recommended?
Double check the GitHub to see if you have a compatible model. If yes, then freedvdboot disc should work and if not, then the laser is aging and maybe best to consider a different method like FHDB or FMCB. Fortuna Project is only for slim consoles.
what's the outro music sounds like from the blur game ages ago in 2010
From crystal method.
Eduardo
When I enter the disc, a black screen shows then getting me out again ! How can I solve this?
Check the github and if this is a fat ps2 and /or your dvd firmware version is not supported, maybe its time to get a ps2 slim and work that angle. Also consider making a github ticket and/or visit psx-scene forum or discord for more help, maybe someone else dev wise can share some additional thoughts.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I do have the slim 90004 with 3.11 dvd player
Can u forward my problem to the forum? Would really appreciate it 🙏🏻
@@ahmaddalati5924 It be better if you make your own post or ticket honestly so I can focus on other things xd
Finally Its Time To Get My Old Ps2 Out Of Dust And Start Playing Some Games AWESOME JOB!!!
No longer do you need to look like a weirdo with a screwdriver, a compatible game with a modified copy on DVD-R and a cut up credit card
I'm curious to see if someone will create some automated process to find offsets for other DVD player versions...
Thanks for the tutorial! 😀
So when i reach the LaunchELF menu, what do i do from there? do i need to format my memory card with all my save games? (i saw in some videos that i have to do it) and can i play games with burned discs? or a USB drive?
I’m also new to the topic of modding PS2, so someone may correct me. LaunchELF allows you to install Free McBoot on your memory card. You will need to format your memory card, but I think there is an option to keep your save files.
Free McBoot in itself won’t allow you to play games from USB or burned discs, but you will be able to add some apps to it. Adding OpenPS2Loader to Free McBoot will make playing games from USB possible and adding ESR will make playing burned CDs possible.
If you search for „Free DVD Boot” on google, you’ll find some easy step-by-step tutorials on how to go through the whole process.
Ideally, you should install FMCB on an empty memory card. If you're going to install it on a card with your saves, I would first backup those saves to USB and transfer to PC if they're important saves.
@@alienrefugee51 I have 2 empty 8MB memory cards, can i use them and after i install FMCB i put the memory card with saves back. am i right?
See the FMCB follow up tutorial.
Bro your the best this is the perfect video for me. I just have one question. I do not have a dvd drive. can i use an old ps2 game and install free dvd boot in it?
No you will need to get a blank dvd and write the image.
It's already viral! Spread the news, people! :)
Not sure what is the best way to contact you directly, but do you know how to use FreeDVDBoot and ESR to create self bootable PS2 games? I read the blog, but I am not a coder and do not know how to take what he said and do it on my own. I hope a ps2 expert like yourself can help shed some light, perhaps via discord or whatever.
So does this mean I can burn PS2 isos on blank discs and play them on it? (I'm pretty new to PS2 modding so.)
Not quite. The simplest is learn up on OPL so you can play games via usb, or network method. You can also install FMCB or Fortuna Project depending on your PS2 model and run homebrew that way. If you read up on ESR method, you could play burnt discs I suppose. I am not a fan of discs because of laser degradation, so I like to play a digital method.
Para la comunidad de Latinoamérica dejó mi aporte que descubrí con este método: Todos los discos que grabé funcionaron perfecto en una consola sin matrix. Algunos se preguntarán cómo poner los juegos en español cuando la consola se tiene que configurar con el idioma inglés, simple, con una memory Card con freemacbot y el programa esr la consola reproduce los juegos sin problema aun estando en español la consola, incluso es capaz de reproducir juegos en otras regiones ( solo lo probé con dos juegos en formato PAL). El único problema es que si el juego no tiene la opción al inicio de configurarlo a NTSC la imagen no se mostrará en su posición correcta. Concluyendo, si tienes freemacbot con esr y grabas los juegos como se muestra en el video no tendrás problema alguno al jugar juegos con la consola configurada al español y sin necesidad de chip matrix
I have a ps2 model SCPH 77002 with a dvd reader version 3.11A. I tried doing this with a normal dvd with a hybrid 3.10 and 3.11 dvd boot but my ps2 reads the disc as a play station 2 disc. Could you please advice me on what to do?
Should I be using a dvd -R or +R instead of a normal dvd??
Either should work, Try the 3.11 all regions too. If it doesn't work, make github ticket.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I should be using a dvd -R right??
When I went to the link on your descripion ,I didn’t 3.11 only file anymore! So what do I do?
Get it from the official github.
Thanks For The Tutorial.
4:48 Hi Im Paul
Gotta blast!
So I loaded the software onto my PS2 using the hybrid iso and started copying games at the slowest speed possible with my dvd drive (16x) but when the PS2 launches it says to insert a a PS1 or PS2 disc.
Should I be using a non-hybrid iso instead? I'm using imgburn with eject and verify selected. The DVD's are Verbatim DVD-R. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thank you!
apparently you need the esr loader software on your memory card, fuck if I know where to get it. I got FreeMcboot & OPL on there but I can't do anything with it yet
@@HKgaming86 Thanks! I'll try out the ESR loader. I found it in the description of a youtube video. Here it is in case you need it.

I downloaded FreeDVDBoot on a CD-R, but when I put it in PS2, and went into the Browser, it just says "Reading disk ..." and that's it
Should be DVD+R or DVD-R
I only got a Japanese game to work ONCE. Whenever I inserted my DVD rom into my PS2 it says "The Disc could not be read."
Could be weak laser or needs laser tweak. I suggest if you can play digitally that's way to go like usb or smb or internal hdd.
I'm actually curious if this can be done with CD-R format.
Nope
@fake account fuck you OKAY
dammit thats all i got
@@Sqirmy RIP
Amy N0!... are you trying to piss off everyone?
does fdvdb work with dvd player version 2.13E and to burn the file iso from fdvdb and burn dvd-r
TBH, check the GitHub for latest details.
I have a question. If this method can be used for burned games, can it also be used for Region Locked games?
So when you're finished using this exploit can you just use freemcboot without the disc from that point on?
Correct
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia can you play ps1 games with this method without using popstarter plz reply plz help me to understand
At 4:48, do you know the name of that sound effect? Our school used to use it as the school bell.
Sorry I don't its like some kind of bell chime.
Picked up a ps2 for this
What Blank DVD-R brand do you recommend?
Ive never burned a disc in my life
First confirm you have a compatible PS2 model, and if so, then try DVD+R or DVD-R. Memorex or verbatim are good brands.
Thank you it's work you solve my problem thank you very much ❤️❤️
If I do not have memory cards, then the games do not learn at all or do they learn on a flash drive?
Imagine if this exploit was discovered back in those days? It would be like how the Utopia boot disc hurt the Dreamcast.
@@BillWalters-kx8sw Yah, I was chipping PS2's back then, but soldering 23 wires wasn't exactly fun, especially on some of those small pins. At least this method wouldn't of voided your warranty or risked screwing up your machine.
Yea and I still have a dreamcast too.
Hi I have a ps2 slim and I am trying to use a dvd r burned without modding my ps2 but it says that can't read the disc, How should I do to play games from dvd r? I don't know where to start
When I visited freedvd boot page I saw only the file names all PS2 slims..is that the file
Yes he's consolidated versions now.
Will this ever work on a scph-39001 (fat) with dvd player 2.12u?
There's No Version Of 2.12u In The Download.
How can I play burnt games? I want to play battle for bikini bottom but let’s just say my disk has been some places. And is unreadable?
Not sure how to do it myself yet. Simplest way for now is run opl and play Ps2 games over smb or USB. Less hassle and don't need to burn discs and wear out the laser
Versatile ESR works fine!
What about Ps2 Phat? With DVD firmware 2.12U
Have to wait
PS2 only work with DVD -R, atleast my fat version PS2 does and im burning game disks since 2012
Must have a modchip
any idea why my ps2 slim (last model) , is stuck on reading disc... on all discs but games do play fine if reboot the console , but won't play if i insert them while running... when i insert the freedvdboot disc while the console is off it will boot directly into the browser and say no data
This is a question for the GitHub, not sure why it does this unless laser age has an effect here.
I'm still new to the whole PS2 modding scene as I just bought a freeMCBoot memory card off amazon. But with this FreeDVDBoot, could you techincally put a rom on the disc instead of the FreeMCBoot installation and run games that way? or would that not work?
You need to ESR patch it but there is a way to do it.
I have a video on selfbootable games so yes.
Not sure what's going on. Every time I put a burned game in it shows up as dvd. When I click it I get a black screen and then it says "dvd player is not set up"
Did you see the selfboot video to see if it makes a difference? Your ps2 is freedvdboot compatible right?
I'm so confused doesn't esr work on the slim models? Just patch them with esr patcher then burn the disc the pop it in or is this like a method that doesn't require esr usage
ESR disc that is patched isn't going to run on a vanilla PS2. You need ESR program to run as well.
My dvd player are broken I can't insert or use dvd or cd disk please help me
How about you fix said dvd player? Or get FMCB if compatible system.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia how can i fix the dvd player? Do you have a tutorial video pls
Clean the laser. Adjust voltage of laser via potentiometer fix. Or replace laser or go buy a FMCB memory card.
Hello can u help me i burned a dvd the ps2 reading it dvd but i cannot go inside the disc I'm pressing on the dvd but they taking me back
Check the wiki for help or create a ticket. Burn the correct iso for the system.

DVD method strictly.
