You need a way to run the exploit installer. If you are lucky your ps2 might be able to run freedvdboot. See a freedvdboot video to see what the process is. If it can run the disc, then you can rerun the fmcb installer elf file from usb and be back in business.
What version did they start this with? I have 1.93 and whoopsied the option to get into the configurator. Your trick isn't working - it's just taking me back to the regular FMCB menu. Might have to re-burn FreeDVDBoot and do it that way. [EDIT] Turns out I had to put a boot.elf file onto a USB drive, then boot up with R1 and that got me back up 👍🏻
Can this apply to FHDB as well? Because I had FHDB set up on my PS2, and now whenever I turn on my PS2, for whatever reason, it only shows me the main browser screen like an unmodded PS2 would have. I don't believe that I did anything, but I'm definitely going to try this to see if I messed up the settings somehow. Any other ideas as to what my problem would be?
Hello I admire what you do, but I need your help.I bought an FMCB memorycard but it doesn't work, it doesn't show me the logo or even the modified screenshot.But entering the browser, that is the memorycard there are all the files. How can I get the FMCB to work. I need your help, I hope you will answer me .... Thanks🙏
The most obvious question from me is did you contact the seller for help? I'm very curious of what their response/action is. I do sell FMCB memory cards, and I advise my users to confirm what is their PS2 model first to ensure it is FMCB compatible. Otherwise, you will want to use something like Fortuna Project if you have a PS2 slim.
HI Project Phoenix Media, I don't know what I did but everytime that I try to acess FMCB configurator I just have black screen and can hear some kind of loop sound... I wanted to redefine e3 launch keys so I'm stucked !
Hey i have a problem. i recently boughta free mcboot with version 1.953 and the free mcboot load screen appears but no menu shows up. I tried pressin random stuff and it opens random menus. I tried doing that and the configurator appeared. Can you help me ??
i deleted the corrupted files on my memory and now free mc boot doesn’t work (realized later that i shouldn’t have done that) i still can access the menu, and i still get the free mcboot screen, the only thing is that is not accessing opl :( is there an easy fix?
Help it doesn’t work. While I was playing my sister unplugged my console while I was playing god of war. When I turned it on the opl didn’t work. After restarting it didn’t even show the free Mcboot logo
I have a question, couple days ago i bought mcboot but everytime i start my ps2, it takes me straight to opl, so i dont see free mc boot main menu screen and when im trying this trick, all i got was browser and system configuration only, need help here so i can access free mcboot menu sceen, thanks
This is really frustrating. If I was the buyer, I would go back to the seller and ask for help! Curious what he/she says about it. When I supply FMCB memory cards, I always have it go to the FMCB boot screen, not straight to OPL. This method per the video worked for me. If you run OPL and exit OPL, where does it take you? Back to OPL or the FMCB home screen? Maybe if you have a ulaunchelf ISO disguised as a game, we can boot into it and then reinstall FMCB so you get homescreen back.
Maybe its not booting into FMCB at all and the file system is messed up. Did you see if the RESCUE.ELF method worked or not? If not, then you need to find a way to reinstall fmcb.
I’m following what your saying, but it isn’t working. I just got this PlayStation and it had it but I was messing around and it sent me to a menu that says “Free HDboot [Version 1.93]”. If you have any ideas to help, please let me know.
I'm pretty sure i did this to myself trying to get GSM on my system. When i boot i load into hdboot from the memory card which is strange, but opl and all my games are gone. i think i may have messed up paths when installing. i am still able to launch LaunchELF by pressing r1 + triangle but im unsure if or how i can fix freemcboot through launchelf
I don't see how if you get it enabled great or reinstall it. Look into freedvdboot, your ps2 maybe compatible so you may not need to worry if you need to install fmcb again on your own.
Hey there I have a little bit problem from starting ps2 with fmcb I'm using ps2 slim SCPH-90004 and I installed fmcb on my mc and every thing is fine but when I want to restart my ps2 it wont start with fmcb even with the logo of that it just start normally and if I want to start fmcb I have to insert my disc that have fmcb installer and from there I can lunch fmcb. I'm asking is there a way that I can start it without dick just normally with fmcb? Thx :)
Damn dude. I have been recently selling FMCB/Fortuna cards on ebay here and there. For sure mine would have worked and you will always get my support and my videos to back me up. Go back to the seller and ask for refund/help. Maybe clean said memory card, could be contact reader issue. Let me know how it goes, very interested if you can bounce back.
It's a soft modded memory card and it allows you to run homebrew apps. The most popular app is Open PS2 Loader or OPL which allows you to play games from usb, internal hard drive, or from the network. Great way to play games and preserve your laser.
Yeah, i have problem with playing movies, i must find a movie below 1GB or i will get lags. And i dont really know what .avi can i reproduce. And i like when stuff is simple, i dont have freemcboot, i only have a cd with sms player on it and a flash drive with movies, and that's it. really simple. Thanks!
My problem isn't that .... I played once in the settings. And got out rested my ps2 and when i turn it again... The opl program freeze ( the small circle in the corner ) ..... Any one know how to fix it ...... Also my memory card has a corrupted data 💀
Is the memory card even working in the first place? If you can read it, then if fmcb is installed, it should run, or reinstall it if you have the proper tools
I need help!!!, the memory card containing mcboot got corrupted so a friend gave me his own memory card that contains mcboot, it loads normal to browser and configuration menu but never loads the mcboot menu, what seems to be the problem.
Please what about for funtuna or fortuna I updated my opl and the fortuna menu stopped popping up. And i mistakenly deleted the corrupted data from my fortuna memory card. Am i screwed?
@ProjectPhoenixMedia there's another way, I found out it's called freedvdboot unfortunately I don't have a blank DVD-R for this, but I have already ordered a pack. Hopefully everything works well when the dvd arrives. Thank you for replying ☺️
OMG UR THE MAN I WAS FREAKING OUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT I BROKE IT THANKK YOUUU
it doesnt come up with the free mcboot screen anymore? i don't know what happened
You save me. Thank you, bro! You're amazing!
I'm glad I had the foresight to make such a video!
no wonder this vid has a high thumbs up rate. this was crazy helpful. thank you so much. it saved my bacon just now
I'm glad it helped you out and I had the vision to even make a video like this.
You saved my mental health. Thank you man.
Thank you very much, thanks to this video I got my FMCB card back to work.
How did you get the free mcboot config on yr console, cause the only option I get is browser and system config
Same I’m stuck
please help it didnt work i pressed start and it didnt workk
I fucked up, I deleted a corrupted save file from the memory card and didn't realize it was free mcboot!! how do I enable again?

Fuck I just did the exact same fucking thing man

Yeah that wasn't my problem. I don't know why I can't access FHDB. I may just have to redo the whole mod.
Great video bro is there a way i can use my slot 2 for free mcboot rather than the first slot
Just plug it into the second slot...!
yeah just put the memory card in second slot and ur ready to go
It doesn’t work for me
Either I hit start and it still
Loads into the disabled menu
THANKYOUUUUUUUUUU GOD BLESS YOU
Thanks man, it helped a lot

Hey bro i just started simple media launcher what to do 😭😭 plzz help
That is a way to play media files, find a tutorial to get full potential
Yo, can u help me? In my case fmcb works but it doesnt display free mcboot configurator, i tried to hold start button but it doesnt help.
Did you do the rescue.elf solution so we can get into ulaunchelf and reinstall FMCB?
HI
Project Phoenix Media, I don't know what I did but everytime that I try to acess FMCB configurator I just have black screen and can hear some kind of loop sound...
I wanted to redefine e3 launch keys so I'm stucked !
Can you reinstall fmcb?
hey what do you do if everything you said was wrong?
A list of games appears but when I restart my ps2 It takes me back to the same position I was in 😢
Use OPL and have to manually load it every time after power up to see list of games
Love you bro❤❤❤❤
Hey i have a problem. i recently boughta free mcboot with version 1.953 and the free mcboot load screen appears but no menu shows up. I tried pressin random stuff and it opens random menus. I tried doing that and the configurator appeared. Can you help me ??
If you got configurator great, configure path to .elf files and save.
i deleted the corrupted files on my memory and now free mc boot doesn’t work (realized later that i shouldn’t have done that) i still can access the menu, and i still get the free mcboot screen, the only thing is that is not accessing opl :( is there an easy fix?
You can reinstall OPL if you can still get into fmcb, that is not an issue.
Help it doesn’t work. While I was playing my sister unplugged my console while I was playing god of war. When I turned it on the opl didn’t work. After restarting it didn’t even show the free Mcboot logo
Time to reinstall fmcb.

My didnt work on press and hold start button
It will work without mod chip matrix?
hello i hope you notice me how bout if you dont see any free mcboot logo cause i messed up the configuration
Maybe its not booting into FMCB at all and the file system is messed up. Did you see if the RESCUE.ELF method worked or not? If not, then you need to find a way to reinstall fmcb.

Your ps2 has an internal hard drive preloaded with FHDB is my guess.
I'm pretty sure i did this to myself trying to get GSM on my system. When i boot i load into hdboot from the memory card which is strange, but opl and all my games are gone. i think i may have messed up paths when installing. i am still able to launch LaunchELF by pressing r1 + triangle but im unsure if or how i can fix freemcboot through launchelf
Could reinstall fmcb and put everything back to defaults
So I had mad games and now they are gone.. they was on my hardrive now they aren’t, how can I get them back?
Use usb util 2.0 to see if your ul.cfg file can be fixed
Hey man is there any risks that i wouldn't get my fmcb back with this method?
I don't see how if you get it enabled great or reinstall it. Look into freedvdboot, your ps2 maybe compatible so you may not need to worry if you need to install fmcb again on your own.
I deleted some of the files in freemc boot how do I fix it
Reinstall them. If you don't have an entry point, look into freedvdboot and if that disc boots, then you can install fmcb again
Hi may I know how does the ESR launch disc work I can’t load my PS3 disc game
This is a ps2 video so no.
Sorry I mean ps2 game disc cannot load from my free mcboot ESR show black screen
Try newer ESR version or play via opl.
it didnt work
Mine won't even load up past the first screen
Cant access my freemacboot, it turn off my ps2 when im launching oplps2dl.
Can you reinstall fmcb
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia ive already reinstalled the fmcb but same issue.
do you have viber or discord,sir?
you are my hero thank you very much
It doesn’t do that when I hold start why?
Maybe it's time to clean the memory card contacts or replace the whole card altogether.

You just wrong disc with dick my man. 😂😂
Bro it says matrix disabled
I see no FMCB screen, help me.
If this method doesn't work then perhaps the memory card itself is corrupted and its time to do a fresh install.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I fixed it.
@@Ultimate_Utopian how did u fix it
@@Xedrie I had a mod-chipped PS2, I had to keep R1 or R2 pressed everytime I turned it on for the FMCB to appear.
@@Ultimate_Utopian ahh guess i do have to get a new fmcb card
I don't know the problem. The ps2 was working, but it started not working. When I click start, the word disabled appears. I hope someone can help me.
I'm not sure why that is, could ask psx-place forum

Man I feel like I got ripped. Bought a free mcboot card and it doesnt even show the memory card in browser. Kms
Follow up: it had a spot of corrosion and works correctly if slightly pulled out the memory slot

Pls answer Me
WHEN i Hold Start It Say Disabled
I don't know this error sorry
I have free mcboot memory card.. the second time I use it nothing happen.. no free mcboot menu.. is the memory card corrupt?.. how to repair?..
Reinsert the memory card, is it clean contacts?
Im following you for a long time, and i dont really know what this mcboot really does?
It's a soft modded memory card and it allows you to run homebrew apps. The most popular app is Open PS2 Loader or OPL which allows you to play games from usb, internal hard drive, or from the network. Great way to play games and preserve your laser.

Yeah, i have problem with playing movies, i must find a movie below 1GB or i will get lags. And i dont really know what .avi can i reproduce. And i like when stuff is simple, i dont have freemcboot, i only have a cd with sms player on it and a flash drive with movies, and that's it. really simple. Thanks!
What HDD do you recommend for PS2?
any will work as long as have usb power or wall port
I deleted my corrupted data in free mc boot what do i do did I brick my free mcboot memory card
Time to reinstall it if you have another way to boot homebrew media. Freedvdboot maybe good starting point.
Big big thanks!!!
oke but what is modchip ??
Hi dude, love your vids, I recently bought a free mcboot memory card online. It was 64 mb, It didn't work at all, any tips?
Can you ask the seller for help? My concern is it really 64mb or a low capacity card spoofed to higher capacity?
if it goes back to normal blow in like the N64 catridge it worked for me atleast
Mine just shows
Sumo light disabled
I bought a 1.953 version
My ps2 is a SCHP90004

yeah my code is 0c
My date code is 2B
Thank you sir
All I get is a black screen doing that
This worked for me so not sure whats going on sorry
if you can pls make a video about it
My problem isn't that .... I played once in the settings. And got out rested my ps2 and when i turn it again... The opl program freeze ( the small circle in the corner ) ..... Any one know how to fix it ...... Also my memory card has a corrupted data 💀
Maybe memory card has bad sectors? If you can get back to homebrew again, run MC Annhilator v2 to format the card, then reinstall fmcb.
It Showing disabled on my ps2😭
If still disabled time to reinstall fmcb
it doesnt work
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia it worked i just had my buttons set up differently
@Mohamed Riham it works for both
but you have to either buy a preset memory card or you can mod it yourself thru a fat ps2 thats how i did it
what if the free mcboot logo is not showing? also I can't see the games that I have, hopefully someone will help me out T__T
Is the memory card even working in the first place? If you can read it, then if fmcb is installed, it should run, or reinstall it if you have the proper tools

Does mcboot work fine on his PS2? If yes, then reinstall mcboot on your original memory card
thanks dude
It just says disabled
Clean the memory card contacts, or look at the contact reader on the ps2 possibly make sure there is enough pressure during contact alignment
DIDNT WORK
I love you man
it didn't work 😭
Then put an app as RESCUE.ELF on USB!
Thank you so fucking much!!!
Its happened when you try to date a girl 😅
Wwoo
Please what about for funtuna or fortuna
I updated my opl and the fortuna menu stopped popping up.
And i mistakenly deleted the corrupted data from my fortuna memory card.
Am i screwed?
Unless you have another way to re-add the funtuna or fortuna files...or know someone who has a modded ps2 that can add the files for you. Might be.
@ProjectPhoenixMedia there's another way, I found out it's called freedvdboot unfortunately I don't have a blank DVD-R for this, but I have already ordered a pack. Hopefully everything works well when the dvd arrives. Thank you for replying ☺️
