#PS2 HOMEBREW UPDATE#
*When ATA support is installed (installed whenever compatibility with the SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000 and SCPH-18000 is required),įMCB will always attempt to load the HDD update from the HDD unit. Do not save the FMCB configuration file to the HDD if it is to be used with FMCB. *Although the new FMCB configurator supports saving of the FMCB configuration file to the HDD, However, if no valid HDD browser installation is detected, FHDB will power-off the HDD Unit andĪttempt to use the default browser from ROM instead. *Although FHDB was meant to be used with the HDD browser, it is still possible to use FHDB without the HDD browser.
#PS2 HOMEBREW INSTALL#
Please do not install FHDB if you use the PSBBN because that will ruin the PSBBN (its MBR program is incompatible). *Added support for DebugStation consoles that can boot FMCB (DTL-H101xx, DTL-H301xx and later). *Added support for the Chinese consoles (Magicgate region 09, folder letter C. *New FMCB configurator program which supports the HDD unit. (Support for non-Sony HDD units within the HDD OSD/browser v2.00 update depends on the HDD OSD itself). Its XMB is not supported, meaning that there will be no hacked XMB for the PSX.
#PS2 HOMEBREW DRIVER#
It also includes its own HDD support modules and can act as a replacement for the Sony system driver update.
#PS2 HOMEBREW PATCH#
Not only will it patch up the SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 kernels fully (Applies OSD argument-passing patch), *Full support for the SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000. The part of FMCB which remains resident will be copied into its place during runtime,Īllowing the initialization part of it to have the entire PlayStation 2 for initializationĪnd drawing something nice on the screen (Not done at the moment as it makes FMCB quite a fair bit larger). *The embedded EELOAD module has been cleaned up, and loads at 0x00082000 instead (Like rom0:EELOAD does). *The location of ESR will now be checked only when ESR is requested to be loaded.
#PS2 HOMEBREW FULL#
*Reloading the OSD from within the OSD triggers a full reload of FMCB, because I felt that it'll be cleaner. Will now be updated whenever Playstation/Playstation 2 game/software discs are launched, *The user's history file (the file which affects the towers within the "Sony Computer Entertainment" startup screen) (Under the assumption that most homebrew ELFs probably won't ever use the drive). *The CD/DVD drive will now be stopped if a normal ELF is started

This can be easily set using the included FMCB/FHDB configurator. hdd0:_sysconf fs:/FMCB/FMCB_configurator.elf). *(For the HDDOSD version of FMCB only) ELFs can be booted from any partition on the HDD. *Support for the Protokernel and all HDD OSDs have been added. *The memory map has been adjusted slightly, so everything now fits below Sony's idea of "user memory" (below 0x00100000). *The console initialization code has been replaced with a Sony-like version. *DVD player selection code has been replaced with one similar to the one used by Sony. (superceded by code that runs from the EE, like their Sony originals). *Some IRX modules (init.irx and chkesr.irx) have been removed *A new shutdown function, for shutting down the PS2 with the appropriate process for some (2.5") HDDs. *Your play history will now be updated (The towers in the background of the "Sony computer entertainment" screen should continue to grow taller and greater in numbers) *When you leave the CD/DVD tray ejected, FMCB/FHDB will not stall. *Chinese consoles are now supported (e.g. *The PSX (DVR unit) and compatible Debugstation (e.g. *The "Early Japanese"/PCMCIA units (SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000 and SCPH-18000) are fully supported. Which is why that topic will not be discussed here. Modifying or getting a pre-modified copy of the HDDOSD is not under this project, ***Whether the hacked HDD OSD supports non-Sony disks or not depends on whether it was modified to support non-Sony disks.*** Patched/modified copies of the HDDOSD may not work, although non-Sony disks are supported by FHDB itself. It does everything like FMCB does, but is meant to be used with the SONY HDDOSD (Browser update v2.00). Modifications to your console or dangerous tricks like the legendary swap trick.įMCB was originally developed by Neme and Jimmikaelkael,īut they have been kind enough to provide me with access to its source code, for me to make some improvements to it.įree Harddisk Drive Boot (FHDB) is basically FMCB that gets installed onto the PlayStation 2 console's HDD unit. Free Memory Card Boot (FMCB) is a homebrew software which is designed to setup your PlayStation 2 consoleĪnd provides you with a means of launching homebrew software, without the need for any extra hardware,
