Spoiler

Some updates for the good old PS2 from Liu Woon Yung FMCB has been updated to FMCB installer v0.97 (FMCB v1.95), maybe some one will try itIt is a tool only to run homebrew for the PS2 without Chip !!! But there is also a Homebrew called ESR to run PS2 gamesThis is an Free Memory Card Boot (FMCB) installer. It was previously known as the "Unofficial FMCB v1.8C" installer.No part of it was directly re-used from FMCB v1.7 itself, but parts of it were based or referenced from the code of FMCB v1.7.The files in the fmcb-install folder are from Jimmikaelkael's PS3MCA project. Of course, I didn't include the questionable files which Sony claimed as a breach of their copyright.Since FMCB v1.9 was born, the FMCB installer has been used for installing both versions of FMCB (v1.8C and v1.9x).Download the archive linked to in the downloads sectionExtract the contents into one of these places:A USB deviceA CD/DVDA Memory Card (Not the memory card that FMCB will be installed to)Launch the installer with your Playstation 2 consoleInstall - Performs a normal installation of FMCBMulti-Install - Performs a "multi" installation of FMCB. A multi-installation can boot on all consoles of any region, and not only on the console it was installed with.Uninstall FMCB - Removes a normal installation of FMCB from a memory card.Uninstall MI - Uninstalls a multi-installation, turning it back into a normal FMCB installation.Format MC - Formats a Memory Card.Dump MC - Dumps a Memory Card to an image installer's directory.Restore MC - Restores a Memory Card from an image located in the installer's directory.Shutdown - Switches off the Playstation 2 console.Exit - Exits the installer and returns back to the OSDSYS menu.As of 2014/06/29, FMCB v1.8C will no longer be circulated from here as the FMCB v1.9 appears to have achieved proven stability.2016/01/10 re-release:Re-compiled to fix broken strings table, large files can now be copied properly to the HDD unit (copied in blocks) and fixed size computation of the unused areas of the HDD unit by making it compliant with the homebrew APA driver.I think that I've fixed all of them by this release.None!I've spent slightly over a hundred hours working on this, and I hope that it works well.... but of course, anything could go wrong - so I have provided a memory card dumping and restoration facility within the installer.A dump of a memory card in slot 1 will get saved as mc0.bin, and a dump of a card in slot 1 will get saved as mc1.bin.The file will be saved to the directory where the main executable of this installer resides in.Caution! You can only make one dump of a card from each port. Making additional dumps will overwrite the previous dump.During development, I have sent 2 out of 3 of my cards to their graves and damaged the filesystems of all of them too. Thank goodness for the dumps that I made at the beginning of this project!(I seriously don't know what's wrong with those damaged cards... they were hardly used and now they cannot be detected at all).!!! WARNING !!! If you make a multi-install, do not delete any of the B*EXEC-SYSTEM folders or any of the OSD*.elf files inside them!Doing so might result in SEVERE data loss. Do not delete uninstall.dat from the SYS-CONF folder either, or you will probably be stuck with the multi-install files forever.Lastly, read the included README file for more details.The sources have been released.Check out the downloads section below.Within the sources, I have created:Hopefully, they will be useful for the homebrew community after their release.Supported languagesFor more information on supported languages and how support for languages can be completed, click here.
