Apr 6, 2014 - Installing Free Mcboot v1.8 on the PS2 (slim and fat) with Action Replay Max. Extract the contents of OLLi_s8h – FMCB v1.8 _ ARMax _ USB. Ive got some other games with the right file type for installing mcboot. Discs that can run an ELF from a USB flash drive, and run it that way. Oct 30, 2012 I have had a Ps2 system for a while now, and I know that you can make it play games from a USB stick. My Ps2 has a mod chip in it, so i can play 'burnt' games. So now the problem is: I know you need some software to install Free mcboot on your memory card cause that's the beginning.
Hey there guys, I have a bit of a question to ask and I tried looking at the Mcboot site with not a clear answer to the question. I spotted a adapter that allows you to plug your PS2 memory card into your PC via USB. There were no answers if it acted like a hard drive when using the adapter, but I was wondering if I could install Mcboot on a PS2 memory card using this method instead of a swap magic trick or sending it off to somebody I don't know. The closet thing I found was a Memor32 install guide, but it requires you use a modded PS2 card from the makers of Memor32, not just a simple PS2 to USB adapter.
A detailed answer as to why it can or cannot work will be helpful. Thank you for your time and I hope any one of you can provide the answer I'm seeking. Nemo are you from europe? If so send us your memory card and ill install it for you also i get why your cautious but you have nothing to worry about, all your details will be kept privateI'm an Amurikan living in the of land of the red, white, and blue (which makes me wonder, who copied who first, France or the U.S.?) Trust isn't the problem, I would also like to use the adapter for it's intended purpose (transfer saves for storage) on top of being able to install Free Mcboot. Ideally it was a thought of icing on the cake, which most of my ideas involve low expectations with a potential bonus (aka, using the A4-3400 as my new computer with the potential for playing a PS2 emulator. Thanks to that third core hack, the A6-3600 would have been a better option since the graphics card isn't powerful enough to play most of my personal collection and an extra two cores for the same wattage would have been sweet. Will probably buy that as an upgrade down the road if the FM2 aren't a better choice).
Tangent aside, I was hoping for some confirmation on this thing. If not, oh well, but it would be awesome to do that so I can return the favor and do the same for others. It would certainly make converting memory cards a lot faster with less hassle if this option was possible. I understand the bit about not being able to copy and paste, I was more curious about installing it via my PC. As in, having a PC program that can run.elf files and install it on my memory card in the same way people can install linux OS on their flash drive. I was thinking more along the line of that.
Still, it doesn't seem like it's going to work if nobody thinks it can. I'll give it a few more days before closing the thread if anybody else doesn't think it is possible.

Install Mc Boot
If you tried to emulate a hacked copy of 007 like the normal way, then it would load a file directory of the USB devices connected to the emulated PS2. Unfortunately, this would be none becuase they are in your PC, not PS2. And even if you got that step figured out, you would have to somehow set up your physical mem card as an emulated one.FreeMcBoot is very specific to the mem card hardware and can therefore not be copied and pasted from one to the next.

I agree and it is proven by the Mcboot guys it can't be done. I was asking about installing (as in, executing the.elf file) on the memory card when I use a PS2 to USB adapter to link it to my PC. I apologize if my intentions weren't clear, but that is what I'm asking. Upon further investigation, I saw you can run.elf files if you are using a Linux OS. With that in mind, would it be possible to run and install Free Mcboot to that PS2 memory card via Linux? I'm thinking it would be like installing a program to a specific hard drive, a portable one for example, instead of the standard C: section.
I'm more than likely unable to do that, but the possibility intrigues me. If it is possible, I will probably run Linux off my flash drive, then install it under Linux.
