{suggestion}FreeMcBoot 1.5

[zer0xx]

what if you add a menu when open when you press
e.g select from there you can select what will R1 boot from mc0 mc1 mass cd
and in the same time you can choose what you want to boot from there.

when this is done you will be able to boot from any directory doesn't have to be boot

What you suggest is good, but this will make the loader more than a simple loader, it will become just like ulaunchelf.

Then just use ulaunchelf.

A configuring app for the cnf file will eventually be made, I will most likely try to make this app based on ule source (but it'll be a separate app different than the loader which may exit reloading the ps2browser so the exploit is triggered again, dunno if launching osdmain.elf would have the same effect).

It is a good Idea, but will not implemented (in my opinion) to the loader itself.
But as an external app, that'll be no problem.

With a pre-configured CNF to load from a button.
Like the Recovery of PSP-CFW.

Said it before... sorta. (Free Vast Continues) :P

(though I guess you could share uLe's cnf file for keys, making it easier to set them without editing a file manually and basically skipping actually loading uLe.)

Make it completely compatible with uLe config files, and you could use uLe to assign buttons via a (normally unused by uLe) alternate config. So long as the FMBC ini parser skips anything it doesn't know about... may even work as is if I read right and the button names were retained - haven't tried, myself.

The thing I'd like to see comeback is a default BOOT.ELF like ulaunch when installed,it is easy enough to delete or replace

[zer0xx]

another suggestion why don't you make a log just like ps2 when booting a game
so it will show FMB then boot elf

e.g

What do you @ll think about this?

---Hardcoded Installer

-Copies FREEMCB.CNF to the folder, where the loader looks for it. <--Pre-configured CNFs will be possible and you can easily modify it, before installing FMCB.
-Use EMBED.ELF for Embedding-process
-Use BOOT.ELF, to auto-copy to mc?:BOOT/BOOT.ELF? <-- Same MC, where FMCB is.
(all in the same directory, like the Installer).

So, Installer would search for this: FREEMCB.CNF, BOOT.ELF, EMBED.ELF and DVDELF.bin


---Configureable Installer

-Search for BOOT.ELF (for embedding) and DVDELF.bin (also for embedding, like it does always)
-Search for a file, where it is specified, which ELF it should copy to which location.

Search for a COPY.TXT, or something and an easy script:

(SAMEDIRINSTALLER/)BOOT.ELF mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
(SAMEDIRINSTALLER/)APP/SMS/SMS.ELF mc0:/BOOT/SMS.ELF

...

Just a suggestion.



Some other improvements,...

-Load FREEMCB.CNF from his own DIR, + ICONs, if nothing works it may sometimes help, if users could delete their CNF.
Quickest way, would be by using the PS2-Browsers "MC-Manager".
-Install ICONs (if no are present) to the Config-Dir.

[dmcbudman]

yeah sure would simplify things greatly for new users
im sure the tools needed for this are already available (ps2shell+startup scripts)
but something made specifily for FMCB would be much better

I REALLY REALLY LIKE your idea for the Hardcoded Installer, That would be a good idea so you can just config your FREEMCB.CNF and put it it in the installer with whatever BOOT.ELFs you want,install and your done!

Did you tell jimmi your idea?

[V3nn3tj3]

maybe a button (select or so) when you press it you go to config screen of FMB ...
there you can set all your elfs, etc (like ULE)
