Configuring FMCB for more apps

I'm getting ready to burn an image of the FMCB to a disc. I wanted to put in USB advance b/c I have a slim PS2 and I want to run games from a drive. I added the USB advance ELF to the install directory, but I'm sure there's more to it than that... I read that you have to change a configuration file so that additional apps will show up after the install. Do I change this config. file before I burn to disc? Or if I do it after, should I not even add the USB advance ELF to the image and just add it later if possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!


P.S. Sorry if I'm just being ignorant about something obvious, I'm new to this stuff :) I have Swap Magic 3.8 discs, and a 70000 slim PS2.

Put the apps you want in the Install directory, then when FMCB is loaded you can use the config tool to add additional apps and their locations etc

If you have access to a USB device after you install FMCB, then you can easily configure extra apps and add them after the install.

If the CD is you only means and you wish to add apps to it now, you can either place them in the INSTALL folder or in the APPS folder inside the INSTALL folder and they will be copied to your MC duringthe installation process. Once the install is complete, you can then run the Configurator to configure those extra apps you just added.

The Advanced User guide tells you where they will be copied to and shows how to configure FMCB.

Yeah, I have some flash drives that I could use, so I'll just add them after the install. Thanks so much! Now to install the extra apps from USB, do I just open the configurator and it'll give me an option to check USBs for ELFs?

If you place your extra apps on a USB stick, yes you can just run the configurator and it will allow you to set them for the OSD menu and button presses right off the USB stick.

But if you want to run them off the MC, you will need to use uLaunchELF to copy them to the MC first, then use the configurator to assign them afterwards.

Read thru the Advanced User guide for info on how to configure your apps to run from both, as you can set up to 3 locations for FMCB to search for each Item.:)

Cool, sounds great. Thanks so much for the help!

Where do you go in uLaunchELF to copy the ELFs to the mc?

yes u use ulaunch to copy ya stuff over from usb to the mc and you use free memory boot configurator to create the paths to the application you want to run from the splash screen its pretty easy have a go. to answer ya question use the filebrowser in ulaunch.

FileBrowser {press O button }Default button press from the main screen
choose mass: for the USB device
press X button {Default button press} on each item you want to copy
Press R1 to open the submenu and copy is chosen by default, press O button

You will now see a green icon in upper right of screen to show there are files in the 'clipboard'

press triangle to go to the MC and press O to enter the MC
select a folder to paste to and press O button to enter the folder

press R1 again for the menu and Paste is chosen by default, just press O to begin the paste.....
