FMCB v1.7 Multi-Version Won't Boot

**taimaishu** · 10-10-2008,04:43 AM

I borrowed a friends SCPH-30001 and used the CodeBreaker guide to install v1.7 on an official 8MB Sony MC. I used the multi-version install and everything goes off without a hitch, and Free MC Boot starts up just fine on that console. However, when I pull the memory card and put it in my SCPH-90001, it refuses to boot. I get no FMCB splash screen, and it goes straight to the normal PS2 menu as if it doesn't even know the FMCB card exists. I've tried this with 2 separate memory cards and the results are the same on both, SCPH-30001 boots FMCB, SCPH-90001 won't. I'm not sure if there's anything I should be looking for.

Note: The SCPH-90001 is the one that's been going out in the LEGO Batman bundle, maybe a new minor revision or something?

Thanks for any help.

it looks like the new slim ps2s doesnt work with fmcb, and it just boots osdsys from the bios...
it works on the older slims though (7xxxxx)

@iwasaperson: Can you please post your PS2-Bios-Version (press TRIANGLE in main-menu)?

You can try a "normal install" and rename the osdmain.elf to the corresponding version + 0.1.

So if your shown version is 2.1, just rename your file to "osd220.elf".

The triangle menu lists:

Browser: 1.40
CD Player: 2.00
Playstation Driver: 2.00
DVD Player: 3.11U

Which should I be going off of?

Hm,...

osd150.elf is already listed, so that shouldn't be your problem.

Did you tried to install an older version of FMCB (e.g. 1.5, or 1.6)?

**taimaishu** · 10-10-2008,12:06 PM

Just tried out and v1.5 and v1.6 and the same thing happens.

Have you tried with mc inserted in slot 2 ?

**taimaishu** · 10-10-2008,12:41 PM

Yep, doesn't seem to make a difference though.

**jimmikaelkael** · 10-10-2008,12:50 PM

I guess like you have no way to boot homebrews, it will be difficult to have a bios dump ?

**TnA** · 10-10-2008,12:54 PM

Your problems seems curious.

Btw.: You can try to run it as DVD-Update instead.
If it work as DVD-Update, your PS2-Version might search in another folder for the osd-update.
