Free MCBoot loading problem

Hello,

I live in the netherlands and so I have an european ps2FAT SCPH-30004.

I wanted to play american games too, so i bought a american ps2 Slim SCPH-70012 extra and import some games.

A guy I know has installed MC boot for me on a memorycard 64 MB. Yet when I try to start it on de slim (US) ps2, I only get black screen.. I won't even get to see the LaunchELF.
When I use the card in the FAT(EU) I get the LaunchELF.
Now I get the ISO off a game I own (Mana Khemia 2 US) patch the game, and burn the image with ImgBurn at 1x speed. on a Verbatim DVD-R.

When I start the ESR and try to load the game, I only see black screen. The ESR isalso telling me 'unknown media in drive' I got this with 3 other games aswell.. (Ar Tonelico, Suikoden 3, Full Metal Alchemist)

When I ask him, he doesn't know the answers aswell, since he has never had any problems before.

So my questions are,
1. How can I get my slim ps2 to open up MCboot, so I can use that PS2 aswell?
2. What goes wrong in my process of ripping/patching/burning/playing for the ps2FAT?

Sorry if I posted this on the wrong board, feel free to move it.
Thanks in advance for all the help!

You need a muti region install of FMCB so get
This http://psx-scene.com/forums/f153/uno...staller-96372/ unzip put on usb stick make sure it is over 8M for backup of MC just in case
put usb in PS2 and make sure it is the one that can use FMCB go to uLaunchELF navigate to usb run the elf that is in folder on usb when FMCB installer runs backup MC on usb stick run format tool for clean install then run full install once it is done should work on Both PS2 models that is region free FMCB ;)

This is how I do it ;)
Alternative is to backup your stuff on USB before you run installer it will be easy to copy back to MC after but do not copy BAEXEC-SYSTEM any like it multi has more then one or SYS-CONF those are use by FMCB and with new version old will not work

actually that should be 64 MB if possible if not you will lose something like saves;)

Thank you for your answer! It didn't help me though..

When I downloaded the file and tried to install it through a USB device, I got the error that a multi installation was already installed. So I guess that shouldn't be the problem..

Any other sollutions?

The only way for multi region is 1.8c and sounds like you have 1.8b get the original 1.8b uninstall full with it try again :D

Okay when I try to dump the file of the memory card on the USB, it gives me the error 'dumping failed error code- 2' when I check over the USB the dumped file is there though. When I try to uninstall the Multi-Install it gives me the error 'cache initialization failed error code -2'

I have checked the board of the fmcb for clues about this but I could not find anything. I have tried over and over by removing the memory card and resetting the system but the error stays the same. Do you know what's going wrong here?

Maybe the MagicGate is fake on that card if so FMCB will not install properly

If you have a way to install without the FMCB MC
I would recommend to format complete and reinstall might work but not sure because of those errors

Or better yet get Official MC and install on that

Thanks for the answer. I have asked the guy who made this for me to look into it, in the hope we can figure out the problem.

I'll lt youknow how it turns out.

Did you try again, immediately after it failed? Sometimes the clone cards take a while to 'initialize' themselves before the PS2 can communicate properly with them.

If you can, try to copy all your saves off your memory card and format your memory card with MC Annihilator. Then try installing FMCB again.
