need help with multi freemcboot

i have 2 ps2's :
Fat v7 SCPH-39002 modchip 1.0bios
Slim v15 SCPH-77002 unmodded 2.0bios

now i created a multiboot freemc on the Fat console for the reason that the dvddrive is starting to play up and so i could load hdadvance from mc, that seems to all go well, but the card wont work on my slim i tried adding DVDELF.BIN from the link in the psx-scene tut but still works on my fat modded console but not the slim, any help would be much appreciated as im at a roadblock ive read all the tut through over and over but no answer for this problem. thanks.

edit: ive also tryed to do it directly from the slim but the only game i have with an elf file is hardware online arena that came with the PAL-AUS network adaptor i got many years ago, i tryed to make a backup of it and replace the NTGUI_CD.ELF file with the ulaunchelf 4.42a boot.elf using apache 1.1 and i cant get it to work either tryd to swap disc many times but after swap disc and select network config or other options it freezes , so i think this game not compatable, again any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks jamie.

Which 'BIOS-Versions' are you talking about here?
Sincerly not about the PS2's BIOS, because 390xx-models have BIOS 1.60 and 770xx BIOS 2.20.
How did you even get those numbers?
You can't know your BIOS-Version, if you didn't already started homebrew on your console...

Multiboot? You mean Multi-Install, right?

What happens, if the MC is inserted?
Does it loop on a black-screen (until you remove the MC), or does nothing happen at all (as if the FMCB-MC weren't present)?

That wo(uld)n't change anything...

What do those both PS2s show, when you press TRIANGLE in the main-menu of the OSDSYS (where 'Browser' and 'Systemconfiguration' is located at)?

HOA should work!
If I remember correctly there were more than one user-report, that it is indeed compatible (but I'm not 100%ly sure).

What happens, if you put the FMCB'ed MC into the second slot of your slim-PS2?

sorry yeah not bios verion then it was actually sony driver listed in the browser,

and yeah multi install,

and yes it is a continuous loop of freemcboot screen but i am able to luanch hdloader, esr, sms, ulaunch etc etc from shortcut buttons still,

fat v7 - Console SCPH-39002
Browser 1.20
CD Player 1.20
Playstation Driver 1.10
DVD Player 2.13A
and a MAC address.

slim v15 - Console SCPH-77002

a Demo that came with my ps2 a long time ago that just says PBPX-95506
and OPS2M DEMOS 09,10 i patched the elfs of le mans and and f1 no go.
and a demo of gravity sucks which i have not tryed

i added sticky tape to the sensors on the ps2 also to fool it into thinking the lid is closed if that makes any difference. and use a headphone male end to block the disc stopper.

Ah, I see now... You meant the 'Playstation-Driver'.:lol:
But this is not related to PS2-Stuff at all, but PS1-Stuff. ;)

Curious,... It starts correctly, but the modified OSDSYS seems to crash...
Are you sure that this PS2 is mod-free?
The same happens for example with Crystal-Chips...

If it is really mod-free, I suspect a problem with the CNF, but I'm not sure about it.

Hwwwwoooh,... I'm not sure how to help ya, since I probably do not have the same discs.

But why do you want to install it that way anyway...
I don't think a faulty install is the cause of your problem. <-- Atleast the 'FMCB-loader'/osdxxx.elf seems to be correctly installed.

You might try to reformat your MC with 'MC Annihilator v2' and then reinstall the Multi-Version-Installation.

the fat PS2 is modded it has a messiah chip i think it was called i got it done a long time ago in my first post i said "fat spchxxxx modded". will that cause a bad install? i was under the impression u could still make a mc but it will not work correct if try to use it. i still thought if i make it on the modded fat and switch to the slim it would be fine but seems that my assumptions are wrong i guess :(

coz i read somewhere that u should disable modchip but im clueless on how to do anything like that and if it requires me taking solder wires off then ill give it a miss.

im gonna go to my local ebgames store and see if they have agent under fire second hand and just try from the slim again, i mainly wanted to make a mcboot for the slim as it has no mods but i also wanted to use it for the fat just to launch hdloader without use a disc as the dvd drive seems to be on its last days.

thanks for the help thus far ill report if all goes well wen i get back.

i found 007 nightfire at store for 10bucks i made backup and switched driving elf but i swear i did it 20 times and each time load screen freeze when trying to load the driving level from menu what do i do, many people said this game works so i must be doing something wrong.
i swap disc as fast as possible at menu screen then select enimies vanquished driving level which i read here should work:
Turn 007: NightFire into a Boot Disk - Page 3 - SKSApps.com - Console Applications - Gaming

anyone have any insight ill keep attempting but i dont want to f up the laser or the motor doin this a million times. :(

It could, but I asked if the slim might be modded too (even if you don't know it yet).

It starts (you see FMCB-Logo on start-up), so the loader is correctly encrypted and installed.

That is meant for the time when you want to boot FMCB, not when you install it...
I guess, there are not so many modchips, which make troubles while installing.

Try to reformat your MC with MC Annihilator v2, like I told you and re-instal the FMCB-Multi-Version-Install.

about the slim being modded i dont think it has i broke the warranty seal myself to tape up the sensor button thingys and seen no evidence of modchips and wen i got it from a friend he claimd he hardly used it which i belive and ill try the mcanihilator app next.

screw it i ended up buying swap magic plus coder v3.8 way easier to do from that and atleast it comes with built in coder which has action reaplay cheat codes usage , thanks for all the help anyways hopefully once i get the swap magic disc all my troubles will be in the past. i swear i must have attempted the ps2 game swap method on multiple games over 100 times i dont wanna keep doing it incase i fux my laser or the drive motor. well anyway again thanks alot help was much appreciated.

I already told you... FMCB is CORRECTLY installed!
As long as the FMCB-Logo shows up on start-up, the FMCB-Loader is correctly installed (and you said it shows up on both PS2s).

Good luck,... It won't fix your problem, if my tipps&suggestions didn't helped,...
But hey,... You didn't even try what I told you, did you (...not to say you didn't tested anything of it at all, but I'm really curious what you've done...)?

-re-partitioned and re-formatted MC with MCAv2?
-Installed FMCB as Multi-Install and without a custom CNF (if a CNF is in the FMCB_CFG-Folder, just delete it).
I bet you can start apps on both PS2s (even if the OSDSYS only works on one in your case), simply because you can see the FMCB-Logo...
