please help me install FMCB on my memory card!

[handsomeyang]

Hello, I live in Sydney and I have an unmodified PS2 fat console (30002). Could somebody help me install FMCB on my memory card? By the way, I have access to a modified PS2 slim console (50006), is it possible to use the modified console to install FMCB on a memory card to be used with the unmodified one? Thanks!!

If the slim is the same region as your fat PS2 then yes,you can install fmcb using your slim ps2 and use the card on you fat ps2.You can install it even if it's not the same region but that will take 1.8mb of free space(if it's the same region it will take ~300kb)

No. Those two consoles belong to different MG-regions. An installed FMCB setup will only work on a console of the same region as the one on which the installation was performed.

But since the unmodified console is an old fat PS2 model, you should be able to use the old PS1 exploit to boot a homebrew launcher (I'd suggest uLaunchELF), and then use that to start the FMCB installer from a USB device.

Installation of the old PS1 exploit is not dependent on the console used to perform its installation, so you can use the modified console to install those exploit files to that memory card. Just make sure that the exploit folder name, as well as the PS1 game chosen as 'trigger' are correctly chosen for the region of the target console (the unmodified one).

Sorry, but that information is completely wrong.

There is NO way to make a proper FMCB installation for another region than the one of the console on which the installation is performed.

You were probably thinking of the so-called "multi-install", but that does not allow installation for other regions. It only allows installation for all other models of the same region as the console used to make the installation. (Non-multi install is only guaranteed to work on the very same model as the installing console.)

As for the 1.8 MB cost you mention, that has nothing at all to do with the use of normal VS multi install. That relates only to the choice of DVDELF.BIN, which will use the larger size on a fat PS2 unless an external smaller file is supplied in the subfolder "INSTALL\INJECT\" of the installation package. On a slim PStwo the smaller file will be used by default anyway, since those models have the small files in their bios.

Ok sorry about the wrong info then,guess I understand it wrong while I was reading the guide when I install FMCB for the first time

...Um is it be possible if the slim and the fat PS2 are same region?

hi guys, thanks a lot for the replies.

I am newbie. Could you please give me more details or point me to some links about PS1 exploit?
