Share your FREEMCB.CNF

[stickman81]

I know there are people far better than I am at customizing the FREEMCB.CNF - so why not share your knowledge by posting them here. Everyone should know ahead of time that these "WILL NOT" necessarily work for you. You would have to ensure that you have the same .elf files (get them on your own - don't post here!) & also double check that the locations of the .elf's given in the .cnf file were matched exactly. Just a thought. The FREEMCB.CNF that JNABK gives as an example in the tutorial is given below. All the 'red' words explaining the line have been editted out.

Here's my basic setup.

I've got everything loading from my USB stick including uLE now to save a ton of space on my 8MB cards.

edit - here's the run down.

[Horscht]

here is mine, setup like this:

HDLoader, unlaunchelf, codebreaker 9.3, SMS, FMCB_cfg and hdl-server loaded onto the USB stick, all except the server also incorporated into osdsys.

autoboot: HDL

L1 on boot launches ulaunchelf
L2: SMS
R1: hdl_srv
R2: CB 9.3

lol, mines all decked out. i wont post the cnf but i will post what i have in the cnf

fmcb 1.6 osdsys hacked, displaying:
Browser
System Configuration
uLaunchELF 4.26beta 001 [(my own hacked 4.25)]
PS2 Link
SMS
CB 10
HDloader 8c
FMCB 1.6 Configuration

x=load hdl
circle=load ule

[dlanor]

uLaunchELF 4.26beta 001 [(my own hacked 4.25)]

Though it may be a bit off-topic here, I can't help wondering about the purpose of your hack. If it's something generally useful, it might be better to add it to the proper release.

Best regards: dlanor

[aar36095]

My hacked uLE just forces 420p for the better of my TV, for some reason it refuses to save non interlaced whenever I boot it up.

Here is my olympics themed ascii art cnf. The exact options and shortcuts are displayed below in the text.
I'm still looking for a font that is the same as the one used in the PS2 BIOS, as well as information on what text encodings the BIOS supports. I believe it supports single byte shift JIS but am not 100% sure as some combinations of latin (aka non-script) based characters get displayed as Japanese, leading me to believe it supports double byte encoding.

All displayed text is out centered (by the PS2 BIOS?) so use an editor that has centered justification to adjust the ascii art if you plan to make your own.

I'm currently using the freeware SuperEdi to make .cnfs with different encodings. Notepad will not work unless you have those languages you want to encode the text to installed as your main or alternate encoding. I don't recommend that method as it may change poorly coded multi-language capable programs to another language.
This .cnf is encoded in single byte ascii.

THAT IS AWESOME! I'd love to learn ASCII, but I don't have much imagination or creativity skills.

[TnA]

There are ASCII-Builder-Tools to convert images, or you try to make it per Hand.
