Can Any1 Get PS2MAME Workin With FREE MCBOOT?

hi all, i have a working mame dvd (NOT cd) on my ps2 which comes with 30 games. it loads and plays all the games fine when using swap magic 3.6 (dvd version).

thing is, if i try to make a new iso of this dvd, and then patch it with ESR disk patcher, and then load it via ESR in FREE MCBOOT, it gets to the loading screen but wont bring up the list of games. There is a Magenta coloured strip when it hangs, which may be some kind of error code?

Anyway, maybe someone has some ideas of how i might get it to work plz? or do you think i will just have to stick with swap magic for this dvd..

Same problem with ME... please help us.. i want play MAME on my PS2 slim scph - 90006

But my PS2 can't read PS2 backup game.. im using VERBATIM DVD..

I want play it with my ESR on my FREE MCBOOT..

sorry i cant speak english well XD

so, you can play other games on your slim ps2, or is it only mame which does not work?

mame and everything else works ok with my swap magic disks. i use breaker pro for psx backups.

i heard that some emulators have trouble with esr/free mc boot

ps. i also have a slim, a 7000x model

Why do you have to use ESR to boot the DVD containing PS2MAME? Why don't you just boot that DVD directly with Swap Magic?

I think that ESR's MECHACON call emulation may be messing up PS2MAME, so maybe you should not launch PS2MAME via ESR.

yes, it does work ok with swap magic, but it would have been nice to be able to play ps2mame without having to swap disks

it's ok i guess, no big deal. was just wondering if anyone did manage to get mame working with free mc boot/esr, and if so, how?
