Yep, that would work fine. You actually aren't putting anything at all on the PS2 itself, it's all on the memory card.Gvaz said:When you say "bad disks" what do you mean?
Cheap ass DVD's no name brands you buy at Wal-Mart!
QUOTE(Ritsuki @ Apr 10 2010, 09:07 PM) Is it possible to install FreeMcBoot from a PS2 with swap trick and use the memory card on another PS2 ? I want to do this, cause my PS2 lens is broken, and I can't find somewhere to repair it for a resonable price (and I've already bought a PS3 Slim)

So let me get this straight. Do I need something else to play PS2 games from HDD?

You need a memory card with Free MC Boot installed and a controller as well. And maybe some small usb storage to copy Open PS2 Loader to your memory card.

1) Will this enable my PS2 to play burnt games from a different region?
2) Will this enable my PS2 to play burnt PS1 games?
3) This softmod will be installed in my memory card, right? So, nothing to the PS2 itself?

No
Correct...which means if you take out that MC then your PS2 is neutered.

If you have:
a V9 or V10 ps2(there's some security removed in these models, most likely to save production costs)[i still don't have any clue if it works on slims or not]
a ps1 high TOC game
and you are capable and willing to swap discs, then you can play ps1 backups:
Insert the ps1 retail disc, let the ps2 browser identify the disc, start uLaunchELF, make it stop the drive, swap for your backup, select boot disc.
personager said:Alright, so I did each and everything the guide says. Now, when I reach mission 2, return to the main menu and save the game, I then swap the retail disk for the burnt one. As soon as I do that, the game loads for a couple of seconds and starts playing again, but the background music of the main menu disappears .I then start mission 2 as the guide instructs, but when I do so, all I get is a black screen. I'm not exactly sure about what I'm doing wrong. Any help?
What exactly do you mean by "the correct moment"? I have a phat PS2 so when I eject the retail disk, the game freezes. When I put the burnt disc in, it waits for a few seconds and the game starts playing again (without background music). If you mean that I should swap discs without the game freezing then I don't think that's possible because the PS2 takes time to eject the tray and put it back inWiiPower said:personager said:Alright, so I did each and everything the guide says.

Hmm, do you play to play ESR patched discs later? If yes, you can patch a game you want to play, and burn it already. Then see if the ps2 browser is able to say that there's a video dvd inserted, if not, your burns are bad or your laser or both.
Also, i don't know the guide, but be sure to swap the disc(swap = change disc without the ps2 noticing) in the correct moment. Which i hope is a moment when the drive is stopped.
