PS1/2 PS2 FREEMCBOOT Freezes Bios

[XeSanti]

Good night people, some days ago i bought a cheap ps2 slim for use with usb, the motor dont spin anyway, i got a other ps2, its a fat model with freemcboot and opl and works good, i put the memory card with freemcboot of the fat console and the slim didnt recognize freemcboot but the memory appears on the memory card menu, if i press the r1 button with the memory card the console load ulaunch and with that i can load opl and every elf but, so i got a empty sony 8mb memory card and i downloaded the latest freemcboot installer in elf, it was installed on the memory card successfully when i restart the ps2 now have the freemcboot logo but when it goes to main browser the console freezes if i remove the memory card the browser loads, the image gets stuck but the ambience music still on, the console is a scph 77001 ntsc and has a chip toxic but i think its a fake copy
because it does not let me save settings
I leave this photos
as you can see, if the console boots to browser freezes but if i press r1 loads ulaunch and then i can load opl to lau nch games but i wanna get to the freemcboot options in browser but it freezes, any comment is welcome and thanks for watching pd: sorry for my bad english

Extremely likely to be a conflict with the chip (which also tries to modify the osd/browser in rom as it is loaded), you may want to see if the problem disappears by just removing power to the chip (and if that's the case, maybe put a switch in series)

for what I can read your best choice would be to use the modchip as intended and install toxic os, it has its own app launcher from where you can launch opl or any other app you want.

Hello,If i press l1 ps2 boots opl, so i can play from there, i think im gonna stay like this

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So if I remove the chip, can the console work with fcmb? if I press l1 to turn on the ps2 load the opl directly and play without problems but hey, I'll be playing with the fat and this slim I'll keep it for other things, I think I'll see if I can get a disk motor since the one of this does not do anything, I think the lens does work

the fat is the superior choice, you just get yourself a network adapter and an hdd and you'll be good until your controllers disintegrate from playing.

if you remove the chip you'll be able to use fmcb without interference, but if you decide to fix the cdvd unit you wont be able to play disc backups. but if you are able to boot opl without the aid of fmcb then you are good, fmcb is only a mean to run homebrew, so it doesn't really matter if you can't use it as long as you still have a mean to boot the homebrew you want (opl in this case).
I myself have a fat ps2 with internal hdd, an original matrix chip installed and no fmcb or free hdboot, just the modified browser 2.0 and everything works great.

In my country the HDD adapters are difficult and expensive to get, I have like 4 usb with different games, I have almost all the games I want and also ps1 games if I put the memory card load everything but not the menu, I'll see if I get a spin motor and see if it works, in that ps2 the lens moves but the disc does not move I tried with the sensors and that and nothing, I'm very sure it's the engine, well, see you

When installing FMCB on the memory card, did you select multi-system or single-system?

 

[XeSanti]

Single system

When installing FMCB on the memory card, did you select multi-system or single-system?

 

[zfreeman]

For single-system, FMCB will likely only work on that specific model from which it was installed. Memory cards with a multi-system FMCB installation will work on all FMCB-compatible models.

If you install FMCB on a different PS2, single-system FMCB will not work on other PS2 models.
