    How does this differ from something like FreeMcBoot?

    I get that this is better than the old titles.db + specific PS1 disc method, but FreeMcBoot memory cards already made that approach obsolete years ago. Is it just that it supports more models than the older exploits?

        I do not understand, could you elaborate please?

        I was under the impression the cards I have (1 regular with Mcboot and one sd adapter) would work universally.

        Edit: ohh, this is about the 90k models isn’t it?

    that’s awesome!

    i remember like 8 years ago now my college roommates and i had gotten a ps2 for cheap and we were trying to mod it with cogswap so we could play custom guitar hero songs. not sure if anyone here has ever tried it, but basically you stick something in the disc tray so that the disc will spin while the disc is still accessible, and at a certain point in the boot process you have to take the spinning disc out of the ps2 and replace it with a disc loaded with modded software REALLY fast.

    we tried for hours but never got it working, so this is super cool! awesome that you don’t have to perform a physical feat of dexterity to mod your ps2 now lol

          Maybe it existed before for other models and just those Japanese ones didn’t have the exploit yet
