HDLDump Server (I'm away from my PS2 for the moment so I forget the exact version, also requires an MC if your PS2's IP is not the default) OPL 0.9.2, both GSM and non-GSM builds, with VMCĮSR r9b (non-GUI version, for hands-free ESR disc booting, as well as mcard version) Neither I, nor the developers of any included software, are responsible for any damage resulting from use of this image. Make sure you back up any data in the first 7.5GB of the HDD you write it to before you apply this image. Note: This image will overwrite the first 7.5GB of the HDD you write it to. I now have a preliminary image ready for testing. This will not work with virtually all slims (unsure if it will work on the earliest slims when soldering an IDE header to the motherboard, as with "HD Combo" etc, feel free to try if you have such a setup).Īs you may remember, I stated that I was going to be working on an FHDB 1.93 "Noobie Package" to make it easier for people to get a full-featured PS2 HDD setup running. NOTE: This is only for use with a fat PS2 with network adapter and HDD. Anyone that has a pic of the sticker on the bottom of the PS2 with the date code circled, is welcome to share it. If I have missed anything, or have something incorrect, please let me know, and I will update, and or change this first post. Swap Magic, AR Max w/media player, mod-chip (Modbo 4.0 apparently works well.) What other home brew launching alternatives do I have if I find my PS2 has BIOS v230?Ī. Not even for using the cheating function. Yes, the Codebreaker method doesn't work, as the program is no longer compatible with this version PS2 at all. Are there any FMCB install methods that work on other slim consoles, but not on SCPH-9XXXX?Ī. Can the PS2's BIOS be flashed with v220, if I find out I have v230? (Don't upload your BIOS here, it is copyright of Sony, and will get you banned.) Use the BIOS dumping tool attached at the bottom of this post to dump you BIOS and see what version it is.(DUMPBIOS-MASS.zip) You will need a method to launch homebrew to run this program. How can I tell what BIOS my date code C console has?Ī. So for consoles with 8C we can't be sure about FMCB compatibility without checking the BIOS version explicitly. Thus consoles with date code 8C may have either that bios or the preceding bios v2.20 which does allow FMCB booting. It was during the third quarter of 2008 that Sony switched to using bios v2.30. Are there any date code 8c PS2 that have the v220 BIOS?Ī.Yes. If it has date code 8c look at next question. If it has date code 8a or 8b, it will work with FMCB. Look at the sticker on the bottom of the console. How can I tell if my SCPH-9XXXX v18 has BIOS v220, after I have purchased it and opened the box?Ī. The Lego Batman bundle is reportedly BIOS v230. Are there any ways to know what SCPH-9XXXX v18 NOT to buy without opening the package?Ī. The "Singstar Pop Hits 3" Bundle (not the 2007 bundle with the white PS2)is reported as BIOS v220 (no Guarantees though) I can't find this bundle online, so if you have a link to it, or know a store that sells it please share. Some 8c may have BIOS v220, most are v230. If the packaging has a window to allow you to see the sticker, or if the retailer will let you open the box in the store, look for date code 8b. How do I know if I'm getting a FMCB compatible PS2 without first purchasing the system?ġ. No, Sony removed the feature that FMCB used to boot the hacked OSDSYS. Can FMCB be updated to work with v18 consoles that have BIOS version 230?Ī. Which SCPH-9XXXX v18 consoles work with FMCB? I'll attempt to use a noob's typical line of questioning as the format. This is an attempt to consolidate what we know so far into one thread. After reading around the site for information regarding SCPH-9XXXX v18 PS2 FMCB compatibility, I realized that the info is spread out across many threads.
