Look on the bottom for the model number.Р”Р„s we can see I have a 9000X series PS2. The first thing to do is determine what version of PS2 you have. Using the network interface we can load the disc images from a shared folder on our network, then the only bottleneck is the speed of our network. Thankfully, the PS2 has a built in advantage to get around this problem(at least the slim has it built in). This can be a problem because the PS2 used USB 1.1 which is too slow to reliably play disc images without stutters or errors. The most common way is load the images off of a USB hard drive or thumb drive. This can be done a couple different ways. I just wanted to share my adventure in loading disc images (ISOs) on my PS2. The information may no longer be up-to-date. When ready, choose the first option to boot the game.Important: This was written June of 2017. When the white ESR screen appears, put the disc in the drive, and wait for the message at the bottom to say that you've got valid media in the disk.

It should only take a few moments.Р”В¤) Burn the patched ISO back to a writeable media (match the media to the original - some PS2 games still come on CD, so be aware of that).Р”Тђ) Boot your PS2 with just the mcboot prepared memory card (no disc in the drive). Click the 'Patch ISO' button, point to your ISO and select it. If that doesn't work, run it from the command line:Р”Р„ window pops up. If your OS supports it, you can probably just double-click the 'ESRPatchJava.jar' file (included in the 7z file at the top of the post).

There are tools to convert between the formats, which I'll cover specifically if people ask.Р”Р€) Patch the ISO. The important thing is it must be an ISO, and not any other format (no bin/cue, no mdf/mds, etc). There are plenty of tools and methods to do this, so I won't cover it here. Other Linux users, you'll need to find a way to install Sun's Java on your system (don't use other Java like icedtea or blackdown).Р”Сћ) Take your original PS2 disk, and make it an ISO. Ubuntu users install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-bin packages.

Mac users should have it as part of their default install. To play backups, you need to do the following:Р”РЋ) If you don't already have it, install Java on your machine. You should see the FreeMCBoot logo, and a new menu. Not that it's bad, just that they can't guarantee what will happen.Р”В¦) Now take your freshly installed mcboot memory card, stick it in a virgin PS2 and power up. It's recommended not to use freemcboot to boot an already hardware modded PS2 by the authors. There is also a 'format memory card' tool you can use if your card doesn't have enough free space, and you don't want to save what's on the card.Р”Тђ) It'll take a few moments. Make sure that you remove all memory cards other than the one you want to install mcboot on (if you're booting from mcboot already, obviously you'll need two cards installed - your boot card, and your to-be-installed-card).Р”В¤) Follow your nose, and choose 'install', picking the card you want to install on. The MCBoot authors recommend a genuine Sony card, but if you use a third party one and it works, please let us know in this thread.Р”Р€) Find a PS2 that can boot homebrew CDs (modchipped, SwapMagic, or already using mcboot), and boot the burned CD. Burn the ISO to a CD-ROM.Р”Р€) Find a PS2 memory card with at least 3MB of free space. 1) Decompress the 7-Zip file ( Windows, Mac, Linux users install 'p7zip' from your package manager)Р”Сћ) Inside is an iso file, and a jar file.
