Memory card exploit Free McBoot (working with old slim PSTwo) Download vmlinux and initrd files. Note: It is easier to start the Linux Live DVD and extract the baseimage from the DVD. Hi If i install Free MCboot will it modify the ps2 bios files? And will free mcboot only start like the independence exploit with a ps1 game in it?

Step 1:Once you've downloaded the file, copy the FREE_MCBOOT.ELF and the INSTALL folder to the USB. Step 2: Start up your PS2 and put in the USB Stick and AR MAX EVO. Step 3: Once AR has booted go to the Media Player.
