FreeMCBoot is one of the most tried and tested softmod methods you can find. Once you have a memory card that is FMCB‘ed, the PS2 will detect it on the Memory Card and boot it up. This guide will show you how to create a Memory Card capable with FMCB capabilities, as well as explaining how it will work. An exploited memory card will work on all versions of the PS2.
This softmod requires access to a console has already been modded, which will be used to transfer the mod data to the Memory Card.
Back up the Memory Card you wish to install FreeMCBoot on. If something goes wrong during install, you could potentially lose your game saves.

You must have either of these:
- A hardmodded PS2 console (had a chip installed to give it modded abilities).
- An original (Fat) PS2 with FreeHDBoot softmod installed on it.
- An already existing, working FreeMCBoot Memory Card.
You also need:
- A computer (operating system does not matter).
- A USB removable storage drive (512MB or more).
- An 8mb Memory Card (official 8mb is preferable, third party is a risk).
You also need the following software (all free):
- FreeMCBoot (original).
- uLaunchELF or other ELF launcher (supplied by existing mod).
The FreeMCBot package comes with a file that ends with .ELF. ELF file are executable by a modified PlayStation system, and in the package provided comes with a FreeMCBoot installer. Unfortunately, that’s why you need a pre-modded console.
FreeMCBoot Installer
Firstly, download the files above and place them on a FAT/FAT32 formatted memory stick. Extract the entire zip archive onto the memory stick, as all the files in the zip archive are required for the console to be able to open it. Safely eject the memory stick from your machine to ensure the files are correctly written to the memory stick, and then transfer it to the PS2.
Boot up the PS2 and open up uLaunchELF. Navigate to MASS:/ to access the memory stick we have plugged in. The memory stick should show up similar to above (files beginning with a dot is junk from my mac, which may not be there for you – which is fine). If so, launch up FMCBInstaller.elf.
The launcher will display the FreeMCBoot Installer, a multi-purpose tool which will allow you to prep a memory card for FreeMCBoot, as well as install FreeHDBoot to a hard drive and various other memory card related functions. For the purposes of preparing FreeMCBoot for another console, we will need Multi-install.
The FMCB installer will warn you about the multi-installation process. So long as you backed up your Memory Card, this should be okay. The warning is that the filesystem needs to be modified to allow all systems to be able to read the FreeMCBoot exploit, which is obviously not a designed function for the Memory Card. If something goes wrong during install, your Memory Card could become corrupted. FMCB Installer can revive the Memory Card, but your save data will be lost. If you back up your saves, you will be fine. If you do not back up, beware.
The system will then ask you what memory card you will like exploited. If only one is present in the Memory Card slots, it will automatically detect it. Select OK and the FMCB Installer will proceed to exploiting your Memory Card with FreeMCBoot.
Once the installation is complete, you can safely exit out of the installer. Once the console drops back to the browse menu, turn it off and plug your newly exploited memory card into your non-exploited console.

FreeMCBoot
When you boot your PS2 up with the FreeMCBoot memory card inserted, you will find the boot sequence will not execute. Also, instead of just ‘Browser’ and ‘System Configuration’, you should now have a lot more options available. If so, congratulations you have successfully softmodded your console!
If you have opted for a multi-install as instructed in this guide, then the memory card can be used to execute the FreeMCBoot on any console that is not the latest release of the slimline console (SCPH-9000x). This means that combined with the memory stick (unless you copy your FMCB Installer files to your memory card via uLaunchELF), you can potentially install this on your friends’ consoles, and then everyone can benefit from the world of softmodding.
FreeMCBoot without Pre-modded Console
For those new to the scene, it’s a pretty tall ask to already have a modded console. If you are unable to go through the FreeHDBoot method which can be done without one, then your next course of action is to purchase a FreeMCBoot memory card.
Unfortunately we do not provide such service (yet), however the PS2 Reddit community has a contact that will do this for you with no labour charge. Simply pay the fee for the memory card unit, and they will send you one with multi FreeMCBoot pre-installed. Like mentioned in this guide, this will work for all PS2 consoles excluding the last production range (SCPH-9 range). Details can be found in the sidebar on Reddit (mobile users, click community information).

Last updated: 9th May 2019 News/release from jimmikaelkael1.5
Now there's a Free McBoot Configurator (made by suloku), see links.
Loader side :
- OSDSYS Hack, by Neme (You can reload FMCB from OSDSYS, great work Neme ).
- Added Rescue loading (tries before all things to boot 'mass0:/RESCUE.ELF', 'mc?:/RESCUE.ELF', passing to another if the previous is not found)
- Added third entry (LK_???_E3) for each key in cnf file.
- Added entry for Skip-HDD in cnf file.
- Fixed 1st controller problem with slims ps2.
Installer side :
- Compatility with scph-10000 by loading X-modules (XSIO2MAN, XMCMAN, XMCSERV, XPADMAN) from the same folder where installer is running, by Coolaan.
- Config folder renamed ('SYS-CONF/FREEMCB.CNF' --> 'FMCB-CNF/FREEMCB.CNF'), and icons added, by JNABK.
- The file to embed must now be 'EMBED.ELF', and placed in same folder where installer is running (This option is only useful for developpers as ffgriever's cdvd init and multilanguage fixes are not applied to the embedded elf).
- You can modify your FREEMCB.CNF before install and put it in same folder where installer is running, If the file is not existing on MC, it will be copied as config.
- You can put a BOOT.ELF in same folder where installer is running, it will be copied as mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF (if the file is not already existing on MC).
- Modified default config, more noob-friendly.
- Install with Cross-Linking available.
- You can exit installer by loading 'mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF', 'mc?:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF', 'mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF' (passing to another if the previous is not existing)
- Fixed bug in custom embedding process.
Thanks to TnA for all useful ideas.
If your memcard was holding a cross-linking version of FMCB, Format it before to install.
Multi-Version Install checks for dummies and Uninstall it (means it unlinks the cross-linking), so FMCB 1.5 and higher will not require to format your card each time you reinstall.
In FMCB Installer :
- CROSS : Normal Install
- SQUARE : Multi-Version Install
- TRIANGLE : PowerOff PS2
- CIRCLE : Load BOOT.ELF ( try to boot these file in this order : 'mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF', 'mc?:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF' , 'mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF'), maybe you will find a better name for this one.
- SELECT : Format MC
- START : Uninstall Multi-Version (this perform the Uncross-linking, to unpatch dummies, not like to just delete them).
Normal Install creates only your osdxxx.elf file.
Multi-Version Install uses cross-linking to make your card compatible with all ps2 versions (of the same region).
Uninstall Multi-Version properly unlinks the cross-linked dummies and revert back to normal install.
You can optionnally put in the same folder that the installer :
- 'DVDELF.BIN' file to replace your rom dvdelf taken by default for inject (It must be encrypted,
so just taken out from rom).
- 'EMBED.ELF' file to be injected in dvdelf and replace the Free McBoot loader.
- 'FREEMCB.CNF' file to be used as default config (is it is not already existing on MC).
- 'BOOT.ELF' file, it will be copied as mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF (if the file is not already existing on MC).
The BOOT folder is intentionnally empty, place on it your boot files.
Don't delete any FMCB file (essentially dummies or uninstall file), unless you know what your doing !
The installer creates a mcX:/FMCB-CNF/FREEMCB.CNF config file if it not already exist.
Config options:
- for boot from usb use for example : mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
- for boot from memcard use for example : mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF or mc1:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
- you can use too for example : mc?:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF it wills check for the file in the two slots.
- LK_???_E1 entries are first boot attempt, LK_???_E2 entries are secondary boot file, LK_???_E3 third boot file.
- All LK_???_?? can either be set to a path or to 'OSDSYS', in the second case if no key is pressed you will be
rejected to the browser. If you set a path it will be booted if no key pressed.
- AutoBoot_Disc option allow to check if a ps2 disk is present (Close the tray !!!) and boot it, set it to 0 to avoid this.
- Debug_Screen set to 1 allow to keep the Green debug screen if no boot file is found, if set to 0 reject to browser
By default, config file is set to boot like that (if you press R1) :
- mc?:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
- mc?:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
- mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT1.ELF
- mc?:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT1.ELF
BOOT2.ELF if you press R2.
BOOT3.ELF if you press L1.
BOOT4.ELF if you press L2.
BOOT.ELF if no key pressed.
Rejected to browser for others keys or no boot file found.
AutoBoot_Disc is set to 0.
You should not see Red screen if the CNF is readed, if you experience red screen check that you have config file in valid path
If you don't want of this config file, delete it ! (Just the FREEMCB.CNF, Not all the FMCB-CNF folder !!!)
If no config file is found the loader boots like 1.4 :
If you not hold any button,
- mass:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
- mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
- mc1:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF
- mc0:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF (where ? is your region.)
- mc1:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF
If you hold R1 button:
- mass0:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
- mc0:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
- mc1:/BOOT/BOOT1.ELF
- mc0:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT1.ELF (where ? is your region.)
- mc1:/B?DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT1.ELF
If you hold R2 it boots BOOT2.ELF, L1->BOOT3.ELF, L2->BOOT4.ELF
If you have a red screen at boot, this means no boot file found, check that you have a BOOT.ELF file in boot folders.
Known Bugs:
- The formatter will not work properly if the memory card have bad blocks.
