Apps, Exploits, Softmods:
FMCB = “Free MemoryCard Boot” –>
- This is the most commonly used exploit/Softmod used on a vast variety of models.
- It is being installed on the MemoryCard.
- Works on SCPH-10000 to SCPH-90xxx.
- Some 90k have BOOT-ROM 2.30 however and won’t automatically boot FMCB.
FHDB = “Free HardDrive/HardDisk Boot” –>
- internal storage/HDD variation of FMCB for FAT PS2s as well as 70k-Slim PS2s!
- It is installed onto the internal HDD.
- Works on 10k to 70k!
- 70k need FMCB to boot FHDB.
OpenTuna –> A MemoryCard Exploit for the newest PS2-Model (SCPH-90k, with a BOOT-ROM version of 2.30) or PS2-models as well as MemoryCards which are not working with MagicGate.
Devices:
MC = “MemoryCard”
HDD = “Harddisk Drive” and this ALWAYS means INTERNAL HDD!!!
USB = any storage-device connected via USB, regardless if it is a HDD, Flash/pendrive, SSD, SD, etc. You call a USB HDD “HDD” in our scene? You do it WRONG! It is “USB”!
MX4SIO = SD connected via MC-Port
i.Link/FireWire/s400 = Firewire etc., only available up to 39k!
LAN = SMB, UDPBD, etc., available on EVERY PS2!
Other things:
BOOT-ROM = often falsely referred to as “BIOS”
- This is the software/firmware the PS2 comes shipped with!
- It is NOT rewriteable in itself!
