Free McBoot - Looking to trick out your PS2 with homebrew and backups? SP193 is back with a brand new build of Free McBoot!
As a console, the PS2 is certainly starting to show its age. Yet, SP193 isn't exactly ready to let the long-running homebrew community die. This is a brand new update to a popular softmod for Sony's second console. It can be installed in a variety of ways including swap tricks, game exploits, or even PS3's memory card adapter, but through all methods it loads unsigned content from your classic 8MB memory card.A This particular version introduces some additional system kernels, browser behaviors, and increased support for the oft-forgotten PSX DVR unit.
Changelog:
Fixed support for the PSX (DVR unit). It will now boot properly, and sets the EE and CD/DVD drive into "PS2 mode".
Changed the way arguments are passed to the OSD program. FMCB will no longer parse and repeat the arguments, but passes the arguments directly to the OSD program "as-is".
Recompiled the FMCB configurator to have the updated FMCB release version number. Also, with this recompilation, the Protokernel patch within it has been updated (Note: This doesn't really matter because the patch from the FMCB binary would have already been applied).
The MBR program's EELOAD module had it's argument storage widened, so that it can take in 16 user arguments (To avoid buffer overflows, since the code within it was always limiting the number of accepted arguments to 16).
Added a clone of the kernel update for the SCPH-10000 (v1.01) and SCPH-15000.
Fixed OSD configuration setup for the SCPH-50009. Its OSD sets its "region" field to 2 instead of 1, despite this console being in the NTSC region.
Modified the "inner browser" setting to allow the user to specify how FMCB/FHDB will handle booting into the OSD (Either always boot into the browser or not, or just let the browser have its default behaviour).
For those who wish to edit this setting by hand, the valid values are as follows: 0 = AUTO, 1 = force ON (always boot into the browser), 2 = force OFF (always stay out of the browser). It was made this way for backward compatibility.
Removed the "return to loader" option, since I had no intent on maintaining it. The user can put uLaunchELF basically anywhere, and uLaunchELF isn't part of FMCB anyway.
FMCB will now no longer display the FMCB logo when software like the DVD player quits, to match the behaviour of the OSD program.
