Hack ps2 slim memory card

When you do that, the PS1 disc will spin for a second and then stop spinning. Your screen will change to this:. Press X on your controller and the system should launch the main screen for uLaunch. I formatted a Staples branded flash drive as explained above and put all of the required files on it and the system refused to read it. The light on the drive would just blink and the screen was black.

I tried again with a PNY drive and it worked fine. After this screen comes up, press Circle on the controller to launch the file browser. ELF file and press Circle on it to launch it. Installation will begin and should take minutes to complete. Be patient. Press X to choose Ok. At this point you can power off your PS2 and remove the disc. Power it back on. The method above is one of the oldest methods to soft mod. The down side is that you have to be perfect with your timing when swapping discs after the PlayStation 2 logo disappears.

This video shows someone pulling the trick off. If you already have Agent Under Fire, you may want to go this route. At this point you can re-assemble your PS2. Keep in mind that the software that makes this work is installed on your memory card. You should label it as such. When you remove the card from the machine, it will act like a normal PS2 slim, as nothing on the console itself has been modified.

The console will still play retail games just fine, and you can use either the open space left on the Free McBoot memory card or another memory card inserted in to the second memory card slot to save games. Thank you Jason, this was the clearest guide I found on how to mod the PS2. Instead of booting to cogswap I booted to uLE and then I followed your guide successfully. Thank you very much! What should I do? Great work! Does this work on model SCPH? I think that it was modified right away after it was bought.

Hope you can help me, thanks! Your guide was a great help. I got it to work on my 2nd or 3rd try with that game. There was only one thing different about that game to the others. I did a bit of digging around the internet to try and find more videos of people successfully pulling this off.

First of all, thanks for putting this guide together! I just wanted to share something i found that another forum user somewhere said that I think helped sorry, forgot the source. I dont fully understand the technical side behind all of this so I hope it makes sense:. According to this source, the boot file of the ps2 game that you use should have an LBA of around 1,, I checked all of the games that I had been trying and failing with, and they all had LBAs in the s or s.

One of the games Killzone had an LBA of almost 3,,, but I couldnt get it to work either maybe too high? I dont fully understand the technical terms behind doing all of this, so it may just have been coincidence.

I hope it may help any one else trying to do this. Hii, i have sony playstation 2 slim silver SCPH so how can i moded like u show inside u did cover button for boot.

But, if you are asking for the best: Official Sony 8MB memory card. Official Sony Network Adaptor. The memory card to USB adaptor would be cool, but Ive never used one, so Id have to research it probably before giving you advice on it.

Keep me posted and sometime over the next month Ill start working on it. Looks like I'll be waiting too, I've also got a phat virgin that needs to be popped. When you guys get a chance list your model numbers for me, so I know what Im dealing with. Ill add you to the list if you like. DeViL and bitsbubba like this. SPCH R. Last edited: Sep 30, I used to have one of those PS2 Remotes, havnt seen it in years though. Its nice using blutooth, not to have to pick up the remote and point it at the device every time.

I am a bit peed off with Sony for not allowing the PS3 remote to work on the PS4 though, it has all the required buttons for media playback if Select and Start are used to replace the Share and Options buttons.
