– Kaico Free McBoot PS2 Memory Card 8MB – FMCB 1.966 Pre-Installed – PS2 Free McBoot Memory Card Plug & Play (Multi-Region PAL/NTSC) – Homebrew Launcher for PlayStation 2

Very easy to use, it has brought new life to my ps2!

I bought this to transfer game save files from my PC to PS1 and PS2 memory cards and the process is easy once you get the hang of it! Also has so many other features I would've never expected. For a cheap price like this, was so worth it, will get so much usage.

Works great.

It works as advertised other than OPL not being on the selection list by default and you have to go into the uLaunchelf menus and boot it from there which is very tedious. I would use HDLoader but it never picks up my games "Known issue with the program not the mcboot" and OPL is superior in all ways anyway just annoying its not on the list by default.

I purchased the kaico free mcboot to play back up copies of my ps2 games with the disc loader. I only needed to select the disc loader once now I just put a disc in and it boots itself. It is a good way to protect original copies of games. I use it with a kaico hdmi adapter and the picture quality is about as good as a ps2 will get . Would highly recommend the hdmi adapter too

Works fine with a UK charity shop PS2. Can't fault it

The card works exactly as it says - plug it in, switch it on and it boots up freemcboot without any additional work. Additional software is also included, including such as OPL which allows you to load stored ISOs from a USB, or HDD if you have one. Only comment to make on this is that the OPL version is very out of date, but fortunately this is easy to rectify by loading the up-to-date version onto USB and loading it using UlaunchElf, a program which is included on the card. The most up to date version of OPL is vastly superior, as it allows use of DS3/DS4 controllers via USB, as well as virtual memory cards to save games to USB storage. Having done some research online before purchasing, I was concerned that using USB storage to play my games from would be slow since the PS2 was made long before the days of USB 2.0, never mind 3.0. But I have had no problems so far running Crash Wrath of Cortex, Half-Life, The Sims and Crash Tag Team Racing. Load times were quite slow when I played Conflict: Vietnam, although I can't remember if they were just slow anyway back in the day. I haven't had any luck with PS1 games but I may get it working yet. All in all, a good product well worth the price. Could be improved by including more up-to-date versions of included software, but since this is so easily rectified I still give this 5 stars.

Item worked as expected. Happy Chap

Perfetta! Finalmente posso giocare ai tanti capolavori per Ps2. La configurazione è semplice e richiede pochi minuti. Consiglio di usare OPL con chiavetta usb. Di seguito scriverò una guida per chi volesse fare tutto più velocemente possibile (Opl con chiavetta Usb). 1. Formatta la chiavetta in EXFat dal pc windows richiede un pgm (GUIFormat) Da mac puoi farlo semplicemente da utility disc/mostra tutti i dispositivi in alto a sinistra/ clic su nome della chiavetta/inizializza. Poi nel menu scrivi nome chiavetta, seleziona master boot record e formato ExFat. Attenzione: Se la versione di MCBoot è abbastanza recente, perfetto altrimenti formatta in Fat32 classico (molto più scomodo perché bisogna spezzare gli .ISO dei giochi più grandi di 4Gb usando un altro pgm). Puoi comunque riformattare la chiavetta quante volte vuoi e fare delle prove, al limite puoi scaricare dal web l’aggiornamento per il MCBoot, nel caso sia troppo datato e non permetta la formattazione in ExFat. 2. Ora, crea una cartella nella chiavetta appena formattata e chiamala esattamente ‘DVD’ (senza gli apici ovviamente). 3. Trascina gli .iso dei giochi scaricati direttamente nella cartella all’interno della chiavetta (consiglio CDromance per scaricare gli .iso di migliaia di giochi in tutta sicurezza. Perfetto, la chiavetta ora è pronta 4. Inserisci la memory card MCBoot nello slot 2 (non nello slot 1, lì ci va una memory card vera e propria, e non salvare assolutamente su MCBoot altrimenti si corromperanno i dati). 5. Per lanciare OPL basterà andare su “uLaunchELF” dal menu principale della schermata e premere x. Adesso si aprirà una schermata grigia, clicca cerchio (filebrowser). Selezionare cartella mc1:/ (perché la scheda è nello slot 2) poi premere cerchio. Ora ci saranno varie cartelle, ma quella che ci interessa è la cartella ‘BOOT/‘, quindi fare di nuovo cerchio per aprirla. Verso la fine della cartella ci sarà un file chiamato ‘OPNPS2LD.ELF’, fare cerchio su quello. Perfetto ora si aprirà OPL e dovrebbero comparire tutti i giochi contenuti nella chiavetta USB! L’unica pecca che ho riscontrato è che i filmati del gioco vanno a scatti, ma è dovuto al fatto che la porta usb della ps2 è molto datata e riceve sugli 1,5 mb al secondo. Il gioco comunque gira fluidissimo e non da nessun problema. Credo si possa risolvere con un fix cercando sul web. Spero che questa guida ti sia utile e ti faccia risparmiare tempo, peace ✌🏽 Update: con splinter cell chaos theory i filmati andavano a scatto, mentre ora giocando a rule of rose i filmati sono fluidi. Penso sia quindi questione di giochi, alcuni hanno filmati più pesanti di altri e quindi per il discorso di prima vanno a scatti.

Ready to be used, perfect.

Works perfectly on my 30001 series "Phat" PS2. I was concerned about preserving my humble collection of PS2 games as well as the hardware itself, as the laser units don't last forever. This allowed me to dump my BIOS for use with an emulator, as well as install an old 250GB 2.5" HDD using this SATA adapter designed specifically for the PS2: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JFPSZJP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Now all my games run from the HDD and the discs are safely stored away. PROS: Reasonable price. Has all the applications you'll need for homebrew, BIOS dumping, file management, and running your ISO files from a HDD instead of using the original game DVDs - preserving your games and hardware. CONS: (All minor, in my opinion) Comes with uLaunchELF which is older and no longer developed - wLaunchElf is the more current fork. Has an older version of OPL also. Generic 8MB MC, not a genuine Sony card, nor is it "Magic Gate" certified. The cons are not significant in my opinion. Although older, both uLanchELF and OPL worked fine and allowed me to achieve my goals as described above. You can pretty easily update all these applications if there are features/functions that you need for other, more involved tasks. I've read a lot of comments about the cheap, generic MCs simply not working, but so far this MC is working fine. I'm not writing to it, just reading, so that should increase longevity. Besides, I can just create my own FreeMcBoot MC on a higher-quality MC now if I felt it was necessary (which I don't). Definitely well worth the price and performed flawlessly. If you're looking for a quality Soft-Mod FreeMcBoot, this is it. Cheers!

As expected, did the job.

Works exactly as advertised.
