Kaico Free McBoot 8MB PS2 Memory Card - FMCB 1.966 FreeMcBoot Memory Card for Playstation 2 Console - Free McBoot PS2 Plug & Play - Softmod Solution

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 Only comment to make on this is that the OPL version is very out of date, but fortunately this is easy to rectify by loading the up-to-date version onto USB and loading it using UlaunchElf, a program which is included on the card.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.

I'm happy. It seems to be doing the job alright 👍🏼

Superb bit of kit !

Good product for the price

Amazing thankyou

Visually, this is no different from a normal PlayStation memory card (other than the lack of branding), but once plugged in to the PS2 it will take you straight to the Mcboot menu with a bunch of pre-installed programs. Sure, you could maybe do it for cheaper with a more manual approach, but this is a much more hassle-free method being plug and play. My main goal was to run games from an internal HDD, so this card paired with the Kaico HDD adapter works a charm, and won't set you back too much in the grand scheme of things. Certainly giving me a reason to use the old PS2. If you're going to be using a regular memory card for game saves, I recommend keeping the FreeMcboot card in Slot 2, as games tend to want to write save data to Slot 1.

Worked perfectly

It’s works but not enough space on memory card in 8MB version. I managed to use OPL to load some games I downloaded onto a USB, however it isn’t able to open some ISO games (such as burnout takedown) but it was able to play the other ones. I bought the 8MB version and it is *NOT 8MB space*, most of it is used up by its own system stuff, which I didn’t realise!! The memory card had some old game saves on it (not sure why... is it second hand?) which I then deleted but this only left me with only 220kb of space which is only enough to save one game. So I guess I’m going to have to buy a second memory card with more space...

Excellent item, worked perfectly!

Funkar kanon! Installerade dock en ny OPL för att kunna ladda backuper från mini-SD via MX4SIO. Det är dock både gratis och väldigt enkelt om man bara har ett USB-minne!

Ready to be used, perfect.
