The name of this file will be different with every game. ELF file. Close Apache3 and extract the contents of Apache1. Open Apache. Once your ISO is open in Apache1. ELF file that we renamed above in bytes.
The goal here will be to disable the PS2 slim and prepare it for modding by taping down the two switches that tell the unit that the disc drawer is open. You can do so with a sharp knife or small flat headed screwdriver. The top now just pulls off. You do have do so some wiggling to get it free. Luckily this is as far as we have to go with the disassembly of the PS2. Sony got wise after how easy it was to do the disc swap on the original PlayStation, so instead of one door switch we now have two to deal with.
One is in the front of the unit directly behind the power button. Instead of tape I heard one guy say that he used a substance similar to silly putty to hold his buttons down.
That would be a viable route as well, but scotch tape worked fine for me. Be careful of the ribbon cable that goes between this board and the motherboard. The rear button is a little tricker to get to. This switch is tan. Luckily there are no delicate connectors near this unit, but still be careful. Hook your PS2 slim up to your TV and connect power to it.
Insert your 8MB memory card. Know that during this process your memory card will be wiped, so you may want to make a backup of it on to another memory card before you begin this process. I have a pair of Logitech wireless controllers, which work great, but during this process they were a pain. I have to say, this frustrated me to no end. Essentially these are the steps. When this screen appears, the legal PS2 game disc will stop spinning. 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. Hello Jason,thanks for taking the time to make this guide and since its been a while since you made i doubt you are still active here right? However if you see this i have a question. Thanks in advance. I can swap the legal disc to the clone disc and use it to play my game flawlessly my legal copy is quite scratched and freezes the game to load up more data. The game also has the FRWL.
Not even booting up the FRWL demo works! The only thing I find peculiar is that I can use the modded disc to run the game flawlessly, since the original disc is severely scratched and causes the game to buffer every minutes.
Any help? I think I had sent a couple of posts last Friday. Now I have Free McBoot! BTW, thanks for this guide! Hi, just wondering how the ulaunch elf CD rom is supposed to be burned? I burned both the. Got into cogswap and used the legal ps2 CD game then put in the ulaunch cd but nothing happens. You may need to buy a special Transcoder, Patch the Game Manually guide can be found on these forums , or get a Mod-Chip.
A: Slim Tools. They are easier to install, dont void any warranty, are barley noticable, and leave your cool original cover on your ps2. BIGnewb , Oct 28, So this will work with a right? Kamahl , Oct 29, Last edited: Oct 29, AR has a problem. I'm still looking for ways to beat it but so far, no luck. Last edited: Oct 30, SonicTH , Oct 30, I have a question I am using the swap magic with the slim ps2 but i cant play cd ps2 backups and i cant play ps1 backups.
I was told that i could use the psone version of gameshark. But i cant game shark to boot into the slim period. Is there something wrong with the version of game shark i have? I have gameshark2 dont have any more info on it. Are you using the correct boot disc with the disc types? SonicTH , Nov 2, Also does anyone have issues with the gameshark cds. The ps2 version wont read it tells me to put in a ps or ps2 disk and the ps1 cd will startup but no video and all i hear is how to use the gameshark.
Very fn annoying. I thought the same thing. But I ordered Breaker Pro 2 weeks ago. It says it has a cheat program in it, I can't wait I hope it comes today.
