I have a Japanese PS2 slim model SCPH 70000. I`m looking into installing Free McBoot on my memory card (or soft modding), but since I have never done this before, and also am going to install on a Japanese PS2 no less, I wasn`t sure what the process should be. Here is what I have available to me:

USB stick
PS2 slim (as mentioned)
memory card

If possible, I want to work with what I have. Save some DVD-R`s to back up my games. Or at least the cheapest option. I have heard if I have Free McBoot I wouldn`t need Swap Magic etc. which I hope is true. lol. Anyway, thanks for any help;)

You can install free mcboot with other memory card free mcboot installed, you can launch the elf with ulauncher and install in your memory, the other way is with swap magic

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
