This can be installed by editing a file on a game disc (such as 007: Agent Under Fire) putting an application known as ULaunchELF on the disc, burning the modified game to a DVD, then blocking the disc drive's sensors to allow hotswapping of the disc when needed.

Another exploit, known as Free McBoot that can work on any model of the console except the SCPH-9000x series with BIOS v2.30 and up. It also requires a special 'trigger disc' to be able to boot homebrew code. This method, however, only works on models V10 and lower, excluding the slim PlayStation 2. One of the earliest methods developed, known as the Independence Exploit, allows the PlayStation 2 to run unsigned code by exploiting a buffer overflow in the BIOS code responsible for loading original PlayStation games. Much like the Wii, the PlayStation 2 has various methods to achieve a softmod. You'll have to get another PS2, anything other than 9xxx. No, i don't have FMCB or OPL, my PS2 lens are fine.Īctually the 9000 models cannot be softmodded. I have a tri-system CTR-TV, anything Pal, Pal-M, and NTSC i can play without problem of any patching. Yes, i have Ulaunchelf booting from DEV1 My PS2 model is NTSC-J SCPH-90006 (Modchiped with Matrix Infinity v1.93)

I don't want to damage my PS2 lens trying silly things, so is there any way to 'covert' the BIN and CUE files into a ISO file to burn on a DVD-R? Yes yes, i know Sega re-released these Fantasy Zone games on other platforms, i play them on my 3DS with Sega 3D Classic Collection, but i want a proper CTR screen and control. The problem is i heard playing burned CD games on PS2 damages the lens, despite the fact it was build to play CDs. I'm with the Sega Ages 2500 Vol.33 Fantasy Zone Collection (bin and cue), they weight almost 670 MB, so i can fit it on a blank CD-R. And some of these games are over 700 MB, like Midway's port of Crazy Taxi to PS2, so we can't even burn the image on a blank CD-R. You can't just burn these games on a blank DVD, they weren't programed to boot from a DVD.

However, there's a few titles released on CDs, so they are BIN and CUE, like a PS1 game.

As mostly people here might know, PS2 games came in DVD's, so they disc image are ISO files.
