Can third party PS3-PS2 memory card adapter be compatible with ps3mca-tool fmcb?

Can you boot ulaunchelf from dvd on the dtl-h and use that install the independence exploit, then boot the scph using independence and run the fmcb installer?

 

Currently no. FMCB installer do fail on DTL consoles. Even if it has MG capabilities.

 

Yes, you can. But the exploit must be the modified one for the SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 series, as written on PSX-scene.

 

Hey sp193 just want you to know that I've bought my swapmagic v3.8 copy (which came with both DVD & CD versions) and was able to install free mcboot successfully and now I'm considering to sell my memory card adapter to anyone around my neighborhood since i have no use for it really.

 

I use the installer program to wipe my memory cards.

 

What programs exactly do "Work" for the third party memory card adapter I have? cuz i plan on selling it and i don't want the person getting pissed off at me once he/she finds out that it's useless (even though it's only useful for Phat original PS3s only i think)

 

If it works with PS1 cards then all PS3's are backward compatible with PS1 games, so it might work with that.
If you have cobra CFW installed on PS3 then you can use a software emulator, it might work with that.

You could try it with http://www.geocities.jp/altshibabou/win/MCRWwin.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ8Gx8_450w http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=2992.0

 

Just mentioning: MCRWin requires a different driver installed on the CECHZM1 device.

 

Why not just sell it as it really is, to somebody who expects it to only be used for copying PS2 saves to/from his/her PS3?

 

Yeah but, i just want to convince someone with some info first about it so that way the person can buy it off from me for a decent price

 

Wow! that's a pretty legit looking program app it's perfect but, does it support PS2 memory cards as well or sadly just PS1 cards?

 

MCRwin is for PS1 cards only.

PS2 MCs require Magic Gate authentication to unlock. That was why SCEA sent a C&D to PS3MCA author just 6 hours after the source code was made available on the internet.

 

Wow!... seriously?! i'm thinking i'll be a month or year they would've done it but 6 HOURS?! damn that sucks man! i'd wonder if someone still has a copy of the source code somewhere. What made the guy think bringing out the source to the public was a perfectly good idea? If he knew it contained code that could modify/hack PS2 consoles easily!

 

It's only a partial copy of their MECHACON emulator that allowed Memory Card MagicGate authentication. So even with it, nothing can be done with KELFs.
Also, the PlayStation 2 does NOT have any flashable ROM chips. So nothing in the console can be modified/hacked in software.

Your adaptor is just as useless as you know it. Don't bother with hoping that it can be used for anything else other than copying saves. Also, we have next to no programs on the PC for dealing with PS2 memory cards through the PS3MCA.

 

They seem to instantly send C&D for anything remotely linked to magicgate, even people wanting to hack their aibo. It makes you wonder exactly what they are trying to hide.

I'm sure that eventually they will stop caring.

 

@sp193 This is off-topic, um about your PS2ESDL loader how do you speed up the little FMV videos on the games? cuz i got Time Crisis II (that skips cutscenes) and Serious Sam - Next Encounter that makes it completely unplayable.

 

Cracking Magicgate would mean that we can put any program on the PlayStation 2, and DNAS (as in, the DRM part of it that most of us wouldn't be aware of) would be weakened too. They will probably lose their remaining grip on cracking down on piracy on this console... even though we know that there really wasn't much left for them to fight for (LOL).

I don't know if MagicGate on the PlayStation 2 is the same other devices, but that would explain even more why they wanted to protect it so much.

There's this theory that they removed update support from the late boot ROM versions because of FMCB, which would imply that they actually see FMCB as a problem. Although it could be simply because they didn't intend to release software updates for this console anymore, it's still undeniable that they didn't have to take the trouble to actually remove it.

Everything cool that came out recently, is related to the PS3 Fail0verflow fiasco. Since they've cracked Magicgate, DNAS eventually crumbed, and they got the POPS emulator extracted and unprotected.
The late versions of FMCB that can work on all console models (PSX and PS2) and regions are results of that too.

I sure hope that they would. Having a full MECHACON emulator within PCSX2 would be great for completeness.
Plus that was back in 2011, when the PlayStation 2 was still officially supported. We're in 2014, when the PlayStation 2 has already been discontinued.

There's no way for that to happen because the ports are only USB 1.1 ports. If you want something better, go for either SMB or even a suitable setup for a HDD unit (which means a fat PS2 + HDD unit).

 

I went for SMB because the fat is too big and noisy.
But I've always been tempted by this:

Fat PS2 is noisy ? You're doing it wrong ! lol

The only fat I can call noisy is my original SCPH-10000 which sounds a little loud when I play Ridge Racer V in it (or any other CD-ROM PS2 game) ... lol

 

In my collection eg of the most noisy SCPH-39008. (But that does not prevent it from being the favorite). She's a little noisier than SCPH-10000, and much noisier than the SCPH-50000.
