    I bought SM 3.8 Coder Version but it doesn't include this slide tool thing.
    How can I make it? I saw some video: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/632349/how_to_make_your_own_ps2_slide_card/
    But there's nothing about sizes and all other stuff. Someone knows more about it?

    Also, another little question - do I still need Memory Card with Free McBoot to launch programs from USB Flash, if I use SM?

    For the slide tool, look at this picture:

    Find an old credit card, gift card, or something similar that you don't need anymore and cut it into that shape. I've made a couple, they art kinda tricky to use at first but once you get the hang of it then it's very easy.

    Though...I think you don't need to use a slide tool at all if you have Free McBoot installed on a memory card and use ESR. (I could be wrong, it's been a while)

    Thanks! That's exactly what I needed. Pity sizes are not in centimetres though.
    Already made this one using pasteboard, seems some shapes are not correct, needs practice.
    I don't have memory card with FMB.

    If your swap magic disc allows booting ELF files from USB that's all you need to install FreeMCBoot and ESR. If your system is a Slim model that can't do freemcboot you can still use ESR by using Swap Magic to launch it from USB I think.
