![]() ![]() You can now guess how FMCB work, right? it's simple, it tricks the PS2 into thinking it's a valid update from Sony, therefore patching the entire browser. Fact is that only one actual update was issued, and it may still be floating around the interwebs.Įven though Sony never ended up using the PS2's ability to be updated from the MC, they never really removed such features from their console, not even slimline models. The idea was quickly scraped by Sony due to obvious reasons: it's so easy to downgrade! all you have to do is change the memory card, and the update was also tied to your system, which prevented the second hand market of memory cards, and back then Sony wasn't that draconian. It was simple, you insert an official Sony update disc into the system, it installs on the memory card and your PS2's system menu is updated with new features and bug fixes, we can also assume it patches exploits. ![]() ![]() To know how FMCB works we need to know one little known fact about the PS2: it was originally meant to be upgradeable by means of the Memory Card. It doesn't cause any hard, it doesn't require opening the PS2 and the hack can be easily reverted by simply removing the Memory Card itself, but, how did it work? FMCB is a software hack that gets installed on the Memory Card of your PS2 and lets you run homebrew ELFs from it. ![]()
