Okay guys so what you will need today -➣ Phillips screw driver -➣ Flat head screw driver -➣ Magnet (not needed but good to hold screws) -➣ Hobby Knife (not needed but Recommended) -➣ Memory card -➣ USB (Formatted to FAT) -➣ At least 2 burnable DVD discs -➣ A PS2 game to do the swap with -➣ Blue Tack or tape of a sort (blue tack recommended) Okay, Firstly you will need to disassemble your ps2. There are 6 screws on the slim console underneath it, the back 2 rubber feet come off, and then just pop off the remaining 4 covers. One of them may be under the warranty seal (cut that crap out.
There ain't no more warranty) Once you remove these screws, you must separate the ps2 from the back first at the fatter section (where the power port is), then move to the front where the memory card slot is, and finally move down to the thin end. You will need to tilt the cover up from the fat end in order to separate/gain leverage on the thin end Once you have the lid off, congratulations!!! Now we can jam the sensors Please see image below of sensor locations. One is on the power button board and the other is next to the back of the disc drive caddy to the left of it on the main board. You can use either Tape or Bluetack to keep the sensors down, it is recommended you use Bluetack as i found it stuck better and did not come off at all.
Now you have set your PS2 up for the swap trick. On to the computer Download my package full of all the files you will need. Otherwise you can download these files from sksapps.com -➣ -➣ Apache1.1 -➣ Apache3Preview -➣ COGSWAP -➣ uLaunchELFv4.12CD OR uLaunchELFv4.12DVD -➣ NoobiePackage Download and extract these to a folder where you would like to save them Now Grab a disc you do not care if you damage as we will be using this for the swap Take note of the disc. It is recommended that you use a DVD as the swap disc.
This can be seen on the front. It will say ' DVD' or 'Compact Disc' Insert the game you have chosen into your pc's DVD drive Now open Apache3Preview (DO NOT LET IT UPDATE - it will not function if it does) You will need to click on the drop down menu and select your DVD drive. Once the DVD is loaded up, you will need to click the option to 'Create ISO' its the one that looks like a disc with an arrow Wait until ISO is successfully created. Once this is done you will need to open Apache1.1 Press the Browse button in Apache1.1 and select your newly created ISO file You should now be able to see the files inside the ISO Now open windows explorer and go to the DVD drive. Open the directory to view files on disc. It should look the same as Apache1.1 Locate the file that says system.cnf Copy and paste this file anywhere as we only need it for just a moment. Kumpulan soal test.
If you have a text editor you can open this in your text editor to view contents, otherwise change file type to.txt and open with windows notepad on the first line you should see something like this BOOT2 = cdrom0: SLES536.36;1 Now, my one says 'SLES536.36', but your one will most likely be different. Take note of the file name. You can now close the explorer window with the Disc open and go back to Apache1.1 Now you should see a file with the same name as the one from the text document. (This is the file we are going to modify) You must now extract your version of Cogswap and rename it to the name of the file on your disc. (for example, i would name my cogswap as 'SLES536.36') Now you must Right Click on the cogswap file we just renamed and press 'PROPERTIES' to view file information. You should now be able to view the size of the file in Bytes (Perfect!!) Take note of the size, keep the window open Go back to Apache1.1 and Select the file we are modifying Click on menu option 'ISO Tools' and then click 'change TOC for selected file' You must modify the size value to the one of cogswap shown in properties.
It is show as a byte value. DO NOT MODIFY LBA make big an bold and red Click update! Now select the file we are replacing again and go to the same menu like so - ISO Tools - Updaate selected file Now browse for the cogswap file we renamed to the one on the disc, select it and open it. This should now be updated in the ISO (Yayyy!!!) Close Apache1.1 as it auto saves to the ISO Now chose a method of your own to burn this ISO to a DVD, i just used the burn option in Apache3Preview. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT SLOWEST BURN SPEED (YOU CAN NOT USE REWRITABLE MEDIA - DVD RW) Press Burn and wait.
You now have your swap disc We must now create the uLaunchELFv4.12 disc Decide weather you are using a CD or a DVD to launch uLaunchELFv4.12 Open the RAR file and either Burn the DVD.ISO to a DVD, or burn the CD.bin file to a CD with a burning tool of choice Now we have uLaunchELFv4.12 Disc!!!! Last Step for the computer Insert a USB of choice (no need for anything larger than 500mb) You must format this USB to FAT.
This can be achieved by right clicking on the USB in explorer and selecting format - FAT - Quick - start (BE WARNED THIS WILL WIPE ALL FILES OFF USB) Now open NoobiePackage and copy 'INSTALL' folder and 'FREEMCBOOT.ELF' to your usb That is all for the computer now guys. On to the tricky part Booting Cogswap Start off by inserting the genuine PS2 Disc into drive Please Read this a few times before attempting. Watch Boot Screed When Playstation2 logo pops up you must wait until screen goes black As soon as screen is black you must remove genuine disc, and insert cogswap disc (you have a 4 second window to perform this swap) Once you get the cogswap disc in there count to 3 Quickly swap back to genuine disc so when PS2 goes to check copyright it can see that there is genuine disc and not burned disc If all goes well you should have cogswap open on the screen (This process may take a few attempts - Be patient and keep trying) Congratulations, that was the hardest part!!! Now that you have cogswap open, if you selected burning Ulaunch to a DVD you can remove the Genuine game disc and insert the ulaunch disc If you did not, please open this spoiler. Normal installs on the memory card so it can only be used on the one system which the installer was run on Multi means you can take the memory card out and boot it on all PS2 models from the same region I selected Multi so i can use the card on other systems Wait until it is finished. This may take a few minutes One it is complete, navigate to 'Launch FMCB' and Voula, you should be booted into FMCB Attempt to reboot your console to double check it worked, make sure to remove all discs, you should be greeted with FMCB menu Congratulations you have now successfully installed FMCB without having to pay a cent for any games or swap discs like 007. You can now remove any bluetack, sensor jamers you used and reverse disassembly to reassemble.
Let me know if you have any questions! Peace out guys! Edited September 10, 2017 by zapptheman. Nice tutorial.

Anyway I can't understand one thing. Why we can't use 'FREEMCBOOT.ELF' in place of cogswap at start? Have you tested this by any chance? I believe that we cannot put FREEMCBOOT.ELF in there because it needs other files which are stored in the installation folder.

As a result, if we tried putting them on the disc it may change the size of the disc and the location in which the files are stored, therefore causing an issue when swapping. This way keeps everything where it should be as we are only modifying an existing file. For example, if the laser is expecting to find the launch elf in a certain spot, and we add more files to the disc, we could potentially change the location of the file it is seeking, which will then not allow for the ps2 to boot into it. Then again i could be completely wrong, but if you would like to give it a go, please do as i am interested to see the outcome.

As it says on the splash screen when you boot the.elf file, PSXlauncher only works on v9 and newer PS2 consoles. I have both a v11 phat and v13 slim, and it works well on both. What's the serial number on your PS2, Jake? (It's on the back of a phat, and on the bottom of a slim.) If it's SCPH-50001 or higher, PSXlauncher should work. If it's lower than that, it probably won't. Another option that works on ANY PS2 is COGSWAP.elf, used with a 'slide card' (easily made from a spent gift-card or similar) on a phat, or on a slim with blocked sensors.
The only catch is that you need a retail PSone game to swap with your backup. You should be able to find Cogswap on the forums here. If it's not there, I'll upload mine shortly. EDIT: You can find COGSWAP.elf in this post.

Sorry (both you guys) for giving you a bum steer, it's been ages since I've used Cogswap. PSXlauncher should work on a v14. It works perfectly on my v13, here's what I do: 1.
Boot into uLaunch.elf with a retail PS1 game in the drive, then launch PSXlauncher from uLaunch. When the splash screen comes up (black with white text), open the lid (make sure your sensors are blocked, so the ps2 still thinks the lid is closed) and swap for your backup. Press X and play. Is this the way you did it, Jake? Alright so lets say I download a ps1 game and use cogswap to play it.
Can I use my ps2 memory cards to save the game data? EDIT: Also when I run cogswap to play a copied ps1 game after I put the retail ps1 game into the drive and it recognizes it I press X and the drive just runs at an extremely high speed and doesn't stop.
I think my PS2 is straight up V2 lol. EDIT2: Also when I downloaded Digimon World 2 it only had a bin file, not a bin +cue file. EDIT3: HOLY. Since my ps2 never read DVD-R before I tried doing the swap with a retail ps2 game and a DVDR ripped game and it worked! Last edited by piicnyk; 9th-April-2011 at 17:10.

Is this the way you did it, Jake?well i didnt boot into psxlauncher with the disc already in, when the black and white text came up i put disc one of ff7 in and let it spin. It never stopped spinning after 10 minutes of waiting, i quickly took it out and put it in very quickly and pressed x and for it to say 'not a psx disc!' Ive tried with ff9 backup, and harvest moon btn.
Oh and i burned it using ultraiso on cdr-80's. I'll give it a shot tonight and edit to let you know how it went. EDIT: ok well i did what you said, heres what happened: i went to ulaunch then went to put the retail psx game then went into psxlauncher then it spun, then stopped so i swapped it with the backup then it went black for a few seconds then to playstation logo then it stopped spinning and the ps2 froze. Ive got no idea what happened. Could it possibly be the cd's im using?
Theyre tdk cd-r80's and im only using iso from here. Last edited by Jakethegreat12; 9th-April-2011 at 18:26.
