Credit where credit is due: OLLis8h aka N73User who have made these instructions and created the necessary archives.

I supply here a rewritten and English version of these instructions which were in German, and can be read in their original state at this link: http://www.psxtools.de/thread.php?threadid=17659

Those who have the fat PS2 may also use the PS1 Exploit by pepsi_max2k, found at: http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/armax2.php

Hi guys, Tech James here,This video will explain how to install Free McBoot into another PS2 Memory Card! This DOES NOT require a Mod Chip! But it does requi. There are a lot of cheap memory cards with FreeMcBoot pre-installed on eBay. Can generic memory cards be used with it, or will they fail/only last a little while? The memory card I'm looking at is 8MB if that helps. It DOES NOT say Magic Gate on it though if the picture is any indicator. It just says 8MB MEMORY CARD. Download the Free McBoot Noobie Package that has 'FREEMCBOOT.ELF' and 'INSTALL' files. Free MC Boot is a program that allows a user to boot homebrews without modchip or swap once installed on the Memory Card.

This guide is intended for those who have wound up with a Action Replay Max Evo disc with no media player. If you have a disc with Max Media Player, you’ll be better off following this guide by
JNABK: http://bootleg.sksapps.com/tutorials/fmcb/armax.php

For this guide one needs the following materials:
-Action Replay Max Evo without media player
-USB-drive, formatted in FAT32
-OLLi_s8h – FMCB v1.8 _ ARMax _ USB-Pack.rar (link)
-PS2 Memory card (I used the official 8Mb card)

This guide will assist in the installation of Free McBoot v1.8. If another version is desired one should just swap the one in the archive with the other one (this is more precisely covered in the appropriate part of the guide).

It goes without saying that you are 100% responsible for any damage you do to your equipment while following unofficial tutorials on the Internet. Although damaging anything when following this tutorial seems extremely unlikely.

You probably want to get your hands dirty by now, so here are the instructions step-by-step:
1. Extract the contents of OLLi_s8h – FMCB v1.8 _ ARMax _ USB Pack.rar into the root folder of the USB drive. If you don’t already have a file archiver, I suggest 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).

The root of the USB-drive should contain:
• INSTALL
• MaxSettings
• 00000_180_ActionRepl.max
• codelist.bin
• FREE_MCBOOT.ELF

Optional step: Replace INSTALL and FREE_MCBOOT.ELF with a different version.

2. Boot up the Action Replay Max Evo disc in the PS2, without the USB-drive.

3. If prompted with «Internet Connection Detected. Do you wish to check online for updates?», press no.

4. Open Settings (Lower right corner), allow the codelist to load.

5. Turn off «Automatic Update Prompt» then «Save and Exit».

6. Now turn off the PS2 and connect your prepared USB-drive.

7. Boot up the Action Replay Max Evo disc again, this time while the USB-drive is connected to USB-port 1.

8. Open Max Memory.

9. Select My devices, then choose the USB-drive as the primary device.

10. Select «AR MAX Codelist ver. -804409333» and copy to MC1.

11. Press triangle to return to the primary device selection screen.

12. Choose the memory card.

13. You should have two entries called «ActionReplayMAX Settings», delete the one which is 66Kb in size (Size of selected files is shown right above the file list).

14. Press triangle to return to the primary device selection screen.

15. Choose the USB-drive.

16. Select «ActionReplayMAX Settings» and uncrush to MC1.

17. Reboot the PS2, still keeping the the disc inside and the USB connected.

18. Choose Expert Mode from the main menu. Allow the codelist to load.

19. On the following screen, choose ARMAX Evo.

20. Make sure «Running», «Payload [0000]», and «Payload [0001]» are all checked.

21. Press start on the controller and choose «Start game (3 codes)» from the game launch window.

22. As the Action Replay Max Evo disc is already in, just press X on the next prompt. Action Replay Max will automatically reload the main menu.

23. Now start Max Memory. The codes you just activated will run Free McBoot from the USBdrive upon starting Max Memory. (Don’t worry, you will still be able to use Max Memory after this when running the Action Replay Max Evo disc without the codes activated).

24. You are done. I strongly suggest formatting the memory card, but please keep in mind that this deletes everything on the memory card. Then install Free McBoot from the menu (I chose «multi version install»).

Requirements:

PS2 with a HDD connected to the Network Adapter
Retail HDL/HDA disc
PS2 Memory Card
USB device – formatted to FAT32

On the PC:

1 – Download the uLaunchELF ISO and extract the ISO file to your desktop. Download Winhiip if you dont have it already and use Winhiip (or whatever other way you know to do) to install the ISO to the HDD connected to your PC. Heres a Winhiip Guide if your not sure how to use Winhiip.

2 – Download the Noobie Package and extract the INSTALL folder and the FREE_MCBOOT.ELF to your USB device’s ROOT (means not inside any folder). You can look at the Noobie Guide by clicking the User Guide tab above, if you need more info.

On the PS2:

Insert the HDD, the USB device, the HDL or HDA disc and a PS2 memory Card into the console and turn it on.
Run the uLaunchELF program from the Games List ( you may need to set Mode3 if you get a blackscreen)
From the uLaunchELF screen (ignore the LAUNCHELF.CNF error message) press the O button to go into the FileBrowser menu
Select the mass: option, as thats your USB device
From the next screen, select the FREE_MCBOOT.ELF and press O button to execute it.
