oh come on, I tried updating my PS2's FreeMcBoot install and broke my existing one

shork @noiob@awoo.space

now I have to either use FreeHDboot or FreeDVDboot to fix it but that sounds like work

shork @noiob@awoo.space

FreeHDboot sounds like it'd be easy to install but I can't find any 'official' documentation on it

FreeDVDboot is cool and everything but I only have blank CDs and those won't work, it specifically exploits the DVD player

shork @noiob@awoo.space

hm, it also isn't guaranteed to work on all PS2s since the dev has to make it work on every DVD player version separately

I guess I'll have to wait until I can give my memory card to a friend who can just reinstall FreeMCboot to it using his own PS2

@monorail yeah it's way older than that meme

I think it's named that way so that it's immediately obvious that it's not a commercial product and hopefully less people get ripped off paying for it
