What is Free McBoot?
Free McBoot is a method of running homebrew applications directly off a Memory Card as a stand alone loader. No boot discs or modchips are required once installed. You will however need to have a method to install FMCB to the MC.
What you need:
A Boot method for the installer
A Memory Card with minimal 3.5MB free
A PS2
A USB stick
Prepare files for installation:
