How to make your own Memory Card Exploit using the Independence Installer

[bold]a_l_e_x[/bold] schooled me...all the exploits are lumped under one thing, the MC/Independence Exploit. So no code can be executed from the MC like it was with the fat PS2. Only modchips, swapdiscs & XCM HD Connect will be of any help. With an external HDD & a modchip, it can do most of the basic things a fat PS2 can.
I would trade my slim PS2 for a fat one if I could....I liked the idea of running Linux & other homebrew.

 

I will keep this short and sweet.

My DVD drive on my PS2 is busted (verified dead/dying motor). I have a DMS 3 modchip. I have a 160GB HD filled with games that I want to play.

How can I play my games with my current setup? Do I need to replace any components or possibly even my whole system? A PM would be truly appreciated.

 

Erd: can you get to one of those dev modes with your chip? i think it's either dev2 or dev1 for dms chips. OR it could be that for DMS4 chips. one of those modes will allow you to boot without using the cd/dvd drive. i'm sorry i couldnt be of more help.

 

superxl: no, i can not get to the dev mode (pressing triangle). that is why i am now thinking that perhaps the mod chip is fried. i checked all of its connections though, and they are all solidly soldered onto the ps2. i had it professionally installed, and it lasted for a little over a year and a half before it had problems. the laser is now reading (or at least lighting up red)... and the disc is spinning better. i might try cleaning the lense again with contact solution. the alcohol didn't seem to work perfectly.

 

BK89 - quick correction: Swap Magic or modchip are not the ONLY ways to install an MC exploit. Action Replay Max (which also does cheats) can install it. It's not as easy to do, but still possible if you follow the right steps. ARMAX is cheaper than Swap Magic and is better value for money i think. This is the guide:

i prefer to use codebreaker for the exploit. i think it's setup just like ARmax but i just found CB VERY easy to use.

 

I have almost the exact same problem as Erdrick does. My PS2 DVD drive won't spin/read my discs anymore. It's a v9 with a DMS3 chip in it and i would really like to know if there is anyway to install and RUN any loader onto the MC with a USB Pendrive (was thinking of getting Codebreaker or AR Max EVO) without using the DVD drive at all?

 

Unless Matrix Infinity or Crystal Chip support pendrives (specific), then I think ONLY the Codebreaker & GameShark/AR have the support. They simply treat the USB plug/pen just like a regular computer does. Specific drivers were written to support the pendrive, so not all of them will work, but most do.

 

hey people..i need the directions to make my own ps2 slide card!! so if n e of u can get that to me that would b AWSOME!!!! my email is removed and removed.. plz..i really need this asap!!!!

 

Hi, i format ps2 memory card using one adaptor that do the inithial formation and afther rebooting ps2 do the right formating. it also permit to use ather tipe of memory as origina ps2 memory and at last, by using a special link cable you can also do a pc beckup of your saves.

does anyone have the keylauncher V0.2 required to do this or a link to download the keylauncher V0.2 plus image thx

 

The guide is a little outdated on some of the elf files such as loaders and so forth.Your best bet is to go to this site called http://www.exploitstation.com or http://www.sksapps.com a site that has elf files available.The memcard launcher you would like to use can be replaced with whatever you prefer.Keylauncher is only one of them to choose from,but you can try others out to see which one you like the best.I will go check to see if I still have the keylauncher v0.2,if I do I will upload it for you.

 

ok thx

 

Alright I uploaded all the files you will need,plus some elf files to get you started.If you wanted to you can compile all the files in the MemExploit_StarterKit I have uploaded and test it.Here is the link to the file http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer....&key=681c6bcc53fe4f232936ebc72273703f19716d57 .If by any chance the link gets broken let me know and I will upload it again for anyone else that is trying to compile a memory card exploit.

 

thx for that man

 

is this for pal or ntsc if it is ntsc how can i change it to pal

 

You have to edit the Title.db file with the Slus...Sles of your PS1 game you would like to use.You have to get ahold of a titledb editor to modify the Title.db file.You can find the program here http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.php?op=getit&lid=60 which will allow you to edit the Title.db file to add in your trigger disc(PS1 original game used to launch the exploit from memory card).

 

so how do i get this to run. when i put in the trigger disc then swap it all that happens is the screen will flicker and stay blank

 

i have tryed it numerous times but it still doesnt work. I place the trigger disc in the trya and let it start spinning. I then take it out and quickly place in the exploit disc. The screen will flicker for a second and then stay blank.
