First if anyone has this version working I would love to just send you a memory card, and compensate you for your time to just copy this for me. This shit is infuriating me.
WHAT I AM USING:
Fat PS2 SPCH 39001
Magic Slide (Swap Magic 3.6)
PS2 memory card (formatted)
200 GB HDD.
FREE MCBOOT NOOBILE VERSION 1.09 (JAN 2016)
There are no tutorials that I can find that work. They all state that this can be done with swap magic 3.6, but none say which CD to use. There is a CD and DVD included. Furthermore, everyone mentions files I do not have, because I have the newest version, everyone just assumes you are upgrading.
My PS2 does have an old version of HD loader installed. Probably close to, or more than 10 years old. I was hoping this would upgrade it, and allow me to keep my stuff on the HDD. Not sure if this is even an earlier version of FREE MCBOOT.
Basically I extract this NOOBILE version to the root of my USB. Make a folder called "SWAPMAGIC" and rename "some file" to "SWAPMAGIC.ELF" (I feel like i've tried them all). And magically this is suppose to work.
Keeps haging on the swapmagic screen after trying about 10 different install types. Here is what my root USB directory looks like.
Again, not sure exactly what files I need to change. Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
ROOT:
SWAPMAGIC (folder)
in swap magic folder.
==> Folders
INSTALL
lang
licenses
SWAPMAGIC.ELF (this is a file, not a folder)
===> IN THE INSTALL FOLDER
FOLDERS:
APPS
APPS-HDD
BOOT
SYS-CONF
SYSTEM
==> IN THE BOOT FOLDER (files)
BOOT.ELF
BOOT.ICN
ESRGUI.ELF
ICON.SYS
OPL.ELF
SMS.ELF
