Ps2rd I'm having a issue with predator concrete jungle that is just a black screen I got the external hard drive to work finally instead of mini partition tool I use GUI format and pop in the PS2 and it loaded up but with ps2rd Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks the cheats aren't activating in the game
I'm not familiar with ps2rd yet and if it has compatibility issues and what not. Does the game have a master cheat code that you got to enable first, and then the subsequent cheats? See the tutorials at ps2-home.com for more info
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I fixed it for ps2rd got them working except a few games keep giving me a black screen and a couple games to codes are an active so I'm going to pop it back in and go to Omni convert and then try and find the codes again and try and put them back in unencrypted form
I having trouble loading up codebreaker after I select the game and plug in the USB. I went to settings on opl and changed the settings but everytime I get to the plug the USB back in after I selected the codes but I get the black screen. Please help
UPDATE! SMB works for me using the Codebreaker.elf and an older OPL: OPL_1564_DB-TA_all-7fd6d50-2019-02-25 renamed to CB_Loader.elf, after choosing cheats , selected start game, it restarts into OPL then choose the game want to play and BAM! Awesome, time to play some Ys, Good Job! Keep the good contents rolling
Few questions: 1) What happens if you use a different version of OPL, what happens then? 2) Are you running CB_Loader.elf and Codebreaker from USB or from memory card? Update: I got it working from memory card with newest OPL and codebreaker, v1 zip file uploaded.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia 1) If I use another version of OPL It hangs at the loading screen of OPL after 30 sec no rom selection. 2)I ran the working OPL and renamed it to CB_Loader.elf from 8GB USB stick Fat32 formatted. I'll try to run from Memory card but its already full with other apps
only trick that works for me on the slim is during game boot, simply wake up the usb stick by removing it and adding it to the other port while it is trying to load ( you will notice when the led stops blinking on the 1st usb then its time to drop it in the 2nd usb) this woked with shox and ridge racer after bin was converted to iso , so i think its either an electrical contact issue or a usb voltage issue so it will varies with your slim unit .i might try a diff power supply or spray more electrical contact fluid

Hello, sorry to disturb, but I just got my Free MCboot card and I downloaded some games on my 32 GB flash drive, but every time I try to load a game from the drive, the screen just stays black or white depending on the game. Is there any way to fix this ?
Nice yes thank you I got I got ps2rd working is your external hard drive almost full how long does your games take to load on usb games opl I have 156 games could it be the art that's causing the speed thank you very much your videos are awsome
I haven't tried a USB HDD but on my 100 wireless network I have 500 PS2 ISO files on a 6TB USB 3.0 external HDD connected to my server and it takes 30 secs to show the list of games I have on SMB. Yours should be faster direct USB HDD. Maybe you may need to defrag your HDD?
@@MrAlan1828 I have two external hard drives one Seagate 1tband one maxone 500gb my 64gb flash drive works just fine I ordered another external hard drive from a list of known devices to work I hope it does I hope its here tomorrow

I have my OPL in disguise also but it is copied into the __boot folder on my HDD. The CodeBreaker file is on my Memory Card. Works perfectly fine. No USB needed. Only thing you'd probably need a USB is to copy your original OPL file and rename it to CB_launch.elf to disguise it since you can't rename it on the PS2.
Instead of getting black screen whenever I start the game in code breaker, my just says “game did not start” when I plug the usb back. I’m using ps2 slim
everything works for me except one thing, i activate the codes in codebraker then i go in the game in this case nfs carbon and the codes seems to be not activated even if i use the opl in the same folder as codebraker
I have a fat ps2 with no modchip also the disc driver is not plugged I mean no optical dvd drive is connected to the ps2.When I launch the elf it just freezes at a black screen I even removed every usb but still the same issue I eventried many versions still black screen.Note that when I created an iso for it it launches normally but when I select start device it stuck at black screen.any help would be great and sorry for the long comment
How about cheat device, same issue? Can you get an optical DVD drive, even if the laser is bad? Didn't know codebreaker would freak out about missing drive.
I’m using OPL and get a black screen I wasn’t sure if this tutorial was to fix the same issue but what should I do. I bought a pre made freemcboot card and none of my isos load
Give cheat device a try and see if that changes anything. I know when you try to do these special cheat programs, all bets are off for game compatibility
Maybe the av cable is the problem im actually getting a new one the old one was dying it had no sounds and i had to twirl the cable so that the video can play

I have tried cheat device and the save files read as corrupted when I try to go back and load them again. When I try to load this elf, it freezes at "Setting Up Cheats" splash screen. Any Ideas?
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia So I have gone a different route. I'm using OPLManager (kind of a pain that you cannot turn on/off cheats during game play, but it works just fine).
I’m having a issue loading codebreaker though my premade opl card I got from Amazon. I’m using it on a slim and it won’t open. I even tried the method you did and still nothing. It works on my fat model but not my slim 7700 series. I’m not sure why because when I first bought it , it worked on my slim….. any ideas?
Please respond Bobby reference me to you and have a question for you will this work on a internal hard drive as well with the codebreaker instead of the ople manger by putting the codes in that way and how do you disable and enable the codes you have to use the opl manger every time to do so or can you within the opl before you boot the game up thanks
Hi, sorry to bother you, my games are not appearing and i have OPL 1767 DB-TA. Im using a USB External Hardrive. I extracted the games using USBxtreme and Defraggler to Defragment them... In which part of the USB do they need to be stored?
I open codebreaker and then unplug my USB and I can select cheats and then start game and then I plug my USB back in but the game goes to opl loader and then I start my USB but it can't find my games. But if I go into opl loader from the home screen then the games load up fine with no cheats enabled. So idk why they won't load up the other way
I have a problem. I booted up codebreaker and once I started playing a game, it crashed my ps2 and I could only get into funtuna through UlaunchELF and not the quickboot. And now every time I try the usb trick, no matter how many times I try to reinstall codebreaker it won't work. Could someone help?
Freezing I saw was due to usb inserted at the wrong time. If you get the game to load properly and it still freezes with cheats, consider looking into cheat device or ps2rd.
I HAVE A PHAT PS2 THOUGH!! Tried the USB method even though I've launched it in the past with the USB still plugged in. IDK why all of a sudden it's not working anymore. :/
Have you tried patching the codebreaker elf file? yes a patcher exist that allows the codebreaker elf to work from a memory card i have the patched elf backed up on a dvdr if you need it
every time I load codebreaker I cant select codes for the game I want the cursor just jitters when I try to scroll up or down and its stuck on the last game I played
I run mine from the memory card the screen does go black for a moment probably about 5 minutes tops and then code breaker loads and everything is fine I'm using a fat PS2 with an internal hard drive so there's no removing anyting involved.
I have a question when you use code breaker and activate the codes do the cheat code stay in the game forever or do you have to keep putting the disk in every time you want to activate the code

There is no GoW 2 on the cheats list so i added my self but then it said there's no space at memory card. Is it a way that i can save it to usb? I have got 4 mb's of emty space btw.
Hey buddy. I have a question and I hope you could help me. I'm new to PS2 modding. And I'm having some issues: I got a PS2 Fat with a Matrix chip. I got a memory card with FreeMcBoot V1 (I can't update it bc it's a clone memcard, not the original one). Also, I got a SATA modem for it, so I can load the games from the modem. The thing is, I can't make codebreaker work. Everytime I try to boot it up from uLaunchElf v4.43a, my screen just freezes. It doesn't matter if I load it from the USB, the memcard or the Hdd. It goes to black screen and then the TV stops recognizing signal. The PS2 seems on (Out of the lights being still on) but I can't even get inside the Codebreaker. How could I make it work? 🥺 Thanks in advance. 💜

Welcome to the club. I was disappointed when trying to learn this topic all the videos at the time was a different language, but hopefully this one helped once I figured it out myself.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia maybe for next video, you can find out; will it work to put Ulaunch.elf in internal hardisk on PS2 FAT an run it by opl So we dont need fmcb to run PS2 software
I have a PS2 30006R console with modchip (I'm unsure which modchip was installed as it was done by a shop many years ago), I bought the latest free mcboot 1.966 online, stick it in the memory card slot and powered on the PS2. The free mcboot logo came up and then it's just black screen. I can access opl by holding the L1 button and play games from my hdd normally but i really want the free mcboot to load properly instead of booting up with the black screen all the time. I don't want to disassemble my PS2 and check out the modchip as I wouldn't know how to put it all back.
The problem is it should be FMCB 1.953 (which I install for my clients) because the latest 1.966 has issues with modchips (hence your black issue). If you have a fat ps2 internal hard drive, you could install FHDB and then from there reinstall fmcb to a memory card to a compatible earlier version.
Yo everyone I don't know where to ask my question but do you think it would be possible to replace one of the USB ports 1.0 of the ps2 with 2.0 ports or higher by welding them ?? for better performance especially for the problem of fmv of the games
Doesn't matter since the ps2 back then was programmed at 1.1 speeds, usb 2.0 didn't exist I don't think back then at least not common place like usb 3 and usb c is nowadays

But my TV isn't able to support such, I was thinking of getting Nvidia shield, but now reconsidering getting something like your setup. Looks like a big project though. The mat and everything, is there anyone out there reselling to make profit the complete setup as you described ?

My experience is only with OPL, so if you got it working with ESR then great.
Hi,could someone help .
I have a ps2 slim 90004 with the latest fortuna,i followed every step of the vid but the cheats dosen't seem to work.i tried codebreaker,cheat device and airmax 200.000.
They all start the game but the cheats don't activate
Tried with OPL 9.0 and disk,none of them work.
Not sure what is going on here, cheat device worked fine with fortuna project and opl. I'll make a follow up video.
My cb works fine while my usb is plug in.but i have some issue about my games i downloaded and its not even a 4gb and when i start the game its just black screen do u have a tutorial how to fix it??tnx in advance
The usb trick worked for me with black screen. Otherwise, try cheat device.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia is it ok to defrag the usb always or just keep formatting it?
Whatever you want to do, usb are cheap either way
There is no GoW 2 on the cheats list so i added my self but then it said there's no space at memory card. Is it a way that i can save it to usb? I have got 4 mb's of emty space btw.
How about cheat device? Otherwise there are guides on ps2-home to add cheats manually and make it work with opl
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I was using USA version of GoW 2. After i downloaded Europe version, it worked.
I have the fat PS3 with HDD this did. It work for me. I'm sure I did everything you said
Fat ps3 with ps2 codebreaker? But if you mean black screen on ps2, remove the usb or try cheat device.
mine doesnt work it just show code breaker but dimmer and slightly going brighter
Try cheat device
how to update codebreaker to 10.1 version?
I don't know unless there is a 10.1 elf file floating around on the internet...
Dude my codebreaker keeps freezing on the 'setting up cheats' part. Any ideas why?
Try cheat device, see if better results.
Hey buddy. I have a question and I hope you could help me. I'm new to PS2 modding. And I'm having some issues: I got a PS2 Fat with a Matrix chip. I got a memory card with FreeMcBoot V1 (I can't update it bc it's a clone memcard, not the original one). Also, I got a SATA modem for it, so I can load the games from the modem. The thing is, I can't make codebreaker work. Everytime I try to boot it up from uLaunchElf v4.43a, my screen just freezes. It doesn't matter if I load it from the USB, the memcard or the Hdd. It goes to black screen and then the TV stops recognizing signal. The PS2 seems on (Out of the lights being still on) but I can't even get inside the Codebreaker. How could I make it work? 🥺 Thanks in advance. 💜
Give cheat device a try
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Thanks buddy. I'm gonna try to look for 1, kinda hard in my country. And if there are some, must be pretty expensive

I want to play resident evil 4 in my funtuna memory card with opl and the game starts well but after selecting start game it hang on loading screen... Nothing else.... How can l solve it..... Please someone help me..... Pls
Disable cheats and try again, or try a different opl playing method
where do you get or download all of yoyr games?
I rip them from discs I have, or collected over the years from online websites
You can test pump it up please i do no can fix
Use cheat device and test that see what happens.
Finally, english language instructor
Welcome to the club. I was disappointed when trying to learn this topic all the videos at the time was a different language, but hopefully this one helped once I figured it out myself.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia maybe for next video, you can find out; will it work to put Ulaunch.elf in internal hardisk on PS2 FAT an run it by opl
So we dont need fmcb to run PS2 software
I couldn't play Jackie jhon adventure game in my ps2 console pls help me
Turn off cheats, maybe it breaks the game
When I try it’s still stuck on the black screen
Even with usb removed? Time to check out cheat device
Mine loads into u launch elf. Gonna try this today.
I have a PS2 30006R console with modchip (I'm unsure which modchip was installed as it was done by a shop many years ago), I bought the latest free mcboot 1.966 online, stick it in the memory card slot and powered on the PS2. The free mcboot logo came up and then it's just black screen. I can access opl by holding the L1 button and play games from my hdd normally but i really want the free mcboot to load properly instead of booting up with the black screen all the time. I don't want to disassemble my PS2 and check out the modchip as I wouldn't know how to put it all back.
The problem is it should be FMCB 1.953 (which I install for my clients) because the latest 1.966 has issues with modchips (hence your black issue). If you have a fat ps2 internal hard drive, you could install FHDB and then from there reinstall fmcb to a memory card to a compatible earlier version.
Idk why it was working for Me before by unplug the usb but now it's not anyone know how to fix it ??
Try cheat device or reinstall codebreaker.
It's working now thank you for ur help
How can I get this to work with internal hdd?
Haven't tried, I would think you can run it off internal hard drive or do you still get black screen? Otherwise try cheat device or ps2rd.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Works great on internal HDD! Followed the same steps in your video. Thanks
Yo everyone I don't know where to ask my question but do you think it would be possible to replace one of the USB ports 1.0 of the ps2 with 2.0 ports or higher by welding them ?? for better performance especially for the problem of fmv of the games
Doesn't matter since the ps2 back then was programmed at 1.1 speeds, usb 2.0 didn't exist I don't think back then at least not common place like usb 3 and usb c is nowadays
The codebreaker says failed to launchelf.cmf
I'm not seeing this at all on my end, either usb or now smb method. How do I replicate it? Are we sure its not a bad sector on the memory card maybe?
Not work on GT3
O meu funcionava mas agora da tela preta aí fica sem sinal
I got myself all PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 games rom set. Huge library. My cds were all damaged anyways. Enjoying on retroarch with my 3 year old reliving those croc2 crash bandicoot days.
Emulation has come off long ways from the decade back we used to try them. Not only are ps2 games fully playable.. buy even PS3 games are able to play, but that needs heavy PC setup.
@@MrAlan1828 Now that's what I call a hard core ps2 gamer! 😁
@@MrAlan1828
Wow. That setup is amazing, that was what I wanted to do.. with Wii remote play motion gaming with my son.
But my TV isn't able to support such, I was thinking of getting Nvidia shield, but now reconsidering getting something like your setup.
Looks like a big project though. The mat and everything, is there anyone out there reselling to make profit the complete setup as you described ? I wouldn't mind paying o get the setup as I just spent 2 weeks on retroarch and acquiring formating game dumps to different formats for it to works and haven't yet got anything as close fun as yours.
brooo I don't open it, it freezes. Is there a solution please? 😤😤😤😏😏😭😭😭😔😣😒🤔
Anybody happen to know why these cheat devices, codebreakers/ARMAX causes micro stutters in every game? It happens with both PS2 hardware and PCSX2.
Please update download link..

What about ps2 slim
Same process, doesn't matter if slim or fat.
OMG, you read my mind, It worked on my PS2 PHAT with HDD, could you make a tutorial showing how to add cheats on Codebreaker?, doesn't have bully cheats, thank you!
