Free Mcboot Latest Version
This guide will assist in the installation of Free McBoot v1.8. If another version is desired one should just swap the one in the archive with the other one (this is more precisely covered in the appropriate part of the guide).
It goes without saying that you are 100% responsible for any damage you do to your equipment while following unofficial tutorials on the Internet. Although damaging anything when following this tutorial seems extremely unlikely.
You probably want to get your hands dirty by now, so here are the instructions step-by-step:
1. Extract the contents of OLLi_s8h – FMCB v1.8 _ ARMax _ USB Pack.rar into the root folder of the USB drive. If you don’t already have a file archiver, I suggest 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
1. Extract the contents of OLLi_s8h – FMCB v1.8 _ ARMax _ USB Pack.rar into the root folder of the USB drive. If you don’t already have a file archiver, I suggest 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
The root of the USB-drive should contain:
• INSTALL
• MaxSettings
• 00000_180_ActionRepl.max
• codelist.bin
• FREE_MCBOOT.ELF
• INSTALL
• MaxSettings
• 00000_180_ActionRepl.max
• codelist.bin
• FREE_MCBOOT.ELF
Optional step: Replace INSTALL and FREE_MCBOOT.ELF with a different version.
2. Boot up the Action Replay Max Evo disc in the PS2, without the USB-drive.
3. If prompted with «Internet Connection Detected. Do you wish to check online for updates?», press no.
4. Open Settings (Lower right corner), allow the codelist to load.
5. Turn off «Automatic Update Prompt» then «Save and Exit».
6. Now turn off the PS2 and connect your prepared USB-drive.
7. Boot up the Action Replay Max Evo disc again, this time while the USB-drive is connected to USB-port 1.
8. Open Max Memory.
9. Select My devices, then choose the USB-drive as the primary device.
10. Select «AR MAX Codelist ver. -804409333» and copy to MC1.
11. Press triangle to return to the primary device selection screen.
12. Choose the memory card.
13. You should have two entries called «ActionReplayMAX Settings», delete the one which is 66Kb in size (Size of selected files is shown right above the file list).
14. Press triangle to return to the primary device selection screen.
15. Choose the USB-drive.
16. Select «ActionReplayMAX Settings» and uncrush to MC1.
17. Reboot the PS2, still keeping the the disc inside and the USB connected.

18. Choose Expert Mode from the main menu. Allow the codelist to load.
19. On the following screen, choose ARMAX Evo.
20. Make sure «Running», «Payload [0000]», and «Payload [0001]» are all checked.
21. Press start on the controller and choose «Start game (3 codes)» from the game launch window.
22. As the Action Replay Max Evo disc is already in, just press X on the next prompt. Action Replay Max will automatically reload the main menu.
23. Now start Max Memory. The codes you just activated will run Free McBoot from the USBdrive upon starting Max Memory. (Don’t worry, you will still be able to use Max Memory after this when running the Action Replay Max Evo disc without the codes activated).
24. You are done. I strongly suggest formatting the memory card, but please keep in mind that this deletes everything on the memory card. Then install Free McBoot from the menu (I chose «multi version install»).
