Here is a nice and easy to use pre-compiled set of tools for the PC that can used to install Free Mc Boot v1.8c. All one would need is a PS2 to PS3 MC adapter model number CECHZM1 only will work as of this moment. I don't expect the dev to add support for third party adapters but they are under $10 shipped. I have added easy to use bat files so no CMD prompt knowledge is needed. All you need to do is install the drivers for the MC adapter for use on your PC, I will provide the Windows drivers below I have tested them on Windows Xp x86 and Windows 7 x64 both worked without a hitch.
1~ Install Drivers for adapter, Windows drivers can be found HERE
2~ Insert PS2 MC into device and plug into your PC via USB port and wait for it to be recognized.
3~ Run FORMAT.BAT from the Free Mc Boot v1.8c pack found HERE (warning this will format the entire card backup your saves before doing so. Either using the CECHZM1 to the PC or to another PS2 MC for the time being)
4~ After it formats the PS2 memory card successfully, then double click the INSTALL.BAT and wait. It will install the mod for you with all needed applications
5~ Insert into ANY PS2 and enjoy your newly modded memory card, it will have HDLoader, SMS Media Server, ESR, and uLaunch pre-installed
Now I will say I have had it fail a time of two and had to restart the process but it doesn't take long and always works in the end. Only card I have ever had fail was a 128mb card that was some el cheapo rip off. All Magic Gate cards seem to have just about a 100% success rate for installs so an official card is suggested but not required. If it fusses up simply format and then re-install and you will get there in the end.
