Free McBoot (FMCB) is a self booting app that only needs to be installed onto a PS2 MemoryCard. No modchips or Boot discs are required once installed.
FMCB is a simple program launcher for homebrew applications (apps) and doesnt come with any programs included with an official release. It is however pre-configured to use several recommended apps , so all you would need to do is simply add the ones you wish to use. By reading the Advanced User Guide, you can find out what to do if you wish to add other apps or files.
Due to a large number of people not able to understand the advanced guides, i have created a Noobie Guide and a Noobie Package with the recommended apps included, so all thats required is to install it as is. Once you are more familar with using FMCB, you can add more apps , configure it to your taste and even add skins to some apps that allow it.

3. Launch SwapMagic in your PS3 and press UP+L1, then Open PS2 Loader should start.
SwapMagic has 4 options to run an ELF file, so you can use any of them if you have other ELFs your also using with SwapMagic.

- SMBOOT2.ELF = UP + R1
- SMBOOT3.ELF = UP + R2
