Making and loading the mem card exploit

First unzip these files to a folder on your hard drive:

1) titlemanfrontend

2) cdgenps2

3) exploit

Once you have those unzipped you first need to create a title.db file with a disc id from a ps1 game, this game will be your trigger disc.

The disc id is the number on the front of your disc and the spine of the case, it will be something like sles_03286, but when you create your title.db using titleman frontend you have to put a point after the third number i.e. sles_032.86, so whatever your id number is the numbers after the sles_ will always be in the format “xxx.xx” where the x’ are your id numbers.

1) open the titleman frontend folder, and double click the titleman frontend icon

Then at this screen, click on the “create title.db button, then type in your disc id number.

So now it should look something like this.

Now click the “add exec” button

Then to make sure the id number has been added to the title.db click on the “list current contents of title.db” button, and you should see something like this

Now you will see that the titleman frontend folder has a title.db file added

You will now have to copy, or cut and paste the title.db file into the exploit folder, and you are ready to create your exploit image.

1) Open the cdgenps2 folder and double click the cdgenps2 icon

2) Next open the exploit folder

3) now add all the files as shown in order, except for the “files” folder which must go in last

Now click on file and then create cd, and browse to a folder to use.

You will then end up with these files

That is your exploit image created.

Now you need to burn the image to a cd rom, here I am using alcohol 120% (you can download a trial version of this).

Start alcohol and click on the image burning wizard, as here

Then browse to the folder containing the .cue file from the image you created earlier, and click on the “next” button.

These are the default settings, but if they are not set like this choose them, and make sure the speed is set to 4x or less.

Then insert a blank cd-r and click on start, and that is it.

using the exploit

You need about 1 MB free space on your memory card.

You will need to use swapmagic cd or cheat disc (see instructions for loading backups, using a cheat disc), or get someone who has a method of loading backups to load the mem card exploit, when it has finished loading onto your mem card reset the ps2, insert your trigger psx disk and wait for the message “psx cd rom”, then you can load either cd backups or dvd.

Cd load: at the psx cd rom message eject the disk and insert higher toc ps2 disc (disc that is larger in file size) , when message changes to ps2 cd rom and the disk on-screen turns blue use your flip top/ swipe card to change to your backup disk, press x and it will load after a couple of seconds.

Dvd load: at the psx cd rom message use your flip top/ swipe card to change to the cdloader disk, press x, you may have to press x a couple of times, when cdloader loads eject and swap for higher toc dvd disk, wait for the message “change disk and press x”, press x with toc disk still in the ps2 then it will say change disk by ea method, use your flip top/ swipe card to change to your backup disk then press x

I cannot guarantee that this will work on consoles above V7
