This video is Part 5 of our "Restoring the Sony PSX DESR-7000" series.
Here we take a look at Free McBoot (FMCB) for the PSX - how you create the FMCB memory card, how you configure it for use with the PSX and ultimately how you use it because it is a little different to using it on a standard PS2 console.
It's a very flexible tool for the PSX, whether you have some aspect of failed hardware like a burner laser or HDD, or whether you're trying to preserve your fully working unicorn of a unit! I'd highly recommend it as a way to go if you're interested in procuring one of these consoles for yourself.
