FunTuna (Free McBoot for Fortuna)

PS2 FunTuna (Free McBoot for Fortuna) v1 (r3)

Your modchip probably has issues with the FMCB-Payload, specifically the hacked OSDSYS.
Do the apps start, if you hold the mapped buttons during the logo?

I actually haven't tried that and don't really know how to sorry. I can try really quickly though. Anywhere I can learn how to do it so I report back?
 
Nope not really. If i hold triangle square I can get in the menu and such. But for the shoulder buttons to work shouldn't I actually map them to something?
Dude... At the FMCB-Logo...!

If you would hold TRIANGLE and SQUARE at this, NOTHING would happen...

...and... The shoulderbuttons ARE mapped to various apps... which I already wrote BEFORE your reply!
 
Hola Buen día !!
Es la primera vez que me registro en el foro aunque hace ya muchos años que entro aquí para buscar información que siempre me ha ayudado con mi PS2. Me he registrado porque quería saber si me pueden ayudar en algo.
Tengo una PS2 slim SCPH-79001 NTSC U / C con chip matrix 1,93
Quiero instalar FunTuna en una MC pirata de 32MB pero no puedo lograr que funcione.
En la misma MC he querido instalar muchas veces FMCB sin éxito debido a que me sale el famoso cartel "No se puede vincular el archivo MagicGate a la tarjeta de memoria" por lo que seguramente esta MC no es compatible con Magic Gate. He probado con distintas versiones 1.8b, 1.8c, 1.965, 1966 ... y nunca tuve éxito. Sin embargo siempre uso la misma MC en el slot1 para guardar las partidas ya que siempre me funcionó para las save de todos los juegos, por lo que uso otra MC de 64MB en el slot2 com FMCB hace ya muchos años y nunca tuve problemas mayores. Sólo a veces es necesario apagar y reiniciar 3 ó 4 veces la PS2 para que arranque bien el FMCB porque parece como que le es difícil arrancarlo. pero lo demas, siempre me funcionó muy bien la MC de 64 en el slot2.
Cuando termino de instalar "FunTuna-R2.psu" reinicio la PS2, entro al navegador, comienza a cargar los iconos de los juegos, luego aparece el icono invisible, presiono 1 vez O, vuelve a aparecer el ícono invisible, presiono otra vez O y se me queda la pantalla negra y ahi no se puede hacer otra cosa. Sólo pantalla negra.
Probé instalando FunTuna pero deshabilitando el chip matrix por si el chip era el que estaba causando un problema de compatibilidad con la MC, y obtuve un reslutado parecido pero con un cambio. Al momento de presionar 2 veces O en el ícono invisible, no aparece la pantalla negra, sino que me vuelve al menú de inicio de la PS2 (donde dice NAVEGADOR y CONFIGURACIÓN DE SISTEMA).
También probe instalar la versión no oficial de @jolek por si el problema estaba en el uLE, o en el Boot pero los resultados fueron los mismos.
O cosa que probé fue usar el uLE que viene dentro del archivo RAR (WorkingULE.ELF) y no me funcionó. Intenté cargar WorkingULE.ELF desde mi propio explorador uLE que he usado siempre, o desde el OPL en el menú APPS y de ambas formas no puedo ajecutarlo.
Lo único que me queda por probar en esata MC es con Fortuna, pero viendo los resultados que tuve con FunTuna y con FMCB, seguramente pase lo mismo.
¿Cuál será mi problema? ¿Será solamente que Funtuna no funciona en las MC que no son compatibles con Magic Gate o quizás sea otro el problema?

Hi good day !! It is the first time that I have registered in the forum, although it has been many years since I have been here to find information that has always helped me with my PS2. I have registered because I wanted to know if you can help me with something. I have a PS2 slim SCPH-79001 NTSC U / C with 1.93 matrix chip I want to install FunTuna on a 32MB pirate MC but I can't get it to work. In the same MC I have wanted to install FMCB many times without success because I get the famous poster "Cannot link the MagicGate file to the memory card" so surely this MC is not compatible with Magic Gate. I have tried different versions 1.8b, 1.8c, 1965, 1966 ... and never had success. However I always use the same MC in slot1 to save the games since it always worked for me for the saves of all games, so I use another 64MB MC in slot2 with FMCB many years ago and I never had major problems. Only sometimes is it necessary to shut down and restart the PS2 3 or 4 times for the FMCB to start properly because it seems like it is difficult to start it. but the rest, the MC of 64 in slot2 always worked very well for me. When I finish installing "FunTuna-R2.psu" I restart the PS2, I enter the browser, it begins to load the icons of the games, then the invisible icon appears, I press 1 time O, the invisible icon appears again, I press O again and the screen is black and there you can not do anything else. Black screen only. I tried installing FunTuna but disabling the matrix chip in case the chip was causing a compatibility problem with the MC, and I got a similar result but with a change. At the moment of pressing 2 times O on the invisible icon, the black screen does not appear, but it returns me to the start menu of the PS2 (where it says BROWSER and SYSTEM CONFIGURATION). I also tried to install the unofficial version of @jolek in case the problem was in the uLE, or in the Boot but the results were the same. Or thing I tried was to use the uLE that comes inside the RAR file (WorkingULE.ELF) and it didn't work for me. I tried to load WorkingULE.ELF from my own uLE browser that I have always used, or from the OPL in the APPS menu and both ways I can't run it. The only thing I have left to test in esata MC is with Fortuna, but seeing the results I had with FunTuna and with FMCB, surely the same thing happens. What will my problem be? Is it just that Funtuna does not work on MCs that are not compatible with Magic Gate or maybe something else is the problem?

You are welcome to post in any language but please provide an English translation also. :)
 
Hey Im pretty new to this modding stuff and sorry if this sounds stupid but I cant seem to figure it out. When I try to update the opl version in funtuna my console returns back to its normal unmodified version and I cannot reactivate funtuna after that. The same goes for esr gui. After that I can reinstall funtuna and it runs without a problem. Its only happening when I try to update these two programs. Could anyone explain to me the reason that this is happening?
 
@Squash
I couldn't figure out how to upgrade OPL with FunTuna either, especially because my FMCB configurator wouldn't run after setup. I understood it as it being something to do with timestamp that needs to be reset. I ended up using 'FMCB\FHDB Noobie Package' instead, worked flawlessly. However, your model might not allow this (i.e. SCPH-90000).

Yeah unfortunately I own a SCPH-90004, version 3.11E and I already tried to instal FMCB v.1966 with the FreeDVDBoot method. However that did not work at all and when I got to the FMCB installer it gave me this exact message "This console does not support FMCB". Funtuna is really the only method that worked for me so when I couldnt get certain games to run (such as Jak and Daxter: The precursor Legacy, Ratchet and Clank 3 and Crash Nitro Kart...) I was pretty bothered by that and since Im quite stubborn as a person I just cant come to terms with the fact that I just cant run these games.
 
Does anyone know if Fortuna and FunTuna work on MCs not compatible with Magic Gate? In which MCs do both programs work and in which not?
 
Replace the current OPL ELF file with the new one or link the new one to another item with the configurator
Doesn't work that way, because it changes the date of the folder and it needs to be the first one in the Save-list.
He needs to start the included FMCB configurator (DIRECTLY AFTER REPLACING/INSERTING THE ELF, not exiting wLE) , load and save the config.

Yes, it works on MCs without MagicGate.
It works from both slots.

As far as I know the folder timestamp isn't affected by replacing/adding files (I've tested that)
