The original Independence Exploit method does not work on newer "slim" PS2 models. However, there are other ways of installing similar programs to the memory card using Swap Magic discs or commercial cheat discs, such as Action Replay MAX.

Free McBoot is a newer PS2 exploit that is more user friendly (once set up) and works on allmost models of the PS2, including slimlines,. Only priorthe tonewest model SCPH-9000x with BIOS 2.30 (manufactured late 2008) and newer does not work.

FMCB does not require a trigger disk, thus making it possible to use on systems with dead disk drives.

The drawback is that FMCB MUST be installed/compiled on each memory card individually, copying the exploit does NOT work, this means that an already exploited or modded system is required in order to create new installations.

The FMCB installation is keyed to the memory card, not the system.

'''Free McBoot at 900xx Models'''

Just for the newest 900xx Model:

FMCB work: Date-Code 8a & 8b (8c ONLY with '''v2.20''' BIOS. The PS2 BIOS can´t be flashed!)

FMCB doesn't work on: Date-Code 8c & 8d (BIOS Version 2.30)
