Playstation 2 – FreeMcBoot using ImgBurn

Here’s how to burn your ISO:

To correctly burn your ISO on DVD it is essential to make a small patch on the ISO using a program called ‘ESR DISC PATCHER’ ​​which you can download for free by clicking here. Once your ISO is patched, you can burn it using Alcohol 120% or another burning software, remembering that you will have to put the slowest speed for burning and remembering also to use ONLY dvd-r.

If the burning program allows you (such as Alcohol 120%) set these parameters:

Writing method: RAW DAO
Buffer emptying protection ability: yes
Before making a backup copy of your favorite game, make sure it can work with Free McBoot by looking at the list of compatible games.

I remind you again to use DVD-R to burn your ISO. If you have .bin files they will be converted to .iso using two programs which are ImgBurn and CDmage.

I will briefly explain the procedure to follow:

1. Open the .bin file with CDmage;

3. Right click on ‘Track 1’ and choose ‘Data Track Properties’;
4. Take a screen of all the info (you will need it later);

7. Drag the previously extracted files into the new window;
