So that is part of the FreeMcBoot package, and that basically allows you to play backups. So this allows access to the USB thumb drive as well as the 500 gigabyte hard drive and also the memory card. So on this device you have installed uLaunchELF. Let’s very quickly walk through the menu here. He kinda described to me as though he’s sort of replacing the standard graphics driver with something that is way more optimized and way more powerful. And essentially what that allowed this to do is kinda push a standard PlayStation 2 console to be able to output most games at 1080i or 1080p, or true HD.
So what Chris did is he basically did a bunch of research to figure out just the right version of an application called FreeMcBoot, and then he paired that with the right version of OpenLoader. Let’s go ahead and turn it on and check it out. And this particular drive is 500 gigabytes. However, for this one, he is using a third-party solution here that supports SATA. One thing to know about the hard drives is that, originally, when the PlayStation 2 launched, it supported IDE hard drives, so that’s a older style connector of hard drives.

So to get this running, you basically plug in a custom formatted MagicGate memory card. Now, right off the bat, I do wanna mention that this is using the PlayStation 2 fat model, the original, because it also includes a hard drive in there, and obviously the slim model doesn’t support that. So I was contacted by this guy named Chris who said he and his buddy, Brian, had been working for quite a while to find the perfect mix of the software that’s out there on the Internet to bring it together, to figure out what versions are perfect to try to get the maximum amount of resolution and performance out of the PlayStation 2. It’s completely software-driven, and it’s pretty neat. However, what’s unique about this is that it doesn’t require any modification to the inside of the console itself. This is a modded PlayStation 2 to output HD. – Hey, guys, Metal Jesus here, and today I’m back again with a pretty cool video. Here is an overview with gameplay footage. It’s possible to output a standard PlayStation 2 (PS2) with High Definition graphics in either 1080i or 1080p, with NO MODS to the inside of the console.
