PS2 Docking station not working with Free McBoot

[AndyG72]

Hi All,

Newbie here, hope everyone's ok? Need a bit of help. Recently discovered that I could add a HDD to my Phat PS2. Anyway, got that all sorted now and all my games on the HDD. Has literally brought the console back to life as the CD/DVD drive is starting to get a bit lazy these days.

Anyway, the one problem I have is that I have a Competion Pro Docking Station with a DVD Remote control. It has four slots for memory cards and four ports for game controllers. It basically plugs into port 1 (card & controller slot) This is no longer working since I put Free McBoot on. It says something like the controller plugged into port 1 is not supported and to insert a dualshock 2 controller or words to that effect. I know it's not a controller, it's a docking station lol

It's not a big issue given the advantages of having a HDD in the console but if anyone knows how to get it to work with Free McBoot then answers on a postcard below please

TIA

I'm not sure about what you asking. As I understood, FMCB not booting if placed to one of these ports? Does card is even recognized in PS2 Browser? Did you tried boot it with disconnected that parasite? It is possible that OSD Update not boot from anything else than slot0 port0 and slot 1 port 0.

Technically, docking stations not exist for PS2. What you refer to is vertical stand + multitap + IRDA receiver. And as all non licensed multitaps, it brings issues with games which needs original (God knows why) DS2.
