PS2 FMCB/FHDB v1.9 series release thread

[Igorevich]

I was being stupid, now I see where the binaries are

Installed FreeHdboot on an old IDE drive successfully and with hdldump it should be no problem getting the images over to the ps2

Of course, for that purpose was hdldump written. ;]

Binaries are under releases section on GitHub of each repository (if author attached them of course; for both mentioned they are). And if You not trusting binaries, You can always do the job from live session. :P

So far my FHDB is running fine, adding games over the network works. I noticed, that sometimes the PS2 won't boot into FHDB, but goes to the normal OSD instead. I can't tell what triggers this, but rebooting once or twice helps.

What might be causing this? I'm still using an IDE drive, maybe it's just too slow and "skips a beat" sometimes during boot?

Drive was formatted with HddManager, has one extra +OPL partition and FHDB installed from USB drive (installation from memory card would not start, launching the .elf file was without effect).
