you will need a ps2, a ps2memory card, a copy of "007 - agent under fire" (or other compatible game), and a few other things that can be downloaded.

basically you must rip an iso from one of the compatible games, then modify a couple of files and burn them to a disk. then you must start the official game and play it to a certain point, then swap out the modified disk you burnt which will allow you to load the boot app and install the loader. since you've got a slim, you will probably need to look up videos of the disc swapping procedure. it involves shoving little pieces of paper or plastic straws into a couple of sensors so the ps2 will not detect when the disk tray is opened and the disk is replaced.

here are a few links to start with:

AR Max can also be used to run FreeMCBoot's installer. Here's a tutorial on how to install it.

If you can get your hands on a PS2 memcard reader for PS3, you can use it on your PC to install the files also.

Seriously?! I sold my memor32 unit way back in the day & have been looking for another that isn't $50, lol. I can get a PS2->PS3 card adapter for like $5. Are there any special program tools needed to move the files like that?

The only thing I know you can use it for on PC is installing Free McBoot (there's an installer that works with it on the official site). I don't know if it supports 3rd party ones or not, I haven't tried it myself. If you're wanting to use it to move saves around then you'll have to do some research yourself ;)

Installing Freemcboot is all I really need to do anyway. Thanks a bunch, I didn't know it could be done like that. :D

Sadly, so far these consoles can not be softmodded. They were patched by Sony to not be softmodded :oops: :cry:
But the bright side is that you can find a PS2 for around 50-100 bucks these days on a popular online bidding website.
Any console sold after mid-2008 will most likely not be softmod-able.

Sorry for the disappointment!
