DVDELF.BIN

Using a  75KB DVDELF will allow you to minimize MC space usage. This is very useful for those who use a 8MB memory card and space is valuable.

 

 

Download this rar of   75KB DVDELF files and extract one to your INJECT folder.

This RAR will contain MOST, if not all of the possible regions.  You will not need all of them, but you they could be useful if you obtain a system not of your region.  Also, adding a DVDELF.BIN is completely optional, but is a very nice feature to save on memory card space.

 

You need to use the region that your PS2 is.  for example, if you have a NTSC US console, you need to use the DVDPLU and rename it to DVDELF.BIN and insert it into the INJECT folder.

 

Another example would be if you have a European PAL console, you would use the DVDPLE file and rename it to DVDELF.BIN and insert it into the INJECT folder.

 

One more example if you have an Oceanic region console, you would use the DVDPLO file and rename it to DVDELF.BIN and insert it into the INJECT folder.

You get the picture on it. :)

 

 

 

 

 

EMBED.ELF

This function was originally created to allow developers to replace the FMCB ELF loader with a newly created one for development purposes with out the need to recompile the entire project.
 However, this can still be useful if you want to replace FMCB's OSD ELF Loader with an external ELF file such as uLaunchELF, an Emulator or SMS  if you only want to run a single application .

 I don't recommend doing this since it would remove virtually all the features Free McBoot offers, but the option is yours if you choose.  Keep in mind, that not all homebrew programs will work like this and can result in an error message during FMCB installation saying "Failed to inject ELF."  If you see that error message, just either replace the ELF or disregard installing it since it is optional.

 

If you are planning to use this feature, you must rename the external ELF file (case sensitive) to EMBED.ELF

Also, it must be placed in the INJECT folder of the FMCB installer.
