Version 2.1
This release comes with a new version of Unirom (8.0.K).
It also fixes a bug with slot 2 images: the kernel patch now emulates the absence of the memory card, rather than sending unexpected responses (which some gam
es can't handle and hang).
Finally, the memory card images now contain the payload duplicated. This allows FreePSXBoot to work even with fake memory cards with a capacity of 64 kB instead of 128 kB.

Version 2.0 (support for slot 2)
This release provides memory card image files containing FreePSXBoot with Unirom 8.0.I.
Memory card images are now provided for slot 1 and slot 2. The memory card must then be plugged in the corresponding slot. Using slot 2 images is recommended, as the memory card can be left plugged in while playing. When launched, FreePSXBoot patches the PlayStation kernel to make games believe there is no memory card in slot 2, avoiding issues when loading or saving games.
Slot 1 images should be used only when using a Memcard Pro, or in case of problem with the slot 2 image. More information can be found in the README.
Changes since last version:
- 2021-07-03: FreePSXBoot patches the kernel when run from slot 2 (memory card can remain inserted)
- 2021-07-03: Exploit updated to work on slot 2
- 2021-07-03: Unirom version updated to 8.0.I
Use the image file corresponding to your model. If a model has multiple BIOS versions, they can be tried one by one, or the Unirom bootdisc can be used in conjunction with the disc swap trick.
