Review: It Works! - The card works exactly as it says - plug it in, switch it on and it boots up freemcboot without any additional work. Additional software is also included, including such as OPL which allows you to load stored ISOs from a USB, or HDD if you have one. Only comment to make on this is that the OPL version is very out of date, but fortunately this is easy to rectify by loading the up-to-date version onto USB and loading it using UlaunchElf, a program which is included on the card. The most up to date version of OPL is vastly superior, as it allows use of DS3/DS4 controllers via USB, as well as virtual memory cards to save games to USB storage. Having done some research online before purchasing, I was concerned that using USB storage to play my games from would be slow since the PS2 was made long before the days of USB 2.0, never mind 3.0. But I have had no problems so far running Crash Wrath of Cortex, Half-Life, The Sims and Crash Tag Team Racing. Load times were quite slow when I played Conflict: Vietnam, although I can't remember if they were just slow anyway back in the day. I haven't had any luck with PS1 games but I may get it working yet. All in all, a good product well worth the price. Could be improved by including more up-to-date versions of included software, but since this is so easily rectified I still give this 5 stars.
Review: Good - I'm happy. It seems to be doing the job alright 👍🏼

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this software allow ps1 games to work on a ps2 via hdmi converter? Thank you**
A: No. This is for running home brew software and PS2 backups. There are things you can do to get PS1 games running but compatibility is pretty terrible. It’s easier to use an emulator.

**Q: Hi there, apologies if i seem naive. is there an application included that would allow me to save game data (saves) to usb?**
A: Yes, if you are using a USB stick it is possible to copy memory card saves to the USB using this device, although i havent tried it myself it is possible

**Q: Will this work on scph-50003 version of the ps2?**
A: YES. It will work on ALL playsation2's from ANY region and all model numbers. The ONLY one it WONT work on is a small number of slim consoles with model number SCPH-9000XXX and a certain BIOS. Thank you.

**Q: How do you update opl on the 8mb card? the latest version appears to be 1.4mb but the remaining space is only 892kb after you delete the old version.**
A: Delete files you don't use/need. I deleted the cheat related things as there are better options available.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by D***W on 19 January 2026*

I purchased the kaico free mcboot to play back up copies of my ps2 games with the disc loader. I only needed to select the disc loader once now I just put a disc in and it boots itself. It is a good way to protect original copies of games. I use it with a kaico hdmi adapter and the picture quality is about as good as a ps2 will get . Would highly recommend the hdmi adapter too
