Manufacturer description

The Skywin FMCB Free McBoot PS2 Memory Card v1.966 comes with Free McBoot already installed. You don't need to install anything first. Plug it into your PlayStation 2's memory card slot and power on, and Free McBoot loads with no extra setup. Free McBoot is a softmod. It lets your PS2 launch homebrew software such as OPL (Open PS2 Loader), which starts games from a USB flash drive or an external hard disk. That means you can play classic PS2 titles without relying on the console's disc drive. The card also works as a normal PS2 memory card. It has 64 MB of space for game saves, in-game…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Skywin FMCB Free McBoot PS2 Memory Card v1.966 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Skywin's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install anything to use this Free McBoot card?

No. Free McBoot v1.966 is already on the card. Plug it into the memory card slot, power on the PS2, and Free McBoot loads without any extra installation.

Will this FMCB card work on my slim PS2?

It works on fat PS2 consoles and most slimline models. The exception is SCPH-9XXXX consoles running the v230 BIOS, where it is not supported. Check the model number on your console's label before buying.

How much storage does the card have?

The product title and description list 64 MB. That is enough for many game saves and in-game creations. Your actual game files stay on a USB flash drive or external hard disk.

Can I play PS2 games from a USB drive with this card?

Yes. Free McBoot lets the console run homebrew such as OPL (Open PS2 Loader), which launches games stored on a USB flash drive or external hard disk. OPL is not listed as included, so check the product listing for the preloaded apps.

Can I still use it as a normal PS2 memory card?

Yes. Besides running Free McBoot, it saves game progress, files and in-game creations like a standard PlayStation 2 memory card. For warranty terms, check the current Skywin product listing.
