''We recently found a new way to install FMCB with the PlayStation3 Memory Card Adaptor (CECHZM1) connected to your PC. Since this device is somewhat cheap, it could be a good alternate way for those who don't have access to an already hacked PS2.'' ''The method consist of a command line software and using set of commands (or scripts) in order to install the FMBC hack properly. It also has the advantage to do a multi region/models installation.'' ''One restriction is that the software doesn't work with Datel's MC (mainly related with setting a proper termination code for communications) and maybe with some other brands, however it was tested successfully with official 8MB Memory Cards and with some crappy Chinese clones too.'' ''Currently the FMCB loader being installed is v1.8c which contain an important kernel fix for the 10K.'' ''The util to allow to communicate and sign the file for the MC was made by me and "someone who wants to stay anonymous". Note that without this anonymous contributor it would have been impossible to achieve it.

The Playstation Memory Cards have an interface similar to the Controller Port, which is similar to SPI. They normally have 1 Mb or 128 Kilobyte of EEprom memory. Serial data transfer is LSB-First format. Some bigger non-Sony Cards use internal bankswitching (Multiple virtual Cards with a button switching to the next bank each press / alternatively some do not have a button but rely on buttoncombos with the Dualshock controller). Other bigger non-Sony Cards (e.g. Datel MAX 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB) address it as a single card (and thus can be very slow).

The controller port is exactly the same electrically as the memory card port (with an extra pin, which could be used as lightpen input but most or all controllers leave the pin unused.

*You don t really need to solder wires but instead use generic jumper wires attached to each other with some rubber (they should fit the spacing of the memory card pins, 1" / 2.54mm) as the insulated terminals/insulated solid tips are also 1" thick.
