They also go through a few other methods

Tested it myself on my FreeMCBoot PS2 slim

This saves you having to snatch out the disc mid spin on the PS boot screen ragging your motor or possibly etching a disc

Recipe for playing psx back up games on a softmodded (not chipped) PS2 with PSXLauncher.ELF

1. PS2 v.9/SCPH 5000x and up
2. uLaunchelf
3. FMCB (1.8 preferably)
4. sliding tool or flip top cover for fat/slim PS2
4a. fat PS2 flip-top lid
4b. slim PS2 flip-top lid
4c. sliding tool/magic key
5. USB stick
6. PS1 game
7. PSXlauncher.ELF (the enchilada)



for a slim ps2: you must have an mc exploit and "your slim needs to be sensor modded." look for a tut for how to sensor mod your slim. psxlauncher will work on your slim if the sensors are blocked.

so i'm assuming that you already have a memory card exploit. from your PC download psxlauncher.ELF and copy & paste it to your USB stick. in uLE's filebrowser, go to mass: to access your USB stick and then push R1 to copy psxlauncher.ELF. now go to mc0: (your memory card) and in the boot folder paste psxlauncher.ELF. now your ready to boot psxLauncher.

now push O on your gamepad to open psxlauncher.ELF that you just pasted. a black screen will appear with instructions of how play psx games (it's so freaking hard to read the lettering on the screen).

ok, now do this

1. insert your original PS1 game (don't press any buttons yet)
2. the game will spin for a few seconds. after it stops, "swap" the disc with your PSX back up with a sliding tool or with your flip top PS2 lid.
3. press "X"

**it helps to have the disc tray open during FMCB and then pop the orig psx game as soon as psxlauncherelf is already on your screen.

if you got it right on money then the PS1 logo will appear and tadda!!!! you're now playing your psx back up game.

if you are having trouble booting psxlauncher.elf then you are experiencing 1 out of 4 things.
1. you don't have a flip top ps2 case or don't have a sliding tool.
2. you are probably not doing the slide tool trick right.
3. your psx back up was a bad burn.
4. your ps2 slim isn't sensor modded.
