Exploits > SCPH-10K, SCPH-15K, and DTL-H10K(S) > Sony/other MemCard

Great! Here is your ProtoPwn download for Sony/other memcards:

Step 1 - How to use .psu

Read this tutorial first: PSU Paste Tutorial

Step 2 - Download Integral Files

Download ProtoPwn, BOOT, SYS-CONF, copy and psuPaste via wLE ISR exFAT to your memory card.

Download these optional but recommended apps and psuPaste via wLE ISR exFAT.

Step 4 - OSDMenu Configurator

  • OSDMenu COnfigurator

  • Download OSDMenu Configurator and place on device of choice (usb, mx4sio, mmce) at device:/APPS/
    You should end up with device:/APPS/SYS_OSDMENU-CONFIGURATOR/osdmenu-configurator.elf
    You will launch OSDMenu Configurator to configure your new hacked OSDSYS (OSDMenu) to show, hide, and edit options as desired once your PS2 is up and running in next step.

Step 5 - Reboot!

Reboot your PS2. The screenshots below are what you should see:

Example of what you will encounter:
  • PS2BBL_Pic

Step 1: Press controller button here for hotkeys or wait for it to autoboot what you have set for LK_AUTO_E? in mc?:/SYS-CONF/PS2BBL.INI

  • OSDMenu_Pic

Step 2: OSDMenu which is hacked OSDSYS. Edit mc?:/SYS-CONF/OSDMENU.CNF as desired. Simply remove # per entry to show items that are hidden.

  • protopwn-browser_pic

TIP: You can launch apps from here!

Landing on your hacked OSDSYS of choice:

PS2BBL.INI and PSXBBL.INI are setup so that minimal config changes are needed if at all. To land on your hacked OSDSYS of choice, install the OSDMenu/ FMCB Version XXXX as needed. If multiple are installed (such as the MMCE AIO downloads), you can delete in order from first to last to land on the desired app. This is especially useful for modchip users as they may not play well or at all with some or all of the OSDSYS such as I believe Mars Pro. In that case, just delete all of the SYS_OSDMENU and SYS_FMCB-XXXX folders. Modchip users may need to disable chip to do so.

PS2BBL Hotkeys:

PS2BBL-Hotkeys_Pic

Config @ mc?:/SYS-CONF/PS2BBL.INI

Emergency Mode

If something breaks on your setup but PS2BBL still boots, just hold R1+START. It will trigger emergency mode where PS2BBL will try to boot RESCUE.ELF from USB device Root on an endless loop. Recommended to rename wLE ISR Exfat to RESCUE.ELF
