I am collecting psx rpgs and since most of these were never released in the EU I have to deal with imports. I can only recommend getting a modded ps2. They're not expensive, you can get lucky and score a ps2 fat for 30 euros with a decent modchip. I'd rather do that if I were you then having to use disk swapping.The only thing to remember is that the games will not be fullscreen.
I am not sure why this happens, but imported games have a different aspect ratio on psx/ps2 consoles. Can someone explain that to me?
Can't be ntsc 60hz vs pal 50hz since modern tvs display ntsc input just as well as pal. FMCB by itself just enables you to run homebrew software with ease, mainly using the custom menu that you can now boot into (each new menu entery you'll see launches some kind of homebrew executable).In order to get stuff running, you will need to copy the ELF executables (ELF being the software executable format the PS2 uses) that you need unto either the memory-card itself or unto a USB flash-drive. Once you do that, you can either add new menu entries for each ELF file (which is done using the 'FMCB Configurator' option) or launch it manually using uLaunchELF's file browser (just navigate to the location of your ELF executable, select it and hit 'circle' on the controller).If you choose to add a menu entery, i would recommend to first copy the ELF file unto the memory-card.
Just put the ELF unto on a USB flash-drive, navigate to it's location using uLaunchELF's file browser and copy it to either 'mc0:' or 'mc1:' (depending on where you memory card is plugged at that momement).Btw,What's the model number and region of both of your consoles?
