Drove around Sacramento the last couple of days looking for a gameshark or action replay for the PS2 (things that give you means of exploiting and running indie homebrew software on the PS2). No luck… I ordered swap magic discs (another means of exploit) and it seems they only just shipped today (even though I ordered them over a month ago). So looks like I’m headed to Stockton to pick up an exploited PS2 memory card today. Hope all goes well!
UPDATE:
The trip to Stockton was a success! Got a memory card with Free McBoot and successfully ran “Freddi Fish” on my PS2 via ScummVM!
