* Copy the full memory card image corresponding to your model/BIOS to a memory card.
* Insert it **in slot 1**.
+* **If you have a SCPH-1002 with BIOS version 2.0: insert another memory card in slot 2 (its content doesn't matter)**.
* Power up your PlayStation with the lid open, and go to the memory card manager.
-* After a few seconds, the screen will flash orange. Wait ~30 seconds for the [Unirom](https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/unirom8_bootdisc_and_firmware_for_ps1) welcome screen to appear.
-* If the screen doesn't flash orange after 20 seconds, you have either used a wrong memory card image, or your model uses an exploit which is not 100% reliable. In that case, power off your PlayStation, wait for 1 minute, and try again.
-* Once Unirom is loaded, you can insert a CD, close the lid, and press **R1** to load the game.
+* After a few seconds, the screen will be filled with cyan. Wait ~30 seconds for the [Unirom](https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/unirom8_bootdisc_and_firmware_for_ps1) welcome screen to appear.
+* If the cyan screen doesn't appear, you have either used a wrong memory card image, or the memory card image was not written properly (the mcd file must be written as raw data to the memory card), or something else went wrong. If you are 100% certain that the memory card image was written properly, and that you are using the correct image, please open an issue.
+* Once Unirom is loaded, you can insert a CD, close the lid, and press **R1** to load the game. Note: Japanese PlayStation cannot have their CD drive unlocked by Unirom, and thus cannot load backups.
* Don't forget to remove your memory card, as its exploit will trigger into games as well. This isn't an issue when using the Memcard Pro, as it will automatically change the virtual card to the game you're booting.
# Restoring the memory card
* The most reliable way is to use [Memcarduino](https://github.com/ShendoXT/memcarduino) and its FORMAT option.
* Some games that have a save file manager (shows the contents of the memory card before saving) built into them, like *OddWorld: Abe's Oddysee* and *Cool Boarders 4 (suffers from a caveat that keeps the game from loading the memory card with certain exploit versions)* for example, can be used to overwrite FreePSXBoot when saving progress.
+* Some tools and games crash when attempting to format a memory card loaded with FreePSXBoot, but may be able to format it by first inserting a normal memory card, and switching it with the FreePSXBoot memory card just before the format operation starts.
* We plan to bundle a complete version of Unirom in the memory card images in the future, with the ability to format memory cards.
# Supported models
-* All models are supported except SCPH-3000, which will probably be supported in the future.
-* As of version 20210419, the exploit is 100% reliable on all supported models.
-* Certain PSOne consoles appear to not support the exploit in its entirety. We are currently checking on the issue to ensure that it is fully exploitable.
+* All models are supported and tested on emulator or real hardware, except the debug models (DTL-H) and Net Yaroze.
+* As of version 20210419, the exploit is 100% reliable on all supported models. Nevertheless, some exploit images were only tested on emulators and may not work on real hardware; feedback is welcome.
* See the table below for more details and download links.
## Changelog
+* 2021-04-21: Added support for BIOS 1.1, and fixed BIOS 2.0 exploit (needs icache flush to work)
+* 2021-04-21: Progress bar added in stage2 payload (thanks Nicolas Noble)

* 2021-04-19: Added support for BIOS 1.0 and 4.3 (SCPH-1000 and SCPH-100 respectively)
* 2021-04-19: Exploit 100% reliable for every supported BIOS; now hooks an ISR (thanks sickle)

-## Caveat
-
-The earlier version of this exploit relies on uninitialized memory in kernel space to be at 0 in order to work properly. The SDRAM chips have a fairly slow decay rate, and this exploit will only be reliable if the machine has been powered off for long enough.

These images are pre-built with Unirom.
