+====== Information ======
+  * Information and resources for the PlayStation 2
+====== Free MCBoot ======
+===== Purpose =====
+  * Allows loading of Homebrew software ((most notably, Open PS2 Loader))
+===== Notes =====
+  * If installing, use Cross-Region for maximum compatibility ((it uses about 400KB more than a Normal Install))
+  * For some reason, the 1.9 installer didn't boot at all on two Slim PS2s with an old 1.8 install, but it worked fine on a Phat ((was able to format a separate Memory Card and install the updated Free MCBoot to it, reboot into that, and then install the updated version to the original Memory Card))
+===== Updates =====
+  * http://psx-scene.com/forums/f153/fmcb-v1-9-series-release-thread-116247
+====== Open PS2 Loader ======
+===== Purpose =====
+  * Allows to load ''.iso'' files over the network via a SMB server ((requires a PS2 with an Ethernet port; Phats don't have one by-default but Slims do))
+  * Might also allow for ''.iso'' files to load over USB ((never tried it; apparently Slims have slower USB ports))
+===== Notes =====
+  * Apparently games needing a disc swap can be cheat-engine'd in order to work ((notably Xtreme Legends of Dynasty/Samurai Warriors; TODO: Look more into this))
+===== Updates =====
+  * http://psx-scene.com/forums/f150/open-ps2-loader-project-v0-9-3-a-62141
