SP193 has continued the development where Jimmikaelkael and Neme left off and released FMCB v1.9 (aka Free Vast, Free MC Boot) for PS2. Check out the release thread over at psx-scene.com for more information. List of changes in human readable form:
* Smaller, faster and more stable. :P
* The HDD unit is now supported.
* The "Early Japanese"/PCMCIA units (SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000 and SCPH-18000) are fully supported.
* Chinese consoles are now supported (e.g. SCPH-50009).
* When you leave the CD/DVD tray ejected, FMCB/FHDB will not stall.
* Your play history will now be updated (The towers in the background of the "Sony computer entertainment" screen should continue to grow taller and greater in numbers)"
