CTurt scener has finally achieved a Playstation 2 DVD-VIDEO exploit (using an IFO buffer overflow). Which means that a simple burned DVD can be loaded in a completely unmodified Playstation 2 unit.
Unfortunately it only works on Playstation 2 Slim 3.10 (E/U/J) DVD player version, one of the ~50 player versions of all Playstation 2 models. He wants to expand the DVD player support but he must find each buffer overflow in each version, so it will take time. I have tested a 3.11E player and, indeed, it doesn't launch the primary boot.
He has published a pre-compiled DVD on GitHub with uLaunchELF as a primary boot, so you can burn it and execute any kind of executable (elf) file, including the Free McBoot installer. That would make unnecessary any other method to install FMB.
Disclaimer: This is not a piracy thread and the project is completely open/legal.
Update: It has been ported to 3.11 E/U/J. It works fine on my 3.11E
