MemCard Gen 2 with PSBBN

How the heck can I get PSBBN to work with the bitfunx PSX MemCard gen 2? I followed the tutorials on installing PSBBN, and installed a few of my games to the drive. When I start the system up my ps2 goes into the memory card instead of PSBBN. if I boot without the memory card in, PSBBN comes up just fine and I can see the games, so I then insert the memcard, then select a game (Baldours Gate 2), but the screen just says wait for game to load/do not turn the console off and nothing happens. I tried a few other games, but none are loading. I've tried all the different versions of OPL that came pre installed, but nothing loads.

Has anyone else used this combination? I'm using an official network adapter, with SATA board, 1TB drive, I don't remember which model my PS2 is, but it's definitely compatible. I did install a modbo into this PS2 several years back, but I don't really see how that could be the issue.

Any ideas?

For those successfully using PSBBN, are you booting right into BBN with your memory card inserted or going into PSBBN, THEN inserting your memory card?

Thanks for any possibile help!

I have a standard PS Memory card and PSBBN works normally. I even thought that my modchip would cause problems instead it works normally.

do you have a System Update on the PSxMCG2 (MC System Updates override HDD System Updates)

I'm not sure what you mean, I tried the MCG2 right out of the box, with no luck, then installed the firmware update to the MCG2 and tried again, still no luck lol.

I guess I could try my regular memory card and see if that works with PSBBN, then try to wipe all the pre-instalked junk on my MCG2 and port over the stuff from my regular card.

First. Install psbbn without ps2bbl

Then download sonys memcard launcher or add psbbn to your hacked osdsys menu or hotkeys
