This tutorial requires this file to be extracted to C:\MC. You may change the file "boot.elf" to any ps2 application you want and it will boot first. You can also add other ps2 applications in the FILES directory so that you can run them using Ps2Menu which is currently the program that first boots..

Part 1 (grabbing the ID Code off the PSX disc)

1. Get the PSX ( Playstation 1 ) disc that you'll be using to boot your exploits with.
2. Download and run IDGET (you can open from current location if you wish.)

Part 2 (creating TITLE.DB)

2. Type in your ID Code in the new window and click Make TITLE.DB to download your TITLE.DB (Make sure you put it in C:\MC, and dont change the name of the file!
