Russian Hackers Memento give Memor 32 PS2 memory card mod-chip functions

[Zeus]

We have received a tip from what we presume to be Russian hackers (based on their site domain) which indicates they have successfully hacked the Memor 32 memory card for PS2 in order to enable it to have the power of a PS2 mod chip. This means that imports, homebrew and backups will now be possible if you flash their hacked BIOS onto the PS2 Memor 32 memory card. The user interface is reportedly not complete but they are working on improving things. Currently they have upload a PAL beta of their hack for the Memor 32. The Memor 32 features 32MB of memory and a USB port so it is possible to just flash this hack from Memento right onto the card within a few seconds.


Finally we are almost done!

We had some last minute issues and decided to test them deeper to be sure that all was working good.

We are still completing the User interface and will have to need a couple more days to finish up.

We decided meantime to release this first BETA PAL ONLY version of the software for everyone to test.

This should start to give you a good idea about how easy and flexible the final release wil be, but remember, is only a BETA!!

Final version is due this week.

Definitely skeptical on this release. I really hope it's true, and can't wait to see more evidence.

[ShortFlip]

Are people still working on hacking a system that has been out for 7 years now?

[RDJ134]

Sounds good but how do you get that bios on a Memcard??

[SoCalSRH]

Definitely skeptical on this release. I really hope it's true, and can't wait to see more evidence.

skeptical? really? like the people behind this were planning to sell a lot of these things with only usb game save functionality? come on! don't be so naive. this was the original intentions of this thing from the beginning...it's still years too late tho.

[thunderchild214]

id love to see this be made available so that it will work on regular memory cards

[SynGamer]

Are people still working on hacking a system that has been out for 7 years now?

Why not? I mean, the PS2 library is huge, so if anything, this would prolong my use of the system instead of buying a next-gen console if i didn't have one already.

[JonathanD]

tc214

I would give that about a month (maybe faster who knows lol)

Maybe use the exploit installer off a CDR ? (for the "if your console is modded then why do you need this" its so you can make it for other people who have no mod chip)

[JacKz5o]

The PS2 is old...

[s00pcan]

I remember something exactly like this over the summer.. except that was a product to be sold.

[Melchior00]

Are people still working on hacking a system that has been out for 7 years now?

Yeah, the same old system that sold so far 120 millions consoles and still selling
around 10k units per week in japan..

Wow how fast and convenient are they ?! Spaseeba!
Even if the memor32 isin't already released!
And now, both the bios and the mc will be released in same time ?! Thats just too good to be true!



This bios upgrade was planned since the very beginning. This way, they avoid the legal issues to sell a modchip witch isn't, if not upgraded after all.

[VGed666]

Sweet! I'm glad memor32/Memento went this way of doing it.

[Kenban]

I downloaded the file and took a look at the read me. There is a file included to patch ISO's before they will work with this hack. So it appears this does not work with standard copies. I would be interested in hearing reports of how this works after people start getting the memory cards.

I would like to copy-paste you the technical stuff about it, but the psx-scene server is closed for the day. So far as I know about it, Memor32 MCs wich are magic gate friendly, use the very same signature ID (into the magic gate encryption). Each legal memory cards have their own IDs witch mean that simply copying the stuff in the memor32 MC to yours wouldn't make it with the same features since the IDs wouldn't be the same.

it could be sony selling an overpriced mem card to punters who think it might be vast or similar (after all anything for a profit)

Yeah!.. It makes now even more sense.

[ModderFokker]

Sounds good but how do you get that bios on a Memcard??

If i remember correctly these cards have a USB port as well :D

[NSCXP]

this is cool, just wondering what ever happened to VAST?

is the Memor32 card out yet?

[vango]

Just a thought ??

I was able to load exploits onto memory card via xploder ( or something like that ) with a crossover cable pc > ps2

Can this be used to load the software rather than a moddified ps2 ?

Do you still need the magic gate memory card for singing ?

I think a french website had preorders for the memor card ?

[jay123_2]

Shame This Mod wont run of a usb flash pen drive saves buying the memorycard lol

[lorin]

so has anyone tried to copy this to ReplayMaxx or anyother cheat device?
-What makes this Memor32 so special?
I gues it should be possible to get this running on ANY cheat device.. correct me if I'm wrong.

[orangeman]

maybe just maybe this mod could work on a ps2 game in a ps3 ad then be re modded to work woth ps3 games?

[Horrorwood]

maybe just maybe this mod could work on a ps2 game in a ps3 ad then be re modded to work woth ps3 games?

Maybe.

Or maybe you are an idiot.

I think i will go with my second statement TBH.

[FriscoFunk]

Maybe.

Or maybe you are an idiot.

I think i will go with my second statement TBH.

He's not an idiot. The exploit is published after the latest firmware update, and maybe Sony didn't see the hole and did not patched it. It would be not usable in the PS3 mode, but in the PS2 mode, why not? That was the idea of FreeVAST, but I don't know if that project was fake or not.

I talked to a few hackers around and they all back up the idea (not the PS3 Mode, but PS2 yes), so I think that the only idiot around here is you. So next time maybe don't rush and call people names, O.K?:)

[tralalawala]

He's not an idiot.

He actually surmised that maybe it was possible to use it to play ps3 iso's.

Most people would call that stupid, if not downright idiotic.

well, how i see it, you cant
ps3 wont read directly from the memory card,
ps3 only reads 8mb memory cards,
you would have to copy it to the ps3,
ps2 emulation isnt 100% like a real ps2(thats why most ps2 homebrew dont work)
so has anyone tried to copy this to ReplayMaxx or anyother cheat device?
-What makes this Memor32 so special?
I gues it should be possible to get this running on ANY cheat device.. correct me if I'm wrong.
i think the reason of this is because it haves usb, which means you can write directly to it, so maybe it is needed to write on it similar like making the magic memory stick for psp, which can only be made on pc, this would explain why it cant be copied to another memory card without being connected to the pc via usb. But i think it haves to do with magic gate, so if you copy it in anyother way, it wil break and not work.

But who knows, lets just wait and see :D

[kneehighspy]

sounds like i need to get a new ps2 (or perhaps a ps3 solution) and one of these cards to enjoy my old ps2 collection gathering dust in a cardboard box.

would be nice just to be able to use all my old 'backups' on my ps3 somehow.

[saleem]

i might try this out for a laugh.i got a ps2 that boots dvdr already.but,i got one that just needs the ribbon for the controoler and memory card slot.it would be a good guinea pig
:)

[Fasman]

Hmmm...

Does it have a function to auto start a ELF from memory card on startup...

...Becouse It would be easy just to load HD Loader (patched) to it and simply copy isos trough then network to the Ps2,no need to patch anything and quick startup :D

you are right, we could just launch ulaunch elf and load whatever, but i already have a ps2 with hdd and dms, anyways ps2 already have the independance exploit which is pretty easy to do, this one should be focused for ps2 slim.
but anyways patching anything still good enough to me

[squall3031]

it would be nice if we can use this exploit on original memory card.

[orangeman]

man you ppl here shoot ppl when its only a hope in our minds lol!!

ur a rude n00b13 who needs an ass kickin lol

wish i was only round the corner to own you

[belmonte]

Hello everybody,

I've one memor32 from the last week, in Spain they were selling them, and for the moment it's working with the beta file of Memento, but maybe because it's a beta I'm getting some problems with some games that I tested.

I've made a backup of my original, Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles, patch the ISO, and burned into a DVD-RW Verbatim, all was perfect, no delays, load and save normally.

I've made a backup of my original God of War 2, patch the ISO, and burned into a DVD+R DL, I can play but not load or save, maybe it's a problem of the beta.

I know a person of a Spanish forum and told me that the following games were working perfectly:

- Tomb raider aniversary and legends
- re4
- pes 07 y pes 08
- tekken 4 and 5
- capcom classic collection

I've to test if networking games patched with DNAs works online but I don't have almost any hope.

I'm making the tests with a PS2Two V12.

The games patched with the memento patcher are working normally in my PS2 V3 chipped.

Bye.

[coniglietta]

Now if they could just get that card into Canada...

[DevHooker42000]

so was vast just BS like paradox, or is the memory32 pretty much the same thing just without any software allready on the memory card:confused: the way i see it vast was supposidly a modchip in a memorycard but after the big anti piracy and modchip stuff going on vast seemed to fade away, now if a product comes out and then gets hacked and a exploit is found the said product is not considered a piracy device, in legal terms.....like how u can use a ps2 gameshark/codebreaker/action replay to install the fat ps2 independence exploit:) i personally have gotten bored with my PS3s and i have more fun playing my PS2 with hdloader,

in general i see the vast and memory 32 as only usefull to people with slim PStwos who dont want to take apart the console

[Rob999]

This is real, I know for a fact cause there is enough evidence and info available to know how it works. I feel that some people are a little confused over the whole memory card modchip topic. There are no mod-chips in these memory cards and everything is done by software. Some people may wonder how the vast and memento apps automatically load up when the console is turned on? It all has to do with prebuilt functions already in our ps2's. In the OSDSYS of the ps2 it tells the ps2 to look for a file on the memory when you turn on the ps2. The file that it looks for is "osdmain.elf" and it looks for it in the "BREXEC-SYSTEM" directory on your memory card. If the ps2 finds an elf named "osdmain.elf" in the "BREXEC-SYSTEM" directory, it will load the elf file before it loads the bios. This function is available in all ps2's including fat and slimline version's. This is what the makers of the memory card modchip's use to automatically load the elf file when they turn on the system. But the problem is that if the elf file you place in the "BREXEC-SYSTEM" directory isn't signed, the ps2 will stay at a black screen when you turn the ps2 on. For the elf to be signed, a memory card ID is required and the ps2 will only load the elf file if the memory card ID of the memory card your using is found in the elf. But according to what has been said about memor32, each memor32 card has the same ID. With that being said, only one set of files is required with only one ID to work with any memor32. For this to work with average everyday memorycards you would need to recreate the signing procedure and apply it to the elf of your choice. So what we really have here, is a new way of loading hombrew off of the memory card with out using the PS1 exploit or a modchip. With the use of the OSDSYS functions we can automatically load homebrew when we turn the system on. What the maker's of the memorycard modchips have done, is that they have created new hombrew apps which allow you to use various functions including direct booting of backups (with or without swapping, your choice) and used the OSDSYS functions to load there apps automatically. I believe that alot of coding must be done in order to get this working correctly because the ps2 supposably loads the "osdmain.elf" before it loads the bios. If this is true then it is quite possible that the code in the .elf must instruct the ps2 to load specific parts of the bios. I am unsure about the bios part but the OSDSYS part is something that I know for a fact.

[nitro_]

I have tried 3 different games with this card now and none of them works. :(
I patched all isos before burning them. The result is only a black screen.

[Mordenkainen]

So there is a lot of talk about the card ID and the MG encryption.

I would think the way it was done is even more simple.

MG encryption is simply a portion of the chip inside the memory card. I believe that it is a "feature" that the application/device in question can use at will, but is not always enabled. The majority of data on the card is not MG encypted. An example of this is the PSP, which only works with sticks that support MG, but doesn't use it.

Because of this, the developers of VAST and this tool would have needed to figure out the encryption, or a way to turn it on so the PS2 could do much of the work for them. They would have needed to do this even if they only needed to do it for the one serial number. I'm not thinking this is very likely.

A better way (and the one that makes more sense) is to fake out the encryption. You can do this since the encryption is done in hardware. A while back Datel release a chip named GateCrasher, which IIRC works by informing the PS2 the card supports MG even though it doesn't. It is not a far stretch to say that GateCrasher could be expanded to include responding to encrypt/decrypt requests by ignoring them and just returning a success and the raw data, assuming GateCrasher doesn't already do this.

In this method, the PS2 asks that the data to be loaded be decrypted, so Gatecrasher responds that is was, then passes the raw ELF off the card to the PS2. The PS2 thinks the data was decypted correctly, so must have been properly secured, never knowing the data was never encrypted to begin with. Also, anything that the PS2 would write to the card and ask to be encrypted will be silently written to the card in the raw.

This would require special hardware in the card but would eliminate the guesswork of figuring out the decryption/signature and would ensure that people would not be able to make a free, standalone version. Perhaps not good for those of us that don't want to pay for it, but good for the company. I suspect the common SN is more a red-herring than anything else.

ive been searching for an altarnitive for a memor32 because it is expansive memory card and i my path crossed with this (you can store save games on it and it has an ELF launcher on it and an HEX editor and its cheaper:p)

Is this legit?

[xllzerollx]

Is this legit?

this memory card its already on retailers,
the software for this memorycard is in development, but a beta was released, its only for pal ps2s at the moment.
people already reported the beta working althought not really compatible with buch, but its just a beta to prove its true
so i would believe its true

Do you think i should wait til this becames public rather then modding my pstwo by installing one of those slim fliptops which look deficate.

[coniglietta]

Either have someone install a mod chip for you or wait. I mean seriously you install the flip top and void your warranty any way, you may as well plug in a mod chip. And realize there is no guarantee we will see a final version of this chip, so really you just need to make a choice and go with it.

[xllzerollx]

I would wait for this, its really easy to use, wont void waranty

Anyone know the time span that this will be released?

[Curtis2k8]

Cant you use the usb adapter that connects an original ps2 memory card to ps3
and try to flash the memento files to the original memory card? has anyone tried this method? i am going to buy an adapter and i just want to know so i dont waste my money.

you cant, theres no drivers for it for the pc.

[Curtis2k8]

you cant, theres no drivers for it for the pc.

Well have you tried those drivers memento have on their website? And plus the adapter was avaliable way before the ps3 came out so there most be drivers for it. Their not just going to make an adapter that connects to a pc and not make any drivers for it are they?:confused::confused:

no the ps3- ps2 memory card adapter came out a couple of weeks after the ps3. and sony wont release a PC driver for it.......i would just open the floodgates to Piracy in their eyes as it would be way easyier to install the ps2 independence exploite then......:mad:

Well what about the ems usb2 adapter? that has drivers and i know because i have been on there website.

[pheer]

to reiterrate the question, Does anyone have an estimate on when this will be released?

[Joe Smith]

It's out I ordered one from modchip-store.co.uk for about £33.00. :D

[pheer]

ok yes the memory card is out, now is the file to 'mod' the ps2 out also? if so, please someone tell me where i can find it

[Curtis2k8]

So will the regular ps2 memory card be able to be flashed with the memento software using an EMS Adapter which also came out way before the ps3?

[Cyclone57]

Sounds good but how do you get that bios on a Memcard??
It's a new 32MB memory card that has a USB port.

[Joe Smith]

Hey, I just got 1 of these and have the BETA bios instaled on it.... i read the readme on how to patch games but cant seem to get it to work... anyone got it working? if so can u state in beter detail plz.


thanks, joe

[sandungas]

For the elf to be signed, a memory card ID is required and the ps2 will only load the elf file if the memory card ID of the memory card your using is found in the elf
Then... if this is the only info needed for boot from anyone memory card...

Can we use a "PS2 memory card"<--->PC adapter to obtain this ID, patch the .elf and transfer the patched files to the memory?

This way is possible to be done with a standard sony memory card 8mb?

This kind of adapter could be cheaper

[redjackofspades]

btw the second pal beta of the memento software was released today and they say the ntsc support will be in v1.0 that should come soon.

This kind of adapter could be cheaper

I would assume that the id in the elf and the id on the card are 2 keys in a shared key cypher. Ie: the ps2 uses the memory card's id to run an equation on the elf's key resulting in a has that it can compare to its expected hash and if the hash passes it runs the elf binary.. there are probably several variables including file size.. but if you could collide that hash or use a ps2 update file and change it so it jumps to a memory location on the card that you have your own code stored at you can effectively bypass the protection of a shared key.

This is kind of what was done with dishnetwork and bellexpressvu cards code was put onto the input buffer of the card and a command was set to the card telling it to execute code, then using the timing of the card we were able to spike the ingoing voltage causing a degree of randomness that in most cases ended up in the input buffer which was basically full of a bunch of jump commands that jump to the card unlock portion of the bin. Obviously this does not work the same way but the general idea is there.. modify the original ps2 update elf (it came on memory card at one point I understand) to include a jump to a memory address on the card that you have filled with your own code.

The issue arises in the availability of the shared key, if the key is different for every card you must obtain that key as well as an elf file that contains a key to validate against, so unless you have one of the memory cards with the update on it already ie: placed there by sony, and a little asm experience and a little luck.. Well your better off using the memor 3 solution listed here. Also be aware that the shared key for the memory card I would assume is locked onto a prom that you cannot change which is why the 3rd party hardware.

Sorry if that is a little long winded but this question keeps popping up.

[_Belial]

ANyone had any joy in actually patching any ISO's with this? Tried 3 diff ISO's and all fail. The new windows tool doesnt do a thing, no indication it's working at all. Tried the cmd-line one and get 1 of 2 errors

"Error! Free sectors not empty!"

or

"Error! Backup sectors not empty!"

Any ideas?

[redjackofspades]

there is a fix for the windows patcher. v.9c was released the patcher in .9b only works with win2k not xp or vista. The patcher does create DVDVideo files when successful I've mostly had problems with cd based games. I have an idea on how to fix that. I'll let you know if I figure it out.

[lenselijer]

I've tried pro evo 2008 dvd and it works fine, shows up as dvd video when not using memor32, but with memor32 inserted in slot1 it boots fine :D

Now waiting for ntsc support and hopefully it can work in slot 2 in the future, because i have all my savegames on a sony 8mb memorycard so i would like that one in slot 1.

for the people that get black screen: check if the game you burned is a pal game, ntsc games (SLUS) dont work at the moment! just insert your game into the pc dvd drive and check if your game has a SLUS or SLES file in the root.

[channi3]

hey, i have a messed up ps2 drive (loads games, but sorta lags in gameplay). Can the Memor32 Card load ISO's or DVD's direct from a computer?

[tralalawala]

hey, i have a messed up ps2 drive (loads games, but sorta lags in gameplay). Can the Memor32 Card load ISO's or DVD's direct from a computer?

no. if it's a fat ps2 then you can install a chip that has dev.mode (allows you to run files from mem card) and get a network adapter and install a hd. That way you can run games from the hard drive.

Either that or wait to see if vast comes out..

[TKilgore]

The patcher does create DVDVideo files when successful I've mostly had problems with cd based games. I have an idea on how to fix that. I'll let you know if I figure it out.

There's a tutorial over on the ps2newz forums that I've written up (fyi I am Frankthebunny over on their forums) that allows the booting of CD games utilizing the Memento patch method.

If you or anyone else has any additional questions in regards to this matter, feel free to PM me either on the Maxconsole forums, or if you're a regular over on the PS2newz forums, hit me up there.

Again, let me make it abundantly clear that I will NOT distribute CDDVDGen (read the tutorial to see what I'm talking about, if you don't already know.)

I just tryed it and only slot1 boots. Black screen on slot2.
Maybe in a later firmware.

Does it still function as a memory card aswell? After applying the hacked firmware I mean.

I am making a legit back-up of Prince of Persia The Two Thrones (have it sitting right in front of me) its pal, used DVD decrypter to get an iso, patched the iso, put the v1.2e on my memor32 programming complete, put the memor in the ps2, put the game in, and i get the memento splash screen, then that dissappears and it the screen blinks and then nothing :S

i have tried using the older v1.1 and this time i get no splash screen. I have tried starting the ps2 without a disc in then going to browser and launching it from there (with memento in) but then on both memento versions i get the error something like "this dvd cannot be played due to regional restrictions".

Please help, i really want to get this working!
Left it for about 10 mins and nothing happens, hope there is enough info, ive done quite a bit of reading and have heard of this problem, but not in this much detail, and i think that was when they were trying to use ntsc games in a pal system (btw i have a pal system).

Thanks,
Max

If i remember correctly these cards have a USB port as well :D

Yes, that is true. they have a mini-usb port on the side of the MC. Which is great for transfering save-games and firmwares :D
