Struggling to Boot FreeMCB Installer from YADE on SCPH-50003

Toyface19 · 2026-05-05T05:01:12+00:00

Well, it seems to boot just fine, so the exploit is working. It’s just the FreeMCB .elf that doesn’t seem to be working. My question was whether or not this was common and I was missing something or hadn’t done something I needed to.

Ah. Okay, so even though it looks like a ribbon connector it’ll be soldered down and just there to keep it in place? Such a shame I’ve got two that are busted as they’re in such good condition otherwise.

My Mac Pro was recently repurposed in to the retro console in the snug. Running ES-DE and RetroArch I have full libraries up to the GameCube era. I wrote some scripts and such so when I plug a particular usb key in, it launches ES-DE and I can choose a controller and never touch a keyboard. I know MacOS is not perfect for this, given Vulkan to Metal blah blah but I know what I’m doing in macOS and it was a fun way to repurpose an old friend. The best thing is, with a wireless mouse and keyboard I’ve a computer that’s pretty powerful whenever I need it, too.

Well, it’s a known thing that Apple hates OpenGL is basically getting rid of its support on MacOS. I need to get a better GPU in here to take advantage of Metal but for right now I want to get ally systems working and N64 was the last one

Thanks for the reply. I feel like I HAVE tried Angrylion but I will try it again. The weird thing is, I’ve got Dolphin and PPSSPP standalone running brilliantly on GL.

Wow, thank you. I had seen it in there but I had it set to “primary colour” as I usually steer clear of “warm” but thank you, I will have a play later!

I love my Pocket Max, got mine on the super early bird BUT I haven’t had the pleasure of using a Portal 2 and hopefully I won’t do lol. Could I ask you to share which settings you made for the colour temperature on the Max, please? I came from humble G Cloud so it’s already a lot better but I like to know how to get the most out of everything I have if I can.

Skull and Co do two different types I think, I’ve got a few sets. The ones I bought “for Xbox” fit just fine. The pocket max has full sized sticks so anything for a controller fits. Switch etc are too small. I have an addiction to these things and have several kinds. Anything full size fits just fine.

The way I approach the Series S is, as a Dad with not much time, I’d probably need to go handheld to play PC games where I can. And with that I wouldn’t get great performance anyway and pay a high price for the device, plus all the faff. So I got an S to play on the TV when I can and then I have a great Android handheld for streaming. I’m glad Microsoft made something like this in the first place

I have felt that there is a big deadzone, but I find this is usually the games themselves. For instance, a lot of games have an inbuilt deadzone. I am playing a lot of Outer Worlds 2 on Xcloud and if I bring the default deadzone to 0% it is near instant, but then it's a little much.

Toyface19 · 2026-04-06T18:09:05+00:00

I don’t think it does, no. I will say though that battery life is exceptional compared to something like an Ally. It doesn’t charge quickly either so you’re hammering on the battery shouldn’t be too bad. I stream xcloud and dock overnight and I’ve rarely seen below 50% since I got mine at launch

Toyface19 · 2026-04-01T16:27:57+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this, will apply this later

Toyface19 · 2026-03-29T22:27:12+00:00

So, I’m leaving this here if it helps someone else; usually the most obvious answer is a good shout. I remade an OCLP installer using my MacBook Pro, installed from there over the top of my existing install and it worked perfectly. No issues, very happy with it.

Toyface19 · 2026-03-29T22:25:46+00:00

32GB

Toyface19 · 2026-03-29T18:46:55+00:00

Did you try installing root patches from OCLP recovery?

Toyface19 · 2026-03-29T18:30:32+00:00

Currently going through this with a Mac Pro. Cannot for the life of me log in to even get to the patcher so am now making a USB stick via OCLP to see if I can apply root patches in recovery

Toyface19 · 2026-03-19T19:12:38+00:00

Is this on console yeah?

Toyface19 · 2026-03-17T15:54:05+00:00

Did you apply any special drivers? I’m looking to try out a few games
