note: NONE of the methods described here will work for a SCPH-10000 or SCPH-15000 PS2 Console.
but you will be able to use the harddrive in one of these 2 consoles, after you installed it on a SCPH-30000+ console, but you also need to have the memory card updated already installed. but keep in mind, online software like Final Fantasy 11, Nobunaga no Yabou Online or other PS-BBN download software might not work then.

installing the hdd-osd to any non JAP/US ps2:

note:this will work with either SONY-HDD's, or standart PC-HDD's if you have a modchip with
ATAD patching.

1. extract hackchips bb-navigator disc.

2. burn that iso to DVD.

3. check that ule's "disc control" function is turned on, put in a original DVD game and do a swap trick to change it with the hackchip bb-navigator disc.

4. go to the root of the dvd with the ule filebrowser.

5. execute the "HD_UTILI.ELF", when the elf is loaded, click on install hdd-software.

6. extract the "ps2_mbr_installer" and put it on a usb drive, copy the "mbr 032" from the "already_patched_PSBBN_FILES.rar" into the same folder, rename it to "MBR.KELF",
plug the usb drive in your ps2, boot up ule, and bootup "FIXMBR.elf" from the usb drive, it will install the patched mbr.

7. after that is done, start up the "hacked-ule"
go to filebrowser and copy the hosdsys.elf from the "already patched_HOSDSYS_FILE.rar" to "__system/osd100"

8. pull out the fmcb memory card (if you have one) restart your ps2 and the HDD should appear in the browser.

Alternate: but if you do not have a SONY-HDD or ATAD-PAtching modchip, but you still want
to use the hdd-osd to launch homebrew but keep in mind games with hdd support wont work
with this, like ffxi, they still need a original sony-hdd or a atad -patching modchip, then
use the following here, a readme file for propper use is included:

installing the bb-navigator to any non JAP ps2:

note: i have been told from l_oliviera that PSBBN will not work with ATAD patching modchips, you need a SONY-HDD for it to work.
i cant verify that because i use a SONY-HDD, and don't have a modchip.


1. extract hackchips bb_navigator disc.

2. burn that iso to DVD.

3. check that ule's "disc control" function is turned on, put in a original DVD game and do a swap trick to change it with the hackchip bb-navigator disc.

4. go to the root of the dvd with the ule filebrowser.

5. execute the "BBNAV_NT.ELF" or "BBNAV_PA.ELF", when the elf is loaded, click on the third entry "PlayStationBB Navigator(no insuto-ru)" to install.
note: it will require you to have ~14GB of free space on your hdd.

6. extract the "ps2_mbr_installer" and put it on a usb drive, copy the "mbr" from the "already_patched_HOSDSYS_FILES_US.rar" into the same folder, rename it to "MBR.KELF",
plug it in your ps2, boot up ule, and bootup "FIXMBR.elf" from the usb drive, it will install the patched mbr.

7. after that is done, start up the "hacked-ule"
go to filebrowser and copy the "osdboot.elf" from the "already patched_PSBBN_FILES.rar" to "__system/p2lboot"

8. pull out the fmcb memory card (if you have one) restart your ps2 and it should boot directly into PSBBN, and have fun exploring the last PSBBN channel left "Koei Tecmo Games".
