Did you know: nowadays you can actually run copies of games on any slimline PS2, even completely unmodded ones, without doing any sort of modifications to your console!

All you need is:
- A game/software ISO of your choice
- This patching tool: https://github.com/edo9300/esr-disc-patcher-cli (compiles cross-platform)
- This archive: https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9737 (contains data files and an example batch script on how to use the tool, plus a pre-built binary of unknown legitimacy)
- A *slimline* PS2

This lets you basically 'prefix' any existing ISO with the FreeDVDBoot exploit (explained here: https://cturt.github.io/freedvdboot.html), and so after burning it to DVD, any unmodded console boots straight into the game/software via a DVD player exploit.
