I didn't know that there was this option that you demonstrated. Precisely why I always formatted my memory card using the Action Replay option :)
Thank you for sharing this information.

I format my memory card using the Action Replay inserted in the parallel port. It detects as not formatted in the memory card options so just format it and that's it.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Is following the method I illustrated not working for you (simply formatting the MC from within FreePSXBoot once it's loaded, without using any other device - like an Action Replay)?

@VRtinker
What model is your PS2
And formatting is a new feature of 8.0F:
"- Can now properly delete (format) FreePSXBoot cards"

The PS2 I've been using is a 77001. I have a few 70012s and a number of different phat models, but I haven't involved those in any of these shenanigans.
I figured formatting was added in 8.0.F (as I've shown in the screenshots it was missing in 8.0.E), but was wondering why the images based on 8.0.F are all causing issues on PS2 that are not occurring with the 8.0.E based one. Again, pure curiosity.

We changed the address that's overwritten by the exploit. Assuming the same lack of boundary check is present in the PS2 and/or MCA, then some value is changed somewhere in memory when reading the card with MCA. Maybe the previous overwritten value was meaningless (like some graphical stuff), and the new one is some code or pointer that triggers a crash.

Thanks for your answer, that's interesting to know. I guess it won't be investigated or "fixed" because who cares, right? :-)
So may I ask why are you not adding to the readme the aforementioned method to format the memory card? Is there some underlying issue in formatting the MC this way that I should be aware of that makes you want to keep it under wraps? I see YT videos are popping up suggesting to burn CD utilities to achieve the same, and I can't help but thinking that's a waste (even if a CD-R is like $0.20!)

I used The Unirom Boot disc to format MC, in the option for installing FreePSXboot the last image is a formatted image.
