[XCSSA] Free McBoot and HDLoader

Thanks to Bruce's advice and help after the November meeting I was finally able to 
create my own "magic card" for my PS2 (aka Free McBoot). I also have the 
elusive HDLoader installed with it.

I had to use the CodeBreaker method of installation since the Action Replay Max Evo (with 
Media Player) is virtually impossible to find (there's a story behind that particular 
cheat disc). It should be noted that the Action Replay Max Evo (with Media Player) is the 
easiest method of installing Free McBoot with the CodeBreaker method the second easiest.

I would later obtain a 160GB Seagate HD and have now installed 42 games onto it (one 
game, Half-Life, I can't get to work - probably the only game I have that won't).

I was thinking, since the next meeting is coming up, is to do a demo on installing Free 
McBoot onto a PS2 Memory Card. If anybody is interested on playing around with Free 
McBoot I can install it for you as part of the demonstration (preferably a blank card - 
I'll bring one of my own just in case nobody brings one).

I'll also bring both my PS2 "Fatty" with the HD and my PS2 Slim. The PS2 Slim 
will be used for the install because the laser in my PS2 "Fatty" is circling 
the drain (I need to find a new laser for a Version 4 PS2 Motherboard).

After the installation demonstration I plan to show a short demo of games on HDLoader.

Any comments?
