The v70 Link is a beautiful fossil—a reminder of a time when networking two consoles was considered "high tech hacking." Today, we honor its memory by using FreeMcBoot, which does the same job without the screaming, the tangled wires, or the dead servers.

If you have a dusty Pentium 4 machine running Windows XP in your basement, dig it out. If you only have a modern gaming rig, stick to USB booting with OpenPS2Loader (OPL) and use cheat files via SMB. The v70 Link is a brilliant, beautiful relic—but it demands respect for its age.
