I hate to break it for you, but FreeDVDBoot hasn't seen any updates since 2020 and it's safe to say that the project was abandoned :(

The FreeDVDBoot (FDVDB) hack is more hit or miss than FreeMCBoot (FMCB). It all depends on your version information. I used it to install FMCB onto a memory card.
how?

Personally, I use a memory card with FreePSXBoot installed, though you will of course need a way to get FreePSXBoot onto the memory card in the first place (I used a PS2 and FreeDVDBoot).
Guys I’m trying to make my ps2 work, I thought the modchip was wrong be it doesn’t show the matrix logo, but it actually runs backups discs and originals, but the CIRCLE+ TRIANGLE doesn’t work, what can I do? I want to use OPL ( the chip firmware is 1.35v)

Do the PS2 versions work on PS3?
1 project | /r/Slycooper | 10 Dec 2023

Idk what you might be doing wrong, and I'm not in the tutorial business, but I highly recommend giving the latest version of PCSX2 and a random YouTube tutorial another shot, it's gonna be a lot easier than jailbreaking your PS3. Either way good luck have fun.
