All these games stutter on intros and music. Is the problem because I need to wait for my separate power supply? Or any other reasons these games stutter when playing from HDD.
Sorry for being a total noob.
All the files I am using:
Open PS2 Loader v0.7 (wont load anything from HDD)
USB Advance (Using this as it's the only app that loads my games)
USBUtil v2.00 to rip my discs and transfer to HDD.
You don't have to have an external power supply. As Igmutaka said, the ps2 gives it power. However, when you don't use the power supply, the game lags and glitches. I would reccomend getting the external power supply. And also, the slim does have usb 2.0.
You are better off using a power supply for the hard drive so it can run at full power with out worry about damaging your ps2's usb ports. Usb ports only give out about 5v of power and is made for small devices(flash drives, mice, wireless adapters), not constantly spinning a hard drive motor. That's why most of the good drives come with a power supply( http://www.buzzle.com/articles/powered-usb-hub-vs-unpowered.html )
The PS2 usb ports are only 1.1 whether it is a fat ps2 or a slim ( http://www.console-exploits.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1218 )
