well it's dead easy to copy games on to the hd. do you have a HDAdvance or HDloader. all you do is put the hd into the ps2 using the network adaptor turn it on and put in the HDAdvance/HDloader disk and follow the instructions. that simple. the biggest games register as 4gb and only take about 25mins to transfer to the hd.

you need to use a program called CDgenPS2 to burn the image properly, or you could just download a preconfigured image, im sure there out there.

When you put a computer formatted hdd into the ps2, and boot HDloader/HDadvance, it recognises it as a computer formatted drive. it then formats it to be used on the ps2. THEN you uses hdl_dumb to transfer the game over your network. when you boot up HD Loader, then you can click on the game to boot. I recommend using the MC Exploit and LaunchELF to run HDloader.

And btw, the MC Exploit is a METHOD of booting. Its not something you can download.

dude, if you have a mod chip then why are you trying to use the exploit? the exploit is an ALTERNATIVE to the mod chip.

just boot a burned copy of HDadvance, its no different then the exploit, cept the exploit (from the sound of it) is not needed. instead of putting the ps1 game in the drive, just put the burned HDadvance disk in the drive.

Sirandyb, I have a Seagate and it works fine with HD Advance 2.0

Unless you have the official Sony HDD, your PS2 won't show your HD in the browser. You have to use HD Advance/HD Loader to see your HD.

And ... for the memory card exploit, you have to boot a PS1 disc ... so it really doesn't matter ... you are have to boot a CD/DVD anyhow ...



Big Will - 39001 PS2 (NTSC), HD Advance 2.0, Seagate Barracuda 300GB and v.2 Xbox 360 ... sweet, baby!
