Ok, my brain is hurting with all the info I have been reading. I know it maybe somewhere is this forum but I cant find the info on it. Correct me if I am wrong. To back up a orignal PS2 game to a PS2 drive, all I do is copy it to the drive and it will play w/o the disc? Please help or direct me to the thread. Thank yall!

You need either HD Loader or HD Advance to play games backed up to your HDD.



PS2 - v8
Mod - Magic V
Burner - CenDyne (Pioneer) DVR-A05
Media - Anything Cheap

Gamecube w/Broadband Adapter

also you need to use WinHIIP or a similar program to format the hard drive and then copy the games to the drive (assuming you are copying from PC to PS2 drive)

Oh ok, thats what I thought, I just wanted to make sure. Oh one more thing, I'm guessing that the HD Loader Disc has to be original pressed copy right?

you should have spent all your money on the games, games aren't free for a reason

With the HD Loader, do I need swap magic to play my back-up off my hard drive.May be a dumb question but I bought the flip top cover and installed it, all I got was scratching noise, so I put my old cover back on.

if you have an original pressed copy of hd loader there is no need for a flip top and swap magic...but if you are trying to boot a burned copy you need swap magic and a cd loader.

ps. this questions been asked about 50 times on these forums...use the search function
