As i mentioned in the topic, my ps2 is dying.
The laser seems to have gotten bad and there are serious lag/glitching when i play my ps2 games, which is really frustrating during FMV's or games where there is alot of music.
This really frustrates me, i just thought it could be a bad burn or something, but then i re-tried with original games and some of my older backups, the same issue.
Now i dont really intend to invest in a new ps2, my wallet cant really afford the suffering. Then i really started thinking about it this morning, and it hit me.
"What about those hard drive things ive read about...".
I mean, since the games play via the HD they wont suffer as much lag or glitching(or at least less then my glitchy laser
So ive been browing this forum spending nearly 3 hours reading the topics over and over and over and over *gah*.
Its gotten me insanely tired.
From what i understand you need the following:
A ps2
A Network Adapter for the ps2(Orig.)
An HD
A copy of HDloader/HDA (HD Loader seems to be more popular...)
Now i understand from a few tutorials and posts how to install it.
But my problem isnt the install, its the part of getting the games inside the HD.
There seems to be an option to insert the actual ps2 game and let the HD software download into the disk, this option is unavailable for me because my laser is bad and im pretty sure that i would get bad data on the rips.
And then i stumbled upon this WinHip software. That lets you drag and drop the games of your choice to the HD and later on insert into the ps2 again.
Now this is probably the most suited for me, but its a real hassle.
And i was wondering, could you do this with an USB 2.0 Enclosure?
Just take the HD out of the ps2, bump the HD into the enclosure, connect the enclosure to the PC, send the files, disconnect the closure, insert the HD to the ps2.
Has anyone tried this option?
Ps. I have a modchip installed on my ps2, which i forgot to mention
