It's me again....well, I been doing my homework lately and so far what I think I need are the following to play PS2 games on your HDD (and I do have the original games):

1.compatible HDD
2.HDadvence
3.some kind of chip

I only want to back up my games so I don't have to carry them with me because I really move my PS2 around and take it to my friends house.

PS
I have an XBOX also and I was wondering if I could burn Halo into a DVD and play it on my PS2.


Thanx to anyone that replys.

you have 2 options:

1. just buy hd loader and a hd, and put your original games on the hd

2. Buy a modchip and be able to play burnt games (including a burnt copy of hd loader).

Also, there is no way to play xbox games on the ps2 (and probably never will be a way).

Here is a link with backup info (not updated for the slim ps2's): http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/15105




V9 PS2, flip top, SMD, DVDLoader
Pioneer 107, ritek g05
DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, Nero

Do you think that when the 360 comes out.. it will have the capability to play PS2 games?

Hope 360 can be figured out soon :P

FlyingCow,
The system Im looking at requires-
_________________________________________________________
Sony PS2 Network Adaptor (ethernet or ethernet/broadband)

Maxtor HDD 40-200GB (Possibly 300GB)

HDLoader / HDAdvance 2.0 or 3.0
_________________________________________________________

You will never need to carry any games at all, just the boot disks.
Hopefully this helps!

FlyingCow you forgot the ethernet adapter on that list, which is needed to connect the HD to the PS2. So you need:

1. compatible HDD
2. HDAdvance OR HDLoader (hdloader is free)
3. some kind of chip
4. PS2 ethernet adapter

As for a modchip, I'd recommend a DMS4 EZI Pro (not lite). You can flash HDD support onto the chip itself and boot games off your HDD without requiring a boot disk.
