Quote:WinHIIP is for putting games on the hard drive plugged directly into your PC or you can send games to the PS2 if it has a hard drive (and you have a 2 way USB cable or network setup).

ok, im really interested in this statement, especially the second part. b/c i have a laptop and i was considering using a 2 way usb cable (is there a particular type i need) to transfer games from my laptop to my ps2 hard drive. im guessing that i would use wihiip to transfer the iso from my laptop to my ps2 hard drive. if anyone could give me step by step instructions, i would REALLY appreciate it!!!!!
my ps2 specs:
120 gig maxtor hard drive
network adaptor

I found steps the other day on the HDAvanced web that will allow one to connect the PS2 to the PC using a cat 5 cross-over cable. I am not sure about HDA ver2, but I have the newest version HSA 3.0. and have transfered from PC to PS2.
Here is a shortened version of what I found:
Transferring .ISO file from computer to PS2 HDD:
* Download the HDAdvance Dump program.(http://www.hdadvance.com/hda_srv.zip)
* Connect PS2 to computer via cross-over cat 5 cable.
* 'Press and hold' any key on JoyPad1 and then boot HDAdvance 3.0 on PS2. HDAdvance Server mode will be launched automatically.
* follow the steps below to assign a IP address to your computer so as to make the connection between PS2 and Computer successful.
1) Click "Start" --> "Control Panel" --> "Network Connections"
2) Right Click "Local Area Networks" --> "Properties"
3) Double Click "Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)"
4) Click the "Use the following IP address" option
5) In the IP Address text box, please type: 192.168.1.111
6) In the Subnet Mask text box, please type: 255.255.255.0
7) Leave the Default Gateway blank
8) Click "OK" to confirm the setting.
Launch the HDAdvance Dump program:
1) Leave "Networking server, at" set to 192.168.1.110
2) Click the "Attach" button to connect to the PS2
3) If the connection works, "Disk Space" will show the HDD volume and free space
4) In the section, Operation" on the PS2, choose "Install games" to the PS2.
5) To transfer DVD-9 (yes, HDa3 works with DVD-9 now!), select "ISO file" under the Source section, and browse to the ISO file to be transfered. Select "DVD-ROM" in the drop-down box.
6) If you do not have an ISO file, "Optical drive" will let you convert DVD/CD games from the computer's DVD-ROM/CD-Rom directly. Just select the Type from the drop-down list.
7.) After you locate the ISO file, you will see information in the "Game" section. Here you can rename the game file in the "Name" box, but don't change anything in the "Startup" box.
8.) Click the "Install" button to start the trasfer.
