ok I recently bought my ps2 about 2 weeks ago, I have not been around since swap magic 2.0
I heard friends telling me to use a hd method which he uses. I have a pc I dont use with a 80gig hd that I am going to use. The computer has motherboard issues so I already tried test fitting the hd and it fits. Problem is, is there any way without buying additional software such as hd advance to make it work?
I have nothing but a v10 ps2, breaker pro(enables ps1 backups and imports), and a slide card. No swap magic because I sold it long time ago.
Can anyone explain me what I exactly need to do without buying anything else such as swap magic, hd advance, modchip, codebreaker.
If its possible please let me know, I have searched and searched countless hours and have found info about needing a boot device such as codebreaker or swap magic to get the memory card exploit which is supposedly required to use a backed up version of hd loader. Please pros, help me, I was once a pro 2 years ago when I was modding my systems such as xboxs and ps2s but everything changes, however, I am a faster learner and become a pro again.

Since you were a pro once, you should be able to figure it out. A burnt copy of hd loader is just like a burnt copy of a game, it will not work without a mod. You could try loading a burnt copy of hd loader with breaker pro (probably won't work, but its worth a shot). You need to have some sort of boot disc to get the memory card exploit to work (swap magic, code breaker, older gameshark, etc).

i highly doubt breaker pro would work since it is for ps1 games. But who knows without trying, I guess I could just buy that disk. I was a pro back in the days.

BTW you have an ugly eclipse =) 3g models sucked, it was the 2g awd models that were awesome belive me.

Breaker pro is for ps1 games and ps2 dvd rips (you might still need swap magic to do a toc refresh though), which is why i mentioned it.
