Hey guys, I need some help. I have been through about a hundred pages of threads and I have found loads of info on copying games, but I am just getting started and need some info. I want to get a wide version PS2 for my 7 year old son and add a hdd w/ a network adapter. I have a few questions that I have not been able to find specific answers to elsewhere. First of all, should I be looking for a specific version of the wide models or will any do. Second, do you recommend sticking with the Sony brand hdd made for PS2 or any of the other makes (with more drive space) that I can find by looking on the compatability charts within these pages. And, lastly if I add the network adapter and hdd will I still need a mod chip and/or one of the disc swapping tools or will I be able to copy games using DVD Decrypter onto the HDD and also play them form there. What sofware will I need besides DVD Decrypter and HD Advance. I really appreciate any help that you can give me.
