Hey. I have a few PS2 backups on my computer's hard drive I've been dying to play.. and I even have a network adapter and hard drive. But every guide I read requires something you've gotta buy - HDLoader, Swap Magic, etc! Sadly, I'm broke. Well... I have 10 bucks. But thats not gonna get me far. I have a DVD and CD burner, and I actually wanted to run my backups by burning them onto a DVD, or possibly loading em straight onto the HD. Anyway, is there any way I can run these backups - or do I have to spend money?

If theres no possible way to not spend money, whats the cheapest solution?

Thanks for any help.

If you don't have a modchip or some other exploit, then no, you won't be able to run HD Loader.

But aren't there free exploits? Like I've heard of a "memory card" exploit.

There are, but I believe you still have to buy some stuff. You'd have to read the tutorials to find out.
