i have been looking at these to thing for my ps2 and want to know which one would be the best and easiest to install? Would it be worth it to get the HDD to save your games on it?

I forgot to tell you this, I have V9 and have a network adapter, but I can not plug in a ethernet cord in the network adapter because my ps2 is in my basement not near my computer.

Um, the hard drive is nice I suppose, you don't need a computer. You will need the HDloader program though.

If you got the network adapter, and a spare hard drive, then thats the way to go.

But the swap magic is also cheap and fairly easy to use.

i forgot i had a extra hard drive and it is compatable with my ps2. I dont have any cables to hook the hard drive to my computer so how do i transfer stuff from my computer to my ps2 by making a lan line with my ps2 network adapter, if that makes sense.

hdloader is like 30 bucks or so

www.modchip.com for example

You do not need a comptuer to transfer stuff to the hard drive. Instead, you use hdloader in conjunction with the ps2 to transfer the game image to the hd.

o ok. I figured out that if you needed to you would use a ethernet cross over cable.

that is correct, however I am unsure if you can connect the computer straight up to the ps2 for file moving purposes.

No you don't have to, but you can if you are so inclined to, at least I think that is how it works.

Best to find an actual HD loader user on this forum and get clarification.
