Can someone clear this up as I want to store avi and other movie files on an external hard drive because im sick all of these discs. I do not want to play games on it or anything. I have an older playstation. one of the first couple versions that appears to have two usb ports int he front.

My questions are:
1. Do just connect the hard drive to the ps2 and thats it I have a seagate that was mentioned as being compatible??
3. Do I have to format this drive somehow?
2. If this is right then how do i scroll to select a particular movie on the hard drive from the ps2? Will it show titles like the computer?
3. I read something about a network adaptor but do i actually need this?
4. How do i place files on this from the PC or from the ps2?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions. Im new to this

My questions are:
1. Do just connect the hard drive to the ps2 and thats it I have a seagate that was mentioned as being compatible?? FIrst it dependes on what type of HDD you have.
3. Do I have to format this drive somehow? Not really.
2. If this is right then how do i scroll to select a particular movie on the hard drive from the ps2? Will it show titles like the computer? You need a PS2 media player which you can find in SKSAPPS.COM
3. I read something about a network adaptor but do i actually need this? Only if you use an IDE HDD.
4. How do i place files on this from the PC or from the ps2? There are many ways, FTP, connecting the HDD to the PC, copying it etc.

Which hard drive would you suggest. I have a seagate now but was looking to get a western digital

Only if IDE HDD. Im not sure what that means

You need a PS2 media player which you can find in SKSAPPS.COM so pick anyone from http://www.sksapps.com/index.php?page=media.html ?

I believe I have a USB hard drive. COnnects to the wall and to the USB jack of my laptop currently.

Thanks,

Ash

I do NOT suggest the PS2 Media Player. I use SMS Version 2.3 R1 and it is fantastic, I highly recommend it. It also has network support, so you don't need to mess around with putting your movies on your ps2's hdd. You can simply stream the movies from your PC over your home network.

Well you got to have a way to launch the file such as uLaunchELF an exploit.

You need a way of loading PS2 programs. If you already have an exploit/swap magic/modchip your set. If not, you have to get one of these things. (Swap Magic recomended)
