yes i would like to play it online but im not considering burning it to the hdd with usbadvance and that stuff just wondering if it would install to the usb hdd like a fat ps2 would with the reguler ps2 hdd.
no. the final fantasy xi bundle came with proprietary hdd firmware, and only the official sony hdd can run FFXI. also, you cannot play online games from a hdd; it will fail the DNAS test.
a external usb hdd won't be recognized by the ps2, unless you use usbadvanced. so if you want to play FFXI, you need a fat ps2, network adapter, official 40gig hdd, and original FFXI.
