Hey guys, I am new to the whole Softmodding/Hardmodding thing. I am wondering if I want to soft mod my ps2(fat one) do i need to have an actual harddrive?

I want to just play burned video games, how do I go about doing so?

No you don't need a hdd to softmod the FAT PS2.

YOu do need a way to load an exploit though, like a cheat disk and an Original PS1 disk

If i wanted to, could I use my Western Digital external hardrive to play games and would using this be better than playing burned video games?

And what is the easiest and cheapest way to softmod a ps2?

Also, If i am going to soft mod my ps2, in order to play burned games, do i have to do a swap method?

Do some searching on free mcboot and esr. Lots of info in this forum. The cheapest way to install this softmod is to have someone else install fmcb 1.8 for you.

There are people over at psx-scene forums that will do it for the cost of postage to them and back to you.
If you want to pay them something, its up too you.

I wouldn't use the Western Digital because in order to use it, you need to modify the Network Adapter.

Although playing games off the hdd is the way to go, saves on discs etc
Holds a lot of games.

There are many ways to install fmcb 1.8, you can look them over if you wish

Or if you have an Original "Agent under fire" or similar games that have lots of ELF files on them, and turn them into a BOOT disk to install fmcb
