Hi peeps , I have HDadvance DVD and CD.

Some of the games I have wont backup (i know theres issues with some) The question I am going to ask is. Can I use HDadvance just to boot up the PS2 then do swap trick to fool PS2 into booting the backup. If so whats the procedure. I have tried many times without succsess although I did do it once but forgot what I did. I have young kids and I always back my games onto copied dvd just incase and my fav game ended up in 3 bits inside my VCR ( I was not happy) hence why I want to boot it up , but it wont copy onto Hard drive.
Any ideas?

You can load the game off the HD to load your backups. Here's a tutorial: http://www.hdadvance.com/hd_advance_how-to-use.htm

No Winhiip is a program you use to transfer games from your PC to your PS2 hard drive. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/245272 Why won't games run off your HD? You mean you can't transfer them or, do you mean you haven't been able to create an iso on your PC? I don't understand what you mean. Be a little more specific about what the problem is.

ok thanks for the great links but when you try clicking on them all you get is an error page. I even tried going directly to the home page but still errors.

4. Q. Is game X compatible with HD Advance or HD Loader?
A. HD Loader: http://list.ps2hd.com/
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/casey.miller/HD%20Loader%20Compatibi...
HD Advance: http://forum.hdadvance.com/hd_advance_compatibility.asp
http://www.ps2nfo.com/ps2hdd.html

24. Q. When I load up my HD Advance/HDloader, it just goes to the PS2 browser menu, what's going on?
A. If your HDloader crashes at the splash screen it is usually due to a HDD that is not compatible with the network adapter or incorrect jumper settings on the HDD.
