jim u fool, read my post properly, u have to use the corrisponding disc for when u want to copy a previously backup up disc (that means a game u have copied on to a blank dvd or cd) to the harddrive
Does anyone know if i buy the HD Advance 2.0 NTSC and i ftp pal version's of games onto my hard drive, can I still play the pal's????
Does HD Advance 2.0 support Dual Layered discs yet? I have a copy of Champions of Norrath and Xenosaga, and up till now I've never heard of anything that works with them without http'ing into the PS2. I have Loader, and it works like ass. Thanks! Dual Layer on HD Advance 2.0? Thanks.
does any one know if you have to have the network adapter startup disc (or if a network adapter is needed) to use a network adapter on your ps2 with the hard drive? - and if you do is there such thing as a PAL Ver. of it? because I cant find it anywhere - appreciate any help thanx...
No, you do not need the startup disc for the network adapter to use the harddrive. In fact, all the drivers and software you need to use the harddrive on the PS2 with copied games is on the disc copiers themselves. To review, all you need is HD Advance and the hardware. No network startup disc required, not will you ever use it unless you plan to go online...
HD Loader or HD Advance 2.0 Is there a free way or program that does the same if so could you point me in that direction so i could download it and read a tutorial on how to do so. Or should i just get HD Loader or HD Advance 2.0 I do have a 200gig and network adaptor. How should i formate the hdd its new out of the box. Thanks bphillips
so what does the ps2 do when you turn it on when a network adapter and hard-drive is attatched? -does it go strait to a different screen to do with the harddrive and network adapter? -do you have to have the hd advance cd or dvd in or does it load startup information strait from the hard-drive itself? sorry about all the questions!
I have a Seagate 300gb HD and HDAdvance 2.0 works perfect and sees 276GB. I dunno how many games that translates into, but ... I was able to get like 8-9 games on my official 40gb Sony HDD.
bhphillips, I would recommend buying the program. The HDAdvance 2.0 CDs and DVDs are pressed crazy and you can't rip or dupe them. It's only like $30 shipped ... bought my copy from consolepoint. It's worth it ... Get the biggest HD you can afford. I have a 300gb and that's a lot of space.
ok, i admit im new to the hd-ps2 thing i dont know too much about but i read some forums and i think im ok on it i have a western digital 160g hd. And i ordered and am waiting for hd advance v2. and a v7 non-modded ps2. i have some questions, 1)how do i hook the hd to the ps2 (usb or network adapter ?) 2)do i need to put the originals on my computer first and then transfer to the ps2 3)what do i need that i dont have already ? thanks any help apprec sorry about the long post
1)how do i hook the hd to the ps2 You will need a hd, (you have this), a newer network adapter (to power the hd) and a copy of HDAdvance 2/HDLoader. (On the way ...) You will have to unscrew the screws on the back of the network adapter, and hook the HD to the adapter. It should be set to MASTER on the HD. Afterward, put HD into older PS2 (not slimmy) and fire it up. You should also put the copy of HDA into the PS2 and it will automatically format the HD. The only bad thing is ... you can d/l SOCOM maps AND you can't download saves to your HD, unless it's a Sony. 2)do i need to put the originals on my computer first and then transfer to the ps2 No. You have to put the HDA disc into the PS2's tray and it will have a list of different commands on your right. You have to hit 'convert' to convert games. Then, it will ask what you want to call it and it should start. Be forewarned - there is a glitch of some type that affects the disc sometimes ... telling you there's not enough room to convert. I got that message and I had only ripped 1 GAME! I had 272gb of space left! And ... be careful on ripping DVD-Dual 9 games. They WILL NOT WORK. 3)what do i need that i dont have already? Your copy of HDAdvance. Hope all this helps.
ok one more question do i have to format the hard drive somehow, or does the hdadvance do that itself? if i do im not sure how to do it
Hey will this hard drive work with a ps2 version 4 and hd advance....it's not posted on the hdadvance compatibility website, but it's cheaper than the Maxtor DiamondMax 9 6Y200P0. I'll post both for easy comparison.
