    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?

    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.

    Works fine in my browser. Might be some Malware on yours.

    4. Q. Is game X compatible with HD Advance or HD Loader?
    A. HD Loader: http://list.ps2hd.com/

    HD Advance: http://forum.hdadvance.com/hd_advance_compatibility.asp

    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.
