|
 |
I was reading up on the HDAdvance hard drive solution and I came upon this at the official site:
| www.hdadvance.com wrote: | | HDAdvance is the latest technology for PS2 to store and load game from HDD. Other than converting original game discs to HDD, HDAdvance also supports converting Backup/Import Game discs to HDD. 2 discs(CD+DVD) are included in the package. The CD version is used for converting CD Backups/Imports while DVD version is used for converting DVD Backups/Imports |
While I'm sure that it's a long shot, do you require a mod chip to use this software? If you do, I think that the site is a little misleading for not mentioning the requirement.

you only need a chip or swap magic discs if you are using a pirate version i believe
I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

should work fine i think.
swapmagic works fine without a modchip, so why should the included disks be any different.
they probably included swapmagic (sounds like it, anyway) to be able to convert backups.

You can install games onto the hdd via the PC, thats what I do, installing takes around 5 mins for a bigger dvd game. You dont need a boot thing to boot it, it boots just the same way action replay does

Yes thats one way of doing it.
I take out the hdd from ps2 and connect it as slave on my pc
then i use WinHIIP to install games to the ps2 drive, you do that
in windows when you use WinHIIP.

I have a spare IDE connection, got a PCI IDE card. I just stick in and boot win xp. The OS wont detect the HDD but the program WinHIP does. The HD Loader, HD Advance will boot up on a none modded ps2 with no extra things to do if the region is correct.
I have a dms3 chip so I have put a reduced HD loader prog on my memory card and I boot hd loader of my mem card : )
I think HD Advance is just HD loader with a bigger TOC.

I have never tried that way but like Steve-O says you have to install
a ftp on your ps2 drive and then i belive you should use something
like HDL_Dump to connect and transfer files to the ps2, but i'm not
100% sure as i just started to use hdd on my ps2 and the only thing
i have tried is WinHIIP.
http://www.ps2-scene.org is a great place for info about tools and how
to use them for ps2.
