Ok I ready a few threads about using a hdd connected to the ps2 network adapter using a program like HD Advance.

What I am unsure about is that can I replug in the hdd into my pc and simply copy new game 'backups' off the net on the hdd and then replug into the ps2 without any other stuffing around or do the games need to be ripped from the a ps2 dvd to the hdd to work??

Shan I will have to send you over a 200GIG for some of your backups I think :)

Yes you can. Use a program like WinHIIP 7.1 or 7.2 I think. Also if you run an FTP server on your PS2, you can actually hook up the PS2 to your PC via ethernet cable and install your games that way, instead of undoing your PC and PS2 every time you need to copy stuff.

i've got a hotswap bay in my PC, so that's not a problem. To ghost the drives I'd have to connect em both up.

The problem is more to do with motivation to actually do it than the method :)

isent each game around 2-3 gig?

yup... but some are 4GB

i get addicted to one game... play it solid for a while.. then get new games and leave the other ones... so im in the middle of playing about 40 games each is only about 60% finished tho

denham do u have the parts? ie. a spare mem card and a network adaptor??

if u do come around and bring an original PSone game and i'll do it for u in about 5 minutes like i did my mates the other day

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
