Running Ps2 Games Off Hd

[INASNT]

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.

sweet.

Can i send you a 200gig hd for you to fill up?

[funkymonkey]

if you don't mind waiting 4 months for me to get around to doing it.

[INASNT]

I know ur slow doing stuff but 4 months??

Cant u just ghost the HD u use?

[funkymonkey]

yeah I guess I could... process takes 20 mins. 4 months for me to get off my arse and do it.

You can buy a USB HDD caddy but make sure its not a cheap shitty one. I bought a cheap nasty one and every hdd i used on it that had partitions, was ruined. (had to be re formated)

If you can find a good one, it saves you the hasle of opening up your oc all the time.

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

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

[inark]
