Will i finally got off my ass and got my shit together for the ps2 modchip, so i through i give an update for another people wanting to do the same.

Basicly, i choose the option of getting a HDD (hard-drive) in my ps2 and not spending the money on a modchip itself.

So here what you need

1.HDD (there is a online which tells you the ones which will fit) I got a 120gig one

2. Buy Network adap. (so u can plug the hdd into the ps2)

3. Buy HD-Loader

Now you just plug the hdd into the network adap, then plug that into the ps2 boot up the hd-loader cd. and there u go, u can go out and rent games and just copy them straight to the hdd (got a 2gig game it took less than 15mins) or else u can hook the Hdd upto the pc and load the games on that way.

more detail post:

MAIN POINT: YOU DONT NEED ANY FORM OF MODCHIPS!!!

Cost:

1. Hdd (must be a hdd of this list http://ps2drives.x-pec.com/ ) price range from $80 - $200

2.Ps2 Network adaptor Price $60

3. HD-Loader (doesnt matter what copy can be hdloader1/2 or advance) cost $80 (contact killer-t to buy local or else find on websites)

INSTALLION:

1. Connect HDD to network adaptor

2. Plug network adaptor into ps2

3. turn ps2 on and load HD-LOADER cd

4. 1st time running the HD-Loader it will ask you to format the hdd so that it will be in the ps2 setup

5.You now can install games buy clicking install (it is easy as putting in the game and copying it)

Option Method: You can connect the HHD to your pc (You MUST do step 4 1st) Then you must dl (or contact me for the programs) the programs that copy the games to your hdd.

Program to copy games from pc to hdd: hdl_dumb, PS2 HD Handiness

Now this program allow you to us files such as bin/cue/iso etc, so if you have dl the game you dont have to burn it to a cd to copy it to the hdd.

For games which work with the Hd-loader and ps2 hdd: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/casey.miller/...mpatibility.htm

note: mode means when you select the game in Hdloader you press select and you can pick which mode to run the game in (3types) for example WRC4 PAL, needs mode 3 select to work

+'s:

No MODCHIP

No cost for cd, dvdrs

Quicker loading time (depends on rpm speed of your HDD, loading time is next to nothing)

Programs such a divx player, media player, EMU can be install on the ps2 without an modchip

cost

-'s

Cost (depend on the cost of the HDD, it can be equal to the cost of a modchip installed)

well thats about it i think, if anyone has anymore question just pm me and i will be more than happy to help you

Thanks Michael

adrian :)

Please stick to the thread...

 

and answer this

 

"sweet dude, gonna have to do this too. where did u actually buy the HDD from, online or a store?"

hey joe,

i found it hard to find a hdd and not pay an arm and a leg. I went to morely and try all shops.

In the end i would try Dicksmith or some other pc type shop, or else you could try online i cant remember any websites of the top of my head.

and yeah the new ps2 (small ones), i dont think you can do this as there is no spot for the hdd

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
