Has anyone got this bit of software? What do u think of it? Also if I have the software downloaded do I need to burn it on DVD to get it to work as it doesnt on CDR? :D

the bootloader is made by the same people that used to make the action replays m8, and speaking to a m8 who is well clued up on them, he reckons cd or dvd they won't work:(

 

since they made chipping of ps2's illegal and the guy got jailed, that scene has gone very quite;)

Bummer!

I was gonna get into this,

theres a HDLoader now called advance HDLoader I think I've seen it for £40!

I helped a mate reciently do a trick where you take the lid off a PS2 and use a bootdisc to play backups, the disc would'nt read in a PC and was very weired on the back kind of like spirals?

You wont be able to buy a mod-chip on the net though everyone has packed it in :rolleyes:

I've got an HDLoader (with 120Gb drive) - top bit of kit..

 

However if you've downloaded the HDLoader software and burnt it to a disc, you'll either need your PS2 chipped or to use the disc-swap trick like Paul described to be able to boot the home-burnt disc..

 

http://www.whitedog.co.uk/ sell the 'lids' that will let you do the disc swap trick without having to run your PS2 with no case..

Got a network kit today

off downstairs in a minute to try my 60gig IBM HDD in PS2

Is someone gonna spill the beans on where to download the Hard Drive Loader ;) cos I can't find it :o

Try Kazaa/Shareaza/Gnutella etc - the p2p networks. There are no resellers now as Sony slapped a cease & desist order on the makers.

 

Oh and without HDLoader the HDD won't do anything ;) The PS2 alone only recognises the 'official' Sony HD.

 

Maxtor work best, Seagate don't fit (IIRC) and I dunno about IBM..
