I want to get an 80gb Extrernal HD for my playstation 2.
What would I need to make it work with my v12 slim?

Lebowski:

-you need a HD and external compatible Box.

-USBExtreme or USBAdvance as software of load.

-to format the HD with Windows in NFTS. [New partition]

-to format the HD with the utility USBExtreme.exe [in FAT32]

-with this utility the games are loaded from your PC to your ps2 slim.

Luck

What do you use to hook the external hdd to the ps2 ? Just a normal USB cable ?

[Cloudhunter]

Yup, if you can plug it into the usb port on the front it should work

[cletus_the_Red]

you could use a usb 2.0, but that wouldnt matter, as the ps2 is a v1.1 or somthin. Note. If you play games off of there, sometimes they have video problems, as with black the sound doesnt match the video and the vid is jerky, nothin you cant deal with tho. Good luck!

First it pardons my English poor man because I am Spanish.

Well?.

Your external box is compatible with usbextreme/usb advance?.!OK

Then what you need to do he is the following thing:

-you must give format the HD with Windows:

External/hd to the PC connects the box and you go a:

- Configuration >> administrative Tools >> Administration of equipment >> Disk management.

- the HD Looks for and you eliminate all the partitions.
- You must create a new partition.
- Primary partition Selects.
- NFTS in file format Assigns letter >> and assigns a label to recognize it.

Now you must return to format it with the Usbextreme.exe.= (fat32).

If everything has gone well your HD this ready one to be able to load your games.

And nothing better than to use a virtual unit to mount your ISOS.

Now, if you have Swap superior Magic 3,6 or superior.....

You go has to do the following thing:

You are going to create a directory in the root of your called HD SWAPMAGIC.

Within this folder you are going to put USBadvance.elf, but you must change USBAdvance.elf by SMBOOT0.ELF

And this so that?
Because, with pad of your PS2 podras to send tightening it: UP+L1

And if everything has gone it begins to enjoy and to load your games !!

look friend.

If mimesis .........

I am going to you to respond in Spanish that I suppose that you understand it well .................

You need to formatear your HD first with Windows (NFTS), soon to return has to formatear with USBExtreme.exe (FAT32).

If you go through [SceneSpain.net] you found USBadvance & and the feasible USBExtreme.exe.

And if you have left but doubts that it raises she will help you in which it can.
