    I just brought a old version PS2 in eBay. Since it's old, I am not expect it reads disc. Would anybody help me to mod it, so I can play games by hard drive? I have only seen the pictures of it. I guess it is either 3900X or 5000x.
    Thanks

    Is it OK to post my question here?

    I just got it today. It is 30001. I do not think it has been mod before. I did not see any memory card comes with it. Are there anything beside memory card and hard drive I should have? Any device I should buy? Is FMCB Free McBoot? Thank you

    it never did you have to buy it separately

    Are there anything beside memory card and hard drive I should have?
    a way to run backups or away to install FMCB (Free McBoot)

    an easy way is let someone on Free Service on FMCB thread to install for you .

    Is that difficult for me to install FMCB on a MC? Where do I store my game? in the MC? Where can I find someone who does FMCB installation? I did not find a store in my city does it.
    Can I ask them for help? http://psx-scene.com/forums/f153/%5B...mcb-you-58851/ ([READ FIRST POST!][Free Service!]I can install fmcb for you!)

    I have a question,

    I have a backwards compatible PS3 thats running open ps2 loader, it cant see my external hdd, tried fat32 and ntfs. It's a Samsung expansion 2.5inch portable hdd. Used USB extreme to mount backup and yeah, shows nothing, but my PC can see it fine. What am I doing wrong or is not compatible?

    Also, it's USB powered, saw a youtube video that said its not possible to run USB powered hdds on PS2 although PS3 can run externals..Youtube guides I seen didn't work for me.

    My PS2 can read it all. My PS3 can't, guess I'll try another HDD. But what you need to v1j2j3 is buy the Swap magic disc and follow a tutorial like this one. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcTj3u1NtDg]YouTube - [How To] Install Free McBoot on Slim Playstation 2 (or Fat PS2)[/ame]
