    Put the game disc in your PC and make a .iSO file with DVD Decrypter. Then either connect your PS2 over the network and install the game with HDL Dump or put your PS2's HD in your PC by using a USB Enclosure or directly connecting it and install the game that way. DVD9's do not work directly installing from HD Loader.

    I will get Xenosaga from my friend tonight and test it, ok I found it, use mode 2, to go into mode 2 press the select button at the game picking screen and select the second option then press select again, you are using HD Loader v0.7c right?

    sorry to reply so late Breath of Fire, i just haven't the time lately to mess with the mods stuff. But, hey it's the weekend now so i'm ready to mod and backup my games. i'll start by trying to get my xenosaga to boot off the hdd first, ok.
    yes, i am using hd loader v0.7c. (the latest version of hd loader as i was told)
    i went into hd loader with my game list open, i then highlighted the game xenosaga, and press select. "Game Compatibility Settings" open up with 8 options(all saying no). then i went down to the 2nd line "Disable DVD9 Support" and enabled it or made it "yes" and the rest "no". I then press select. Back to the game list. i press "a" or "start" and the game just give me a black screen with no radar. no sound or nothing, just a black screen.

    attempt #2. this time i enable just mode 3(Kill hddloader after launch) by turning it to yes. and it booted up. yeah! but same result as before. a black screen with the radar. sigh... atleast i could go into the game settings and option within the game. i tried to set the "Monitor Settings" in the game configuration menu, but the game froze on me. So at this point i am clueless as what needs to be done. i only can think that the game disc was bad(scratch disc) when ripping with winhiip.
    by the way my memory card is full and says that it will not let me save. but i continue without saving anyway. don't know if that will cause the game to freeze or not to work though. anybody can help. please do. i appreciates it. i'm mad now because mode 2 works for some peoples and mode 2 itself doesn't boot up for meeee. however, it still booted up with mode 1 and 3 on. that's is all i can say for now until anybody can help me. thanks.

    OK I have 4 things you can try:

    1). Make another .ISO with DVD Decrypter with no other programs running and install that .ISO and see if it works.

    2). Make another .ISO with DVD Decrypter and convert the Xenosaga to a DVD-5 I attached a tutorial.

    3). Make another .ISO with DVD Decrypter and convert the Xenosaga to a DVD-5 I attached a tutorial and apply the patch I have also included.

    4).Make another .ISO with DVD Decrypter and apply the patch I have also attached.

    hey Breath of Fire, and everyone else, i got the files you attached and i followed the tutorial all the way through. did not work for me.
    1). that's the first method i did and no go.
    2). i kept the same iso the first time and follow the tutorial. when done i got a 4+gb iso. still didn't work.
    3). try applying the patch but don't know how to use it. gave me an error.
    4). couldn't apply the patch.
    5). i'm searching the web and other forums for a successful guide now, but seems that this guide by nemesism66 is what some people used. i'll try and start over. anyway that's my updated result so far.
    thanks for the links though. thats very useful tools and guide. maybe i am not understanding the guide correctly. i'll keep trying to get this game working though. thanks guys for keeping the scenes and the links alive.
