First Legal HDD Driver Complete

**gothi** · 07-13-2003,09:46 AM

mrbrown, a developer know for his work on the PS2 Linux Memory card patch has finished and tested ps2atad, a device driver providing low-level ATA support for hard disk drives.

ps2atad builds upon the ps2dev9 driver (part of the ps2drv project), is compatable with the propriety version albeit faster, smaller and complete with source code.

Another hdd driver is being worked on by an unnamed developer that is said to have even greater performance and other features....

a new hard drive driver has been made allowing access to a hard drive from the ps2 (linux i assume)

so this is an advantage for only people who have a linux kit??

Hopefully it will allow HDD access using any HDD?

Well, if you want people to continu telling you stuff, you shouldn't speak about them IMO

you guys should check out PS2Ownz.com and look at their HDD progress, their work is very promising.

Not only is ps2ownz filled with morons but they are also theives who steal from ps2newz. Unless they make their own custom hdd driver they wont be able to run games from it in the first place. There is no way their fliptops can patch the bios in order to get games running on any other hdd besides a sony formatted one.

nobody said anything about the fliptops patching the BIOS....

and good work on the drivers! Then again, being a FFXI tester I get my own Sony HDD for free
