Booting DVD iso's from hdd?

**retro** · 03-27-2005,10:22 AM

Is there a way to run dvd iso's from hdd?
If not, isnt a good idea to make a dvdloader program?

**infiniteshamoo** · 03-27-2005,06:24 PM

Yes, by using the HdLoader or Hd Advance exploit or actual disc.

what do you mean?

a know that the ps2 can run standard dvd discs
But the big question is if its possible to boot a movie in isoformat in hdloader.

It would be cool because my laser is about to die any second so if this methode
works i can still watch movies a found on the net. without using any real discs

Well... i tried it and it did NOT work...

even tried to read a dvd from the ps2 to the hdd without sucess.
infiniteshamoo-> is there a patch/exloit to make the hdloader do this?

Wouldn't you need the dvd driver located and pointed to on the hd as well?

**retro** · 03-30-2005,10:47 PM

mabye... but how? i am not a programmer with does kind of skills,so it would be nice to see this idea becoming a project for someone who has good skills.

they probably thought you meant an iso of a dvd game.
In any case, if it does become possible, hdloader won't be the program doing it.
