Ability to install IDE HDD game from ISO on USB?

**ikk** · 01-13-2011,10:05 AM

Is it possible to install game to internall IDE HDD from iso image provided on USB stick?

i've tried starting fake images with Open PS2 Loader (OPL) that contain only uLaunchelf then start HDLoader from it but HDLoader doesnt recognize mounted image as PS2 game and wont install.

Can it be done tweaking settings in OPL?

please tell me is there is app for that allready.

it would be great if that could be possible. maybe transfer would be faster than from disc or via network.

Well as far as I know, the only ways to install a game onto that hard drive are to connect it to your computer - like with an external enclosure or actually connecting via the IDE cable, networking it from the PS2 with the network adapter, or installing from a game disc on the PS2. There could be a way I don't know of, but I'm fairly certain those are the only ways to do it.

yes, these are propably only ways.
it would be nice if someone could code tool for that.
or ulaunchelf author could add such feature. i noticed it already has some hdd utuilities built-in.

It would take half a day to install ONE game with that method.
The PS2 USB port is too slow...

eh... allright then, i will be using network transfer with HDL dump GUI then.
transfer is not too bad, 2.4MB/s is good actually.
i asked for this because i expected far slower network transfers.
