    This is not about the games compatibility of HDLoader/HDAdvance but about how well HDLoader and HDAdvance can actually coexist if used at the same time.

    I started of using HDLoader but got HDAdvance soon after that. Now I'm still uncertain about their advantages/disadvantages. I heard they are pretty much the same product with the same compatibility of games and so on, but how do they get along with each other if used in a boot selection menu like PS2Keylauncher? Do they use different partition names/modes and/or configuration files? Is it dangerous to boot/run games with HDAdvance if all your games were copied to HD using HDLoader?

    If you use the mighty search you'll soon learn that both are exactly one and the same product, except that HDAdvance is just a hexedited ripoff made from HDLoader with the exact same features/compatibility.

    There are the same program with different background, so you can have both elfs on your hdd or use both disc, it doesn't matter, they are the same... use the SEARCH button first next time
