Hdloader + Online Games=possible?

[KRS1]

alright, i have several questions.


1. if i install games into my hdd, can i play them online? if so, how does the process work?



2. since im using Ps2 menu to boot up hdloader, can i still install my network service cd that came with the network adapter to play REAL games?

The only online games that work, are ones that don't have DNAS as far as I know. Games that use DNAS won't work, the Network Adapter doesn't ever initialize.

how will i know that the games use DNAS?
if they don't, how do i go online with them?


can i still install the network CD and play online with REAL games?

Dont know about playing online via HD with "non dnas" games as I havent bothered trying.

Still dont see any reason why "non dnas" games wont work online from the HD ?!

Space

ps/ the above may or may not be correct.

thanks space

but DO I INSTALL THE ONLINE SERVICE CD?
the network start-up disc

[Ezags]

uhh i almost sure that non dnas games work. and you have to have network settings made then just play the game like a normal one.

Yeah I find it very weird myself, but perhaps it's because DNAS games need to load IRX's that HDLoader has already loaded while non DNAS games don't use them. Hence the Network adapter failing to initialize.

[KRS1]

ok..

what about the install disc?

the network start up disc?

Use it to setup your network settings and thats all you need it for. After that the game loads the "Your Network Configuration" file from your memory card.

Twisted Metal Black: Online works for me. So yes, I can verify that non-dna's games do work online. Now just to find a way to disable dna's altogether...

btw, very good list spacemonkey.
