new to getting games into hd

[Valholy]

im new to getting games into the hd,i already have hdloader and ftp access to it, i just downloaded harvest moon save the homeland for ps2 and i want to put it in my hd but i dont know how,i assume that i have to ftp it to my hd but to wich folder and how , the downloaded file has the following folders and files:

IOP
MSG
EVENT
CGDATA
SOUND
SYSTEM.CNF
SLUS_202.51


thats all,do i need to put all of them into a single folder or do i ftp each one of those to the hd? also will it need a fix to work in the hd? if so can someone tell me where can i find those fixes? thanks in advance

One of the easiest wys to transfer games to your hard drive is to use winhiip or any other similar program.

then how do i transfer it? do i transfer the image? or how do i do it since the game i downloaded was a .bin file and i extracted the files

[kaioshade]

you can delete the files, and just keep the bin file. To use winhiip, connect the ps2 drive to your computer, either through ide or external usb (preferred method). And transfer the image that way.

will i need a fix to get the game working? if so can you tell me a good place to get it and how to use it please? i hope im not disturbing to much :P

also when im adding the image its adding the .cue , i thought that the .bin was the one that it needed to transfer , and it asks me the mode compatibility mode 1,2,3 wich one do i choose?

[kaioshade]

cue files are just little text files that are pointing to the bin file, so you are alright on that count. For compatibility modes, for initial transferring you can leave them as-is, but if a game does not work, you can always change the modes using hdloader itself. Most games work with no modes at all, but a few are tricky.

thanks for the info,but i have one more question, what about if i want to add a game to my hd and i dont have the .cue nor the .bin? i mean if i only have the files and folders can i still get it to work like that?

NO image only, you can try making an image from the files and it MAY work but i doubt it you can read about in another forum about how to resize games that will show you how to make image files in a special way that may work form the files.......
