Newbie help, stage by stage gudie to hdd

[eikum]

hello!
Need some newbie help.. I pretty sure thats this is one question many user have asked about.. But I cant find any thing :/

Is there any gudie about how I set up a hdd and the PS2 to the network..
And the programs that I have to use for booting .bin .cue files?

please

well, u could read my tutorial, link is in my signature. It contains basic stuff also.

for network and hdd stuff.

well, u need this:

a fat PS2.(the old one)
a HDD (maxtor will do fine, set jumper to MASTER, size doesnt matter)
a modchip or exploit installed on the PS2 to boot homebrew apps like HDLoader
an UTP cable. Cross-cable for direct link between PC and PS2,
or a straight-cable if u have a router in between.
FTp client like Flash fxp.
and radhost client to host the files on your PC. For instance: to stream movies with SMS. (get it on this forum sumwhere)

'booting' basicly means 'starting' a program. so u dont 'boot'' bin and cue files.u BURN bin and cue files to a cd. then u can pop them in ur PS2, IF u have a modchip of some kind. Depending on the contents of the bin&cue file ofcourse.

or perhaps u meant 'mounting' bin&cue files with DEAMON tools?
So u can extract the files of that image.

THanks..
I have the first PS2 with messhia chip the great one
But the thing I want to do ist to transfer the PS2 game to the hdd on my ps2.. And then mount it from the hdd.. Im sick of burning games, must burn with 2x, then the game wont crash

u can sent them from PC to PS2 with HDL dumb
or ofcourse u can pop the game in your PS2 and then transfer it.

the speed i get over network is 2.2 MB/s about 30 mins per game.

first u have to buy a network adpater and HDD. then u need HDloader to laod the games from HDD.
