PS2 hdd theory


Hi
I was reading your forum and thought maybe you guys could help me
Im thinking to get a ps2 hard drive but I thought bundle kits are pricey so I wanted to build my own kit
I was thinking if you guys could help me with my theory


I want to buy an 80 gb+ hard drive from eBay. A Maxtor hard drive (saying it is compatible by checking the PS2 Hard Drive Compatibility Chart website from ps2drives.x-pec.com)

Then by buying a network adapter to connect it together with my v7 pal ps2

I then will buy hdadvance cd and DVD with a slide card tool

I then wish to backup my current games like the getaway onto the hard drive

I also want to buy swapmagic 3.6plus to transfer the ps2 memory card exploit to my memory card via my USB MEMORY STICK

I also want to see if it will play backups dvdr games on my ps2, copy backup dvdr games to my hard drive using the method above

I also want to try out transferring the hdadvance elf file to the memory card using the exploit so I don?t have to keep on loading the disc up

And last but not least thanks for reading my post

I was hoping that anybody with any experience could help me to explain if this would work or not work

Thanks

Sounds like it will work to me, but I wouldn't waste my money on an HDAdvance disk. Id just get swap magic and set up the mc exploit. If you can locate an unpatched hdl.elf and patch it with zero's hdlpatch 0.7c not only will it be free, but the compatibility will be much better.

Also with the Independence / Memory Card exploit, you will neither need a slide card or swap magic - just HDLoader as your BOOT.ELF file. Or LaunchELF (then stick HDLoader on your HDD). Instead of buying crap, buy something you'll use again - ActionReplay or some similar memory card file copier and use PS2save-builder (use google) to build a save file that includes whatever you need for your MC exploit. Or even just get a friend to copy memcard to memcard...

Use google or P2P and find hddExploitTools - a pdf file...
