    Well, why didn't I use the Search button? Because I can't find the answers to every questions I have.

    So here it goes :

    I have HDAdvance 2.0, a Ps2 (hehe, of course), a 80gig Maxtor IDE Drive, and no mod-chip, a PC, a router (connected to the PS2 NA via Patch Cable).

    My questions are the following :

    1. Can I play Import PAL games on my Ps2 via FapLink? What do I need to do in order to play these?

    2. My PC-Ps2 are currently connected via a Patch Cable. Can I still use FapLink (or some other programs).

    3. What kind of preparation my HDD needs before anything else?

    4. Is there a way to install a game on the HDD with HDAdvance, and not needing to put it in EVERYtime I want to play it?

    Well I think that's it. Thank you for your times, and I hope I'll get answers soon!

    1. Yes, you must back them up (.iso) onto your computer then I either transfer it via WinHIIP or FAPLink/ExecFTPS.

    2. Yes, but your going to need a way to launch FAPLink. I would do a Memory Card Exploit using execFTPS. Search, there's a guide on how to do it with only a softmod.

    3. None, you can make extra partitions if you wish with *** Explorer.

    4. Your going to have to have a disc in the PS2. Period. It doesn't have to be HD Advance though, you can instead have HD Advance run off your Memory Card (with the exploit). Again, search the guides.

    Hope that helps...

    The exploit changes the PSX driver in the Playstation 2, so that with a specific PSX game, you can run HD Advance with the Memory Card without the HD Advance DVD.

    Actually, yes is the answer.
