Swap Magic -> HDLoader ?

)( T )( · 01-14-2005,08:04 PM

New to modding and didn't see it in any of the stickies. What I'm trying to do is follow KillerSpaz's tutorial on a PS2 (slim version). He recommends having a modchip. I'm wondering if i can use Swap Magic instead to boot HDLoader and get it on the HDD...?
Also, once I get HDLoader on the HDD does that make the PS2 boot directly to a menu kind of like the Xbox does?

Please help me out and set me straight if I'm talkin out of my ass.

thanks,
T

the guide killerspaz did can be used with both a modchip or even a completely unmodded ps2 providing you HAVE hdloader already. if you have a swap magic set then it shouldnt be a problem. just find a way to boot up execftps and make sure you can connect between ps2 and pc and youre set.

slim ps2 doesnt have hd built-in..
so this means hdloader would not work on pstwo v.12
it may work BUT USELESS, cuz thers no hd to load games...

You actually didn't say that the PStwo has a built-in HDD, but this looks like you assumed you can at least have one. Sorry for being a smartass, but I couldn't resist!

Cheers,
