  1. #1 Is there any way to install games on the HDD without.... 
    The Kreep Guest
    ....without either:

    1) Installing it from a Disc in the PS2
    2) Without removing the harddrive from the PS2

    ?

    Help appreciated. I don't wanna have to unload my Harddrive, open up my comp, connect the hard drive etc. every time I wanna install a game on my PS2.

    Thanks in advance, guys!

    faplink young man, faplink.

    its not very fast, and i think there is a limit to the size of the iso you can install, but it works. i only use it when installing disc images that are 512mb and below.

    I know that this doesn't exactly answer your question. But what about using an external usb HD enclosure.
    So you remove the HD from the PS2
    through it in the external HD enclosure
    connect the enclosure to your PC via USB

    For me the the worst part would be to open the PC up each time...

    I know that there are a few people on here that use this method.. Can anyone post tips on select an external hd enclosure, i belive that they are all pretty much the same.
