No.

I recall that the earlier Capcom games did support HDD install and there was a patch that you can use non Sony HDDs to install games like Final Fantasy X, the BBNav Untilities, and Capcom vs SNK 2. I forgot how that processed work but I wonder if it would bring new light on this subject.

if i install HDL on an official Sony HDD and then install this game will it work?

No, it would not since the game does hang when you try to load each individual game when you do a HDD backup. Also if you do load the game on a non Japanese Playstation 2 with even a Sony Hard Drive, the game does not install via the in game HDD mode since it hangs up during instalation.

Only if someone could figure out the proper instalation patch to have the game install (not via HDL/HDA) via the in game HDD mode, just like the FFX and the Capcom vs SNK 2 patches; then someone would also how to figure out how to boot the disc to boot to the other partition. Dangit, I just want to buy a JPN PS2 so I can just install that game on the HDD.

You may change your console ID numebr to a japanses one with the paradox consile Id changer.

Also i patched the game with the ATAD.IRX patcher but no luck it doesn't change anything. Since we don't know what's happening in the PS2 memory when it hangs on, there's no chance to find a clue.

How am I able to do that with the swap magic? Sorry if my PS2 isn't modded ^^()

Also, with the ATAD.IRX patch, I guess you still couldn't be able to install it in In game mode. Well somehow I do have a Sony brand PS2 hard drive so I wonder that would work too. As I recall for the ATA.IRX patch, you would also have to have a patched HDD when you first configured it (before there was HDL).

Thanks for trying though

In order to change your console ID to japanese, try to find the "console id changer" iso then install it on your hard drive as you do with any other game.
Then you launch it it ask you to change the number. Go see at psxforums.net, there is a thread that explain what numbers you'll have to change.

will doing this allow me to install the game on an american ps2 with the official hdd?

I can' t guarantee that, i didn't tested, it's only a suggestion since Pocky-Y said installation has failed due to his PS2 is not japanese.
