using a standard ata/ide hard drive (up to 120 gb) and a tools like hdloader and hdadvance you can copy all your playstation games to the drive, which makes them load faster and will cut down on wear-n-tear on the discs. just make sure you’re just doing this with the games you own.
Is it possible for me because i dont have hdloader but ps2 loader 0.7? If possilble How?

I’m a lazy retard who can’t read or follow simple instructions. Will someone come to my house and install a hard drive on my PSOne? If you could buy the stuff I need first, that would be best. Also, I’ll need help copying my games so plan on staying a while.
I’ve used winhiip to copy games to the hard drive that plugs into the network adaptor. My dvd drive is dead so I haven’t got it to bboot anything yet but winhiip will format and copy image files for you.

Hi, I was wondering how exactly do you copy a psx game onto a cd so I can play it on an emulator. The file type is an iso for the game I have downloaded.
As far as I know you can’t play loaded PSX off the ps2 at the momment . Perhaps there is support for that later on.
#23
ePSXe can play ISO files. If you want to burn iso files to CD use burnatonce (FREE) from http://www.burnatonce.com
For those who want to add a harddisc to your ps2 and have the old type of ps2 you simply buy a ethernet /network adapter. Plug your harddisc to the back and stick inside your ps2. If you have the newer / slim ps2 then you will need to get a usb enclosure (though it will be slow, thru USB1).
Now a cheap way to play your backups. (without needing to buy hdloader or hdadvance)
Find and read about the ps2 memory card exploit.
Load the stuff onto your memory card.
Insert your PSX trigger game.
Start HDLoader from the memory card, and you’re ready to go.
You can load games through network onto the harddisc, but that is slow using hdlserver. You could take the harddisc, attach to pc and use WinHiip as mentioned above.

Dose the standard PS2Harddrive the basic 1 the comes with ffxi Play ps2 games?
Check out http://ps2drives.x-pec.com/ for info on compatible drives for the PS2.
A few points to make things a bit clearer.
You cannot copy ‘backup’ DVD games to your HDD from using HDAdvance, it will only copy original DVD games to the HDD. However you can copy ‘backup’ CD based games with HDAdvance.
To copy ‘backup’ DVD games to your HDD you will need a fliptop lid or slide tool to swap the discs.
If you don’t have this then you WILL need to make an ISO image of your DVD on your PC then load the ISO onto your PS2 HDD.
Using WinHip is the best way to copy you images across to your HDD via your PC. I connect my HDD with an IDE-USB adapter for speed.
Get WinHip to format the HDD then load your .ISO images across using WinHip.
Disconnect the HDD , stick it back in your PS2, load HDAdvance, select game, play.
Beware: Not ALL games will play from the HDD, some have to be hacked, like GT4. Don’t be too disappointed if, after hours of imaging and copying, your game fails to get past the boot screen. GT4 got to the credits screen then died before it was hacked to work with the HDD.
One final point:
Your PS2 HDD should NOT be visible within Windows. Only WinHip will be able to view the drive. So don’t panic if you can’t see it. This is normal as the drive has non standard format for the PS2.
I am very confused. All I want to know how to do is take my games and be able to copy them to a hard drive and play them without the disc. Please email me with instructions and what I need to do this.
THANK YOU!

i am using ps2 slim model 75001, can i attach hard disk to it and copy games to hard disk. please tell me how can i do so.
You people who are downloading games and trying to play them on your PS2 are morons. That kind of activity is illegal! Even though I could tell you how to make them work, I WON’T! You need to buy the game and then you may copy it into a HDD installed in your PS2. The reason for bieng able to copy a game is stricly for backup purposes and to be able to store the origonal game so that is remains in good condition.
Can you transfer files from the computer to the ps2.Can you also transfer files from the ps2 to the computer?
Hi there, i’v read the article and it truly possible to jacka harddrive with your ps2. I’ve done it so far and its pretty clear that playing games without the disc is MUCH FASTER than normal.

G’day,
I have a PS2 game and i tried to burn as usual using Alcohol 120, I created the image no problem, however the image is 6 gig and is too big to fit on a normal size disk? Is there any way of shrinking the image size or is it possible to use a normal burner to burn this image onto a double layer DVD? Cheers
haha lol roflmao

Hi. I heard that just like there is Swap Magic to play PS2 games without having to install a mod chip there was also a boot-cd that you could use to play games on the PSX. I don’t know the name of it nor if it is still comercialized but i think that it would work on the PS2, at least on the slim one since you can open the lid without the PS2 detecting it. Does anybody know anything about this?
My PS2 goes on but doesnt show a picture or sound on my tv

Hi all,
Just to let you know HD-Loader patched 0.8 from sks-apps. will work with 500 gig HDD.
Best to use a Maxstor Drive since your ps2 network adapter power & IDE connectors will slide right in.
So Long…
Use Imgburn for to create image then use nero to burn image at 4x speed to make ur ps2 game more stable
is it possible to do this with a slim ps2?

How do i add a Hard Disk to my PS2?
how can i copy ps1 games onto ps2 hard drive?
I have successfully installed images into the hard disk using winhiip. I created the images using dvddecrypter. During copying of image into hard disk, there is “MODE1, MODE2 and MODE3″ that can be highlighted. Which ones should I choose? I have tried using 1, 2 and 3 by itself, combination of 1,2,3. The games still does not play on the PS2 unit. It is recognized that the file/game is already in the hard disk because it lists it upon loading the HDL, but when you press to play, just blank screen on tv. What do you think is the problem?
i wanted to know….how can hook up a hard drive that comes out of any desktop(computer)to ur ps2….if so how u do it…
Okay seriously ppl.. this is simple –>
Step 1: Get 1 PS2 Network Adapter – Get 1 IDE HDD (Make sure it fits the network adapter) – Get 1 HD Loader PS2 Software (Very cheap)
Step 2 – Copying the Game Over: Okay you have 2 choices here…. the first one is to put the hard drive in the back of the PS2 where it has the plate you can remove, you connect the hard drive to the network adapter and slide it in there and connect it… Then you pop in the HD Loader… It will probably have a user agreement, and ask you if you would like to format it… Click yes for both.. then you go over to add game, you type in the name,then it tells you to take out the hd loader disk and pop in the game disk, and it copies over… this takes a long process.. about an hour to an hour and a half.. depending on the game size (there is also a problem, make sure your using a non gold sided disk, this means multi layers, and it only reads the one layer)
Now there is a second method – Copying with pc.. and this works for multi layered, and also is alot FASTER!!!!
Buy a USB Enclose (10-25$ Max) make sure it supports IDE hard drives) Pop in your hard drive… plug that in… Then search google for a program called WinHiip (pc version of HD loader) Then download or create a iso of the game you wanna copy using DVD Decrypter (Freeware). After that open up winhiip (its a zip file, and no installation needed) select your drive it should say Drive 1 (PS2) and the main drive should say Drive 0 (PC) (for it to be a ps2 drive it has to been in the PS2 and use HD Loader cause it makes it a special drive) Then you want to select add image, which you don’t even have to make an ISO but it is faster then doing it straite from the drive… then after you select the ISO file click start, then you get to name it after you click start.. just like you would with HD Loader on the PS2… it takes like 2 minutes to copy over. Remove the hard drive from the USB enclosure and pop it into the ps2 and load up HD Loader..
I’m telling you… use the second copying method… SO MUCH FASTER!!! and that way you can play games you downloaded without ever having to mod your ps2.. or ever waste a Blank DVD…
I downloaded the WHOLE Dot Hack Series ( 7 Games) and they all worked fine… since they were all ISO files..
If you would like me to explain it better… email me at

how to install playstation2 hard disk on computer??
please answer me…….
Have a nice day
Its an IDE hard drive, there are two ways of installing it through your computer. Internally as a secondary/slave (don’t forget to switch the dip to slave if you go that route) or a $10 usb to HDD cord. Which I wouldn’t recommend using with a usb 1.1 port as it’ll be slow as christ, 2.0 is the way to go.
Oh and I forgot to mention, windows will only recognize the hard drive as a physical device and not a hard drive once its been formatted in HD Loader, or another PS2 iso loading partition. You need a program called WinHIIP to read,install, and maintenance the hard drive. Google it, itll be easy to find.
How will i copy ps2 games from my pc to my ps2 Harddisk
Thanks a lot dude
and the second method does it require a boot loader softwares like
ps2 boot loader or anything like that
please email me how this work and does the hard drive come in the ps2
I know that this is a very old site, but catch this.
Step 1. buy a 40GB hdd from where ever you can scrounge it up in the world (It’s pretty hard, they stopped making them a few months after they started).
Step 2. Buy an internet adapter for $40 at bestbuy.
Step 3. google search for “hdloader” or “hdadvance” You know, the two programs you looked past in the top of the screen, and you should come across a website
YES, you HAVE to order it. OR if your very web knowledgable, you might be able to find it. Both hdloader and hdadvance have their draw backs, off the top of my head, I cant remmember JACK.
Hope i helped,
