How does saving the PS2 game work? I mean, I know you can transfer files through FTP using your computer and the PS2. But, are you saving the actual game ,in whole, to the PS2 HD? If so, is the cd necessary? (once HD loads game) | ||||

All the Hrad Drive does and will ever do LEGALLY is be a back-up for your memory cards and just a spatter of other uses elsewhere; such as
1) three new maps for socom 2, which are saved to the HDD from the disk you purchased them 2) Downloadable camo for Metal gear Solid 3 3) FFXI and Playonline (playonline is like email and IM on your ps2 and a multiplayer card game online) 4) The ESPN 2k games (not sure of the newer releases anyway) where you can save replays to the HDD. No there is no web browser No there is no transferring of files over the internet No there is no direct saving of games of game saves to the HDD (without illegal methods) And lastly there is no real use for the HDD unless your a die-hard Socom 2 fan (thats NEEDS the new maps, which arent even played that much online) or you cant play FFXI on your computer, for various reasons. Oh yea, FFXI charges you a monthly fee. Enjoy... if you can. |

you can save games to the hdd if you have the hd loader disk.... then you would put the hd loader disk in the PS2 to play those games | ||||

well i know that if you have a hard drive you can do the following, install complete games on it but you would need hdloader or hd advance, you can play a few emus such as pgen which is a genesis emulator and install the roms on the hd, you can also play neo geo cd games with the neocd/ps2 emulator which can also be installed in the hdd, there's a nes and gameboy emu, mp3 player and a media player. | ||||

Well, you can legitly install FFX on the HDD, assuming you have a Japanese copy of FFX, a Japanese PS2, a Japanese HDD, and the Japanese BBNav software... But there IS an install option in the main menu of FFX if you meet all of those requirements... Edit: Also in Kingdom Hearts and a few other games, I do believe. |

It sounds like a $100.00 doorstop to me, if you want a Hard drive that actually works then get a PC or even an Xbox which actually uses its HDD for more then just a few games and features. | ||||
|
||||
well see I would use the hd for saving my games, so I havent change the cd any longer. But before I spent 100,- EUR (thats what a hd included a bba goes for here) I would like 2 know if that would load all my games faster..... So is anyone here using a hd and the hd-loader and do the games now load faster? | ||||
|
||||
much faster, but if your're looking into doing the hd loader thing, you might want to get a maxtor hdd that fits in the ps2 that way you can buy one that's like 120 gb | ||||
