Ps2 + HardDrive?
I have the old bulky PS2. The ones which you have to buy a seperate Network controller.

I just found today that it molex power and IDE harddrive slots on it. As shown below.





Does anyone know how the harddrive gets found and used on s PS2 or was this part never developed?

Thanks!

Can't see how.. Seeing as you will have to cut a hole in the front of the PS2 to get the drive to eject.

There was always a hole in the PS2 called the "expansion Bay"

EDIT: Deathwise you poo!

Here a link you might find useful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Loader

And a compatibility list:

http://ps2drives.x-pec.com/?p=list

You can put most your games on the HD using HD Loader or HD Advance and run them off the HD. This is usefull if your laser has gone.

Thinking about this my laser is going, hmmm *pops on ebay*...

What size is your HD? If its over 120gb you will have to get HD Advance 3.0 to support up too 300gb HD's. Btw I don't endorse the copying of games that you don't own the original's of.

Thats what I will be doing!

Seeing as my PS2 doesn't read the ever ageing PS1 games I have. I wanna give this a go using a Harddrive.

After all this time me saying The xbox rules because it has a HDD. Now I have found you can run games off of a HDD using a PS2. I am once again impressed!

Need to find a harddrive now.. DAD!

@Timmy - Don't worry matey.. Im against pirating as well!
