Ps2 Hd Loader 0 8c Iso File
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.#23ePSXe can play ISO files. If you want to burn iso files to CD use burnatonce (FREE) fromFor 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. Check out 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.
It seems that my Champions of Norrath works with HDLoader now. Previously, loading a save in or going to the Tower of Clouds would get just a black screen, now it loads ok. I'll have to play through it more to know for sure, but the initial impression is that it can be done.Betelgeuse: I had a hard time understanding that part about ordering the files the way they're listed in Apache. I did the 1st layer, doing entire directories at a time. Are the 2nd layer files supposed to go after all the 1st layer?I'm going to try Devil May Cry now and see.

The instructions there are not clear about this and when I arranged them as the 2nd layer file list showed it didn't work. But after I went back and reordered them with 2nd layer files after all the 1st layer files it worked.

Yeah, the directions aren't very clear. I just arranged the directories in the order they're listed in Apache and everything's froody.

I've seen posts from people saying that they can save once in something like Vice City, but it gives them a 12/30/99 date and then when they save again it locks up or some other bad thing. Haven't tried that game myself, but it seems like everything else I have works just fine.Oh that sounds bad, I havn't tried saving much, just trying stuff out.Actually driver 3 seems to be working fine with saving but I've only saved once or twice, I'll try it with VC next time I'm playing.Where were you seeing this?
Quote:Originally posted by Crimson Harvest:PS. I fixed my drive by fixing the fucking jumper that I changed like an idiot when I plugged the drive into my pc. Gonna test again if a PSX game installed this way works.It doesn't work. The hard drive light blinks once then the screen stays black.Coleman: I deleted all my junk after it worked - View image here: - sorry.I extracted both layers to the same folder, yeah the directory trees overlap but there are no duplicate filenames. For CoN, I ordered the directories the way they're listed in the filelist for the first layer and it works fine. The individual files are already in the correct order, the folders just need reordered. I dunno if this method is fine for other DVD9 games cause I don't have any others.Remember to use compatibility mode 3 when actually playing the game with HDLoader.
Yeah.so.this sucks.Somewhere along the lines trying to load it the loader puked and whacked a bunch of stuff I'd already done. View image here: -Ok so anyway, hmm well my files when I add them(just drag and drop right?) get added sorted according to however my system is sorting them, it's not adding them in the order that the file listing shows.but the thread on PS2OWNZ seems to be suggesting the file order isn't so important?So you're CoN works fine? Hope this isn't against any Ars policies. I don't think I'm doing anything bad here.For anyone trying to get Champions of Norrath to work with HDLoader, I've made the IML file I created which actually worked for me, available.This is just a config file. You will still need to extract the actual game files from your own copy of CoN.

Also, assuming this can work, you will at the very least need to edit the IML file to have the paths point to your extracted files.I also included the IMS file because.well I don't know what the hell that does and just in case you need it. If so I hope you don't need to make changes to it as well since it's a binary.
If anyone wants to enlighten us about it that'd be cool.The file can be retrived at this link:It's a RAR file. Also, I make no guarentees etc etc. Whatever breaks if you use this is your problem, I'm just trying to save you some effort(since I deleted about 10 other images in the process of getting this thing right, which took about 6 tries)Sorry my disclaimer isn't more impressive.

Been loading games on it all day, everything does indeed load faster.
View image here: -Yeah, I have Evo for the US console, but for import I only have the first VF4. Remember, it's got two hole fewer characters, for starters, and there's a lot of those 'movies' on the new one. It did come on a CD, after all.
Quote:Originally posted by Gendal:Woo thanks for the IML files, haven't gotten around to trying this out but that should make it easier. CoN was the main reason I got HDLoader, having it not work when I loaded my plane of air save sucked bad.Ok giving a warning/head's up.I can't tell if this happened because of my rip setup or what, but I've reached a point in the game where I can't progress(the vampire prison). The little guy you have to escort out(yep, it broke in an escort mission) always appears buried in a random wall now and doesn't follow you.I've tried loading my save playing form the original disc but it still is broken, so obviously something is broke in the save.
View image here: -I hope it's not a problem associated with my character, with any luck I can play through agian by importing the character and not have it be broke.but I would apprciate if anyone can tell me if they have any problems with their HDLoader rip at that location.
