Page 1 of Virgin PS2, New Memory Card, New HDD & HD Advance.

Apologies if its been posted before or contravenes RJS`s rules (in which case delete mods).

I Googled & got throughly confused so can any of you guys advise\help\pm on getting HD Advance onto a memory card using a un-modded PS & saving games to the HDD if poss.

Just trying to make things easy for the youngest son at Christmas by putting all his games onto a USB HDD & booting from the memory card.

Thanks in advance guys.


I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Hi,
I`m a bit rusty, its been months since I`ve used HDAdvance and the last one I had I sold (my personal opinion, SwapMagic takes more time to use, but much easier in the end!)

First off, what version PS2 are you using, slimline or chunky? I`ll assume chunky, otherwise things get very very difficult.

The best thing I can do is point you towards this site for the time being http://www.exploitstation.com/index.php?page=articles

This site has multiple methods of carrying out what you want to do, either via using a PS1 disk exploit (best tutorial is titled "How to Make an Independence Exploit Installer CD" or copying the files to run to the HDD (titled "Installing Exploit via Network with Original HDL/HDA Discs") I`d assume copying files to the HDD would be the easiest method by the sound of things.

Any questions PM me or ask again here, I`ll try to help as much as I can.
