    For those that commented the download wasn't correct. I have added HDLoader.elf as well as a copy of WinHIIP all into the one .rar archive. I am very sorry for anybody who was mislead by the download.
    As requested here is a video tutorial on how to install and use HDLoader for PS2 system's running Free McBoot.
    Thing's you'll need:
    1.) PS2 (already softmodded, can be fat or slim)
    2.) HDLoader.elf (provided in link)
    3.) WinHIIP (provided in link)
    4.) Some way to connect PS2 HDD to your PC (google: USB SATA/IDE adapter)
    5.) Flash drive
    Here are the files you will need;

    To run an external hard drive I would recomend using Open PS2 Loader, HDLoader does not ave USB support, and yes I believe the proper format is FAT32 NTFS

      HDLoader will NOT load games from an external source. You would need something like Open PS2 Loader (which I recommend over HDLoader honestly)

    if game says please insert disk 2 how do you do that if running game using hdloader?

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  4 года назад

      From what I've gathered, your only option is to make sure you save the game, then load Disk 2 manually through HDLoader. It sucks, because there is a way to do this on PS3's PS2 emulation where you can load the second disk through the XMB.... I'll do some more research, but from a quick net search that's all I've found so far... Sorry for bad news!

    I just bought an HDD IDE 250 Gb and I formatted using the "HDDRawCopy1.02Portable - 48 bits". After that I used the "hdl_dumb" to install my PS2 Isos to the hdd... Once I turn on my ps2 I can see my ps2 hdd and all the games on it and I can play some of them...What can I do to play ALL the games without compatibility issues... I dont have that menu at the beginning the one that saids Free Mcboot or somenthing.... Any advice friend?

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  10 лет назад

      try to make sure the drive is formatted to fat32. You may need to format it a few times. I'd use a tool such as Mini Partition Wizard, delete the partition so you have unallocated space, apply settings, then format to fat32. Should work just fine. If that doesn't work then check out my video about HDD OSD

    • @LadyGin2
      @LadyGin2 10 лет назад

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  10 лет назад

      ***** Not a problem! MiniPartitionWizard is veryeasy to use; once loaded up you just right click on the HDD you are trying to format and locate the "delete" option. Then you can double click the HDD and it will ask you what you want to do with it. Be sure to select FAT32 for the type!!

      There's not really any GOOD way to do it because of how the PS2 partitions the HDD. Your best bet is to use WINHIIP and network to your pa2, or using WINHIIP and your pa2 HDD connected directly to the PC

    @ThisNameIsVeryClever 10 лет назад

    My PS2 recognizes the hard drive and the games I have on it show up with OK status on WinHiip, yet they still aren't showing up on HDLoader. It sees the drive, but it thinks there's nothing on it as far as games. What exactly is the issue here?

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  10 лет назад

      APetulantWhiteGuy You might need to use HDLoader to format the hard drive. So what I would suggest; use WinHiiP to format the drive initially, do nothing else. Plug it into your PS2, run HDLoader and it should say something about formatting the hdd. Once you do that you should be able to hook it into your pc and install games. Or rip the games using HDLoader

    • @ThisNameIsVeryClever
      @ThisNameIsVeryClever 10 лет назад

      I tried it both right after formatting and after using that rawcopy software to get the image file onto it. HDLoader didn't seem to make any attempt to format it either time; I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
      I was able to install a game through the PS2 using a disc, however, and I'm not sure what to make of that considering the other problems.

    • @ThisNameIsVeryClever
      @ThisNameIsVeryClever 10 лет назад

      FoxHoundModding After quite a bit of experimenting, I think it might be WinHiip itself that's the problem. I used HDLoader to install a game to my hard drive on the PS2 itself. Then, I used WinHiip to extract the game to my computer, deleted the game off the PS2 drive, and put it back on using WinHiip. And now it doesn't work. I then tried it again on another computer, just to see if it's something about my computer that was causing it. No success.
      I'm really at a loss at this point as to what's causing the issues. Is there another program one could use to get games onto the hard drive?

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  10 лет назад

      So far as I know, there is not another program available. If you can install the game to your ps2 using hdloader why exactly are you trying to pull it off and re-install it via pc? sorry, I'm confused

    • @ThisNameIsVeryClever
      @ThisNameIsVeryClever 10 лет назад

      I shoulda been clearer with that part. I was trying to figure out what was causing my problem. Ripping the game off the disc with HDLoader guaranteed I was using a good ISO that worked with the hard drive. So then, if I copy that same ISO to my computer with WinHiip, delete it from the PS2 drive, then copy it back on with WinHiip, and it suddenly doesn't work, that means that the issue lies either with my laptop or WinHiip.

    • @Cain532.

      Jason Bilow well, the ps2 handles ps1 games the same way an emulator would and it is a separate process from the OS, so you can't implicitly launch ps1 games the same way you can ps2. They do make emulators for it tho!!!

    • @Cain532.

      I've never ran into that issue, but it may be because of freehdloader. That mood updates the OS (kind of) so HDLoader might not be launching correctly because of it. I worked need to research it a bit more to get you a better answer

      No it does not. However it's advised to backup your current memory card to USB.

Once launched, go to MC1 (or wherever your memory card is) and copy the contents to your flash drive before installation.

      HDLoader requires you to use a physical IDE or PATA based HDD attached to your PS2 via the network adapter. If you want to use a USB drive to launch games (not recomended because PS2 uses USB 1.0 with very slow read/write speeds) you would need to use something like OPL or USB Loader Advance

    Can you store games on a USB stick instead of the HDD using this same method/programs?

Are these two programs equivalent to the ones you are using or is it different?

    • @Jesse9Lee
      @Jesse9Lee 9 лет назад

      you can store game from a usb but it is quite slow because the ps2 usb reader is only 1.0 making it read the game even slower than if it was on a disc.

    • @IllusiveSerb
      @IllusiveSerb 9 лет назад +1

      Jesse Lee It's no problem. I found that only the initial load is a bit slow, but once the game starts I can't even tell the difference. I was just curious about these specific programs, since it said "HDLoader", I wondered if it was specifically for hard drives. If it works for USBs as well, I would switch to these programs. On USB Util, there is no "test" option like in here, which would help me a lot. Save me the time and wondering if I did something wrong, at least.

      Jesse Lee Why do they bash it? I guess there are a lot of programs that do the same thing. Finding out about HDD and USB games on PS2 was great, because that means that you can still use your ps2 even if it's laser is dead. And no matter how much consoles advance I always find the "vintage" ones just as fun. Who knows, maybe this time I'll actually complete Final Fantasy X :D

      Slim models have always been tricky. I would recommend using either Open PS2 Loader or USB Advanced Loader. Give those a shot (Don't do anything to your HDD!) and let me know if that works for you!

    do you have to have your ps2 connected to your computer for this to work or once you get the game to your ps2 can you plug it back into your tv and play it there?

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  4 года назад

      That depends on how you are wanting to copy the content to your PS2. You can rip it direct using HDLoader and your disk tray (no burned games), you can transfer them over the network using something like WinHIIP, or (using the same program and your HDD connected to your PC) you can transfer them manually.

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  4 года назад +1

      With this particular method, no. You would want something more like Open PS2 Loader for USB games. However consider the DRASTIC incompatibility with a lot of USB based games. The read/write speeds of the USB bus on PS2 was never meant to transmit data fast enough for games. You will have problems with load times and a much higher possible freeze risk. But of course it is possible :)

      You may be able to fix it if you repair your drive using WinHIIP, otherwise the HDD may have been formatted incorrectly on WinHIIP. absolute worse case, you can allow HDLoader to format it, then load the games from WinHIIP. I've had to do that before because my HDD technically isn't on the list of compatible HDD's :X But it works haha.

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  10 лет назад

      What do you mean by any hard drive? if you mean any IDE based Hard drive, then yes. There are very few IDE based drives that won't work. You can even use some PATA format drives, as they have the same IDE interface.

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  10 лет назад

      Typically (atleast from my experience) if the HDD states it has lets say a 6000rpm cap, the PS2 can only handle 5400 of it, therefore it will only spin up to 5400rpm. The HDD may be capable of reaching 6000rpm, but if the system it is hooked up to can't push that much power to it, then it will either not function, or it will only spin up to 5400. I've had luck in the past with high rpm set HDD's working just fine on the PS2.

    • @Cain532.
      @Cain532.  4 года назад

      Personally I prefer OPL for general use, but HDLoader is Handy for formatting a drive. Winhiip and OPL don't have good format functions in my opinion. As far as compatibility with games, that can be hit or miss based on PS2 revisions as well as the game versions. You could have multiple flaws that aren't consistent through games that are documented as having the same version.

      If you are trying to place games into the HDD via some sort of FTP methd, then it won't work because for it to work, the PS2 has to actually create a partition to recognize the game. So the easiest method is to either use WinHiiP or HDLoader, or OPL.

      Very sorry for the late reply!!! RUclips flagged your comment for some reasaon. I'll be honest, I've never hooked anything more than 320GB to it. But if you have a IDE to SATA adapter, it should work. Might be a touch cramped in the back compartment. The hardest part would be providing enough power to the drive itself. No clue if the PS2 can do that!

      Make sure your computer is initializing the drive, if you are using some sort of USB adapter for it, be sure to plug the power source into the drive first, then the USB portion. If you still can't get it to show up, right click My Computer and go to Manage, then go to Disk Management and see if there is a new drive in there. If you see it, right click and click on Initialize. NOTHING ELSE if you mess with that too much in the disk manager then you could damage or erase the drive. Although you may need to format it if you can't get it to show up.
