[PS2] USB Flash Drive for Save Backups

So are you telling me that PC type HD does work with PS2? That would be cool. Do all PS2 PAL games can be run from the hard drive? And do I have to have a modchip to run games on HD or to use that HDloader and LaunchELF? I admit I am a newbie to that thing :/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for bothering. Anyway could you tell me few things about HD and PS2? Let's say we have a clean, fat, PAL PS2 without modchip. What do we need to store all original PAL games on HD (HD Loader, Network Adapter just everything)?

If I understood right, PS2 works with PC type hard drives, right? But then is it ATA100, ATA133, Serial ATA, 2,5'' (notebook type) or 3,5'' (standard)? Do you think for example, that Samsung Spinpoint series work with the PS2?

Thanks again. I am a gaming veteran, but what you said is totally outstanding.

How ya doing, buddy?

It truly sounds little complicated :P To worry you, I have few more questions.

1. It may sound dumb, but what does the Action Replay have to do with transfering files to memory card. How does it work?

2. I don't get it. How to transfer something to PS2 via FTP? O_O Do you mean File Transfer Protocol?

3. Do I have to put a PS1 game each time I want to play a PS2 game from HD?

4. On the PS2HD compatibility list I saw something like "works with mode 3". What does it mean?

5. Can I save all PS2 games on HD by just placing them in drive? What with PS2 CDs and these dvd9 like Gran Turismo 4?

6. Are you sure I don't need a modchip to run PAL games from HD?

7. Are there any pros besides size while using non-Sony HDs? And if I am using non-Sony one: is there a difference if I use ATA 100 or ATA 133? Or can it be even old ATA 66?

8. Do I need something special to run fan-made emus from HD? And how to put them on that HD? By coping it from PC's HD or by inserting some CD-R?

I know it's much and it's newbie like but it's better to ask an expert than to google for faqs. Thanks again, man!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Again :/

1. Is this Action Replay max always containing that flash drive, or not? I saw some boxed sets with 8MB memory card.

2. To be honest I don't know how can you just transfer something to PS2 via FTP? Could you tell something more?

3. Weren't PS2 CDs purple? Or purple and blue? I hope most of them work.

4. Does the HD which I would insert in PS2 need to be formatted in some "special" way?

Thanks for your future help. To be honest I wonder if it is worth a hassle considering I would play PAL games mostly. Anyway I wish to know as much as I can before I decide. Anyway such helping attitude isn't a very common thing so I highly appreciate it (well, maybe on Gamingforce ). If you ever need any help, just ask. I may be dumbass in HD/PS2 stuff but I might know other things.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ah. So I have to have a PCI Ethernet Lan Card, right?

And about that pendrive. So I would have to buy Action Replay Max Evo Edition - that's clear. But does this set contain a real Action Replay, which can be seen here:

Or do I have to buy it separatelly? Heck, do I need that thing for something? Or just the pendrive will do?

You are da man :-)

I was speaking idiomatically.
