PS2 + Hard Drive?

There is a homebrew app that works as a basic media player for PS2. You can get it at http://sksapps.com/ if you like, but honestly it kinda sucks. If I were you I'd pick up a used xbox on the cheap, and softmod it. They work as an amazing media player, when modded.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's a softmod which won't cost you anything like that much. You need an Action Replay and a copy of Splinter Cell. That is all. I guarantee you will find the PS2 an unsatisfactory media player.

What you need to do is purchase a standard IDE hard drive, just the same kind as would be used in a desktop PC. The network adapter serves to connect the hard drive to the PS2, and also to allow you to send files to your PS2 hard drive via FTP. You need to format the drive using a PC application called WinHIIP first. You can get it from SKS Apps, which I linked to earlier.

Once that's done, since you already have a modchip, you need to set up uLaunchELF, the PS2 file manager and homebrew application launcher. Get it from SKS Apps. I don't know what modchip you have, so you probably know best how to execute homebrew on your PS2.

Once uLaunchELF is up and running, you can start copying files to your HDD, and then you can easily load other homebrew aps, like the SMS Media Player. You get that from SKS Apps too.

You should also try playing games direct from the hard drive with HDLoader too. It's pretty decent.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
