try ebay, but if u r using it with hdloader all u need is a ps2 network adaptor(official) and a regular hardrive. hdloader.com reccomend a maxtor 120 gig. the lowest size u can have is 40gig and the higest is 120gig. hope that helps

use a standart ide hdd

How would you go about hooking an IDE HDD to the PS2? Would I need to buy a little adapter or make my own or something?

theres a ide port built into the sony network adaptor. The distance between the power and data is pretty fixed so you just need to make sure it will physically fit.

There is no lower limit to the drive size, I was testing with an old samsung 10GB a few days back and it worked fine.

Yes it is. Screws over the hole where the harddisk will eventually go. Either of the official sony network adapters work.

Hehe - finally catching up with Xbox?

Yay, I just fitted my network adapter to work with an old Western Digital 40GB that I have. And the network adapter still works. Next thing to do is finally get an HD Loader disc.

Mines in the post . I just need a fat harddisk now... there's some bitchin stuff coming out for the ps2 at the moment. Next on the list after the hdd is Action Replay MAX Evo Edition. I'm glad I didn't trade my ps2 for an xbox .

After I get a gp32 im getting a HDD for my ps2. And then HDloader, the load times in games are supposed to be cut down by 3/4, brilliant!

PS2 will never be as good as XBOX though, so im going to pick one of them up along the way.

if any of you have modded ps2's theres an 8MB downloadable free version of HDloader out there.

Link?

Wait, is it illegal?

 

[NssOne]

Yes, the cracked HD Loader is illegal.

 

[finty]

Oh right I thought it was just a Homebrew version.

Has anyone got the PS2 to reconize an unoffical HDD yet?

 

[NssOne]

To my knowledge, plenty of times. Like 120GB Maxtor/Seagate ones. Soon, I should be able to get a Western Digital one to work, whenever my order ships.

 

[sensible GP32]

you ever going to get any emulators?

There are MegaDrive and snes ones, but there could be more, I dont really know. Oh and a C64 one.

 

[NssOne]

Muahhahahaha

Got my HD Loader finally.

My Western Digital drive works with it just fine. Been installing a few of my games the last hour and a half or so.

I just have the official HDD and Network adapter for the PS2 (modded) and everythign works fine.

I might not quite understand the thread that much , BUT why hook up an old HD when you could just get the official one from sony?? stupid question I know...
