do i really need a network card for the harddrive ? if i need one, where can i buy ?

[pspsharez]

Gamestop recently now takes in the Network Adapter, so you can call around at your local Gamestop for a used one!

do you need to hard-modded ur ps2 to play games from HDD? and is there any specific reason to rename File_New to BADass-system? thanks

[pspsharez]

No, everything I did is all you need to do, which doesn't require any actual Hardmodding.

i need help i have all the tools and have followed the video step by step but when i have to save the file in ps2 save builder i cant save it as a .max file what do i do

[pspsharez]

If by you can't save it as .max because there isn't an option too, I'm sorry but maybe find a more up to date save builder, but which it should let you save as .max because it's the exact same version tool I used. If you gives you an error, then my only suggestion is re-download/install.

Just so you know that's an IDE internal hard drive, and also please get your terms right if you intend to make a tutorial

@pspsharez what if I don't know if there is anything on the hdd will it still work? I just pulled this old ibm hard drive out an old 98 pc...also how many games do you think 10gb would hold? also will any flash drive work?

@ironhead82 same here

OK I've done everything you asked me to, I get to the part where you have to go from the USB to the PS2, and when I load this I have NO files showing up for me to uncrush... H e l p !!

Damn I hate the lack of the expansion bay on the slim! Seriously HD combo is cool and a great alternative, but costs almost as much as the console it's self (depends though, my slim was $40). Anyway I'd rather use a USB on OPL or set a net connection for it since my phat's officially broken ^_^;
