Hdd loader

[eakinsme]

hey guys.. i know the shipping is delayed for a few days for sum reason.. but i was just woundering that when ppl get them if they can post how they feel and give it a rating as well as the harddrive they are running with it?
And possibily a sticky on this?
anyone already order/preorder this?

[spedmetal]

You can guarantee that this will be happening. You know I have one on order!!!

[lufcfan]

Keep us informed - I'm gonna pre-order mine in the next few days...

[RK]

anyone recieved theirs yet?? divineo have said they've started shipping the ntsc ones, so any user reviews would be most appreciated!

[spedmetal]

Nope not yet....we'll probably see them around the middle of next week.....I hope any ways.

[eakinsme]

post when you recieve your hdd loader and give it a rating!!

[lufcfan]

Anyone got theirs yet? Have they even started shipping it?

[spedmetal]

Ummm....this is very short but looks promising, especially since its coming from the mouth of foundmy.com , a reseller of the hdd loader.

Another review by modchipworld.
HD Loader testing results:


USING PS2 with online adapter and 120 Segate/Maxtor Hard Drive

1. Followed the instructions on the HD Loader instructions manual to install Hard Drive. It is quite easy and simple the only thing to remember here is that only certain 3rd party drives actually fit the Sony PS2 Hard Drive. We found that the Maxtor/Seagate brands work well with the online adapter. Western Digital would not fit. Don’t force the Drive into the online adapter or you might break something.

2. Load HD loader into the disk drive and format your Hard Drive (like a 10 second job). Easy

3. Push the eject button and put in game you wish to backup in your hard drive. You can only put in “ORIGINAL” games for the HD Loader to backup into your hard drive if you do not have a modchip in your PS2.

4. Just click Install and HD loader will install your game into the Hard Drive. Now, there is also a Remove function for you to remove games in your Hard Drive. Simple enough.

5. Below are the games that we have save into the Segate/Maxtor Hard Drive for testing purposes. We first tested the list of games that HD loader has tested:

Devil May Cry 2__________Installed into HDD and working

Dragonball Z Budokaai 2__Installed into HDD and working

Final Fantasy X__________Installed into HDD and working

Man Hunt_________________Installed into HDD and working

Legacy of Kain, Defiance_Installed into HDD and working

GTA Vice City____________Installed into HDD and working

Max Payne 2______________Installed into HDD and working

Time Splitters 2_________Installed into HDD and working

Tony Hawks Underground___Installed into HDD and working

Xenosaga_________________Installed into HDD and working

Hitman contracts_________Installed into HDD and working

Gacket (Japanese title)__Installed into HDD and working

Final Fantasy XI_________DOES not work requires SONY HDD




6. After installing the games on your Hard Drive. HD loader will put them on your screen and you can pick whichever one your want to load and play. YOU DO NOT NEED A SLID CARD TO OPERATE THE HD LOADER. Do not purchase a slid card for the purpose of using the HD loader (IF USED IMPROPERLY, A SLID CARD WILL DAMAGE YOUR UNIT, BE CAREFUL!!!). To load your games from the hard drive, simply pick the game from your HD loader list and select play. No modchip or slid cards are required to do this.

LOAD SPEED, INSTALL SPEED of HD LOADER

LOADING SPEED OF games is at least 2X as fast. In some cases even 3 to 4X faster than loading from disk. Insalling games’ speed is as follows: 2 gig game (15 minutes); 3 gig game (25 minutes); 4 gig game (35 minutes).



LIMITATIONS OF THE HD LOADER

The HD Loader’s only function in this release is to install your games into your 3rd party hard drive. Unfortunately to load your backup games and to save your backup games into your hard drive you will still require a modchip. Also HD loader will not play import games or online games. It seems that Sony servers checks for sony hard drives. Finally, the HD loader will not make your PS2 region free, you need a modchip for that.

TEST with modded PS2 with Matrix modchip and HD loader

HK SILVERS (GUMDAM DX, WINNING ELEVEN 7) Installed into HDD and working.

BACKUPS (MANHUNT, Soul Reaver) Installed into HDD and working

FINAL FANTASY XI________________WILL NOT WORK, still require SONY HDD

If your guys have any questions, feel free to contact us, we will try our best to answer all questions.

BTW, PAL version HD Loader will be available next week!!! Make sure you get PAL version if you are not in North America or a NTSC region!!!

Right, that's it - I'm off over to Divineo right now to pre-order mine :D

[frequency]

hurry damn HDD loader......haha lol :p i can already smell it coming over here ....... :)

[247ownz]

I ordered from here: http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/customer/product.php?productid=1926&cat=&page=1 Got it this morning from my trusty USPS mailman. Installation was pretty straight forward. I've tried with 6 games so far (5 DVDROM and 1 CDROM) no issues at all. All in all well worth the wait and well worth the price! ;)

[frequency]

lucky u man!!!!!! knowing that people already have theirs makes me wanna drive to canada and get mine alredy.....lol :p

[RK]

I've seen something called a slide tool referred to in various posts linked with hddloader

thing is, do I need one, what does it do, and if so where in GB can I order the 2 from?

[lufcfan]

You don't want or need any slide card sh*t, lol! :D

You can use this thing without one. That's what you saw because I saw the same thing... :)

[RK]

hehe

I keep meaning to get round to mod chipping my ps2, but cant find anyone in my area that does it!! very annoying

anyone in north wales do it???

[eakinsme]

anyone know a place in Canada (ontairo) that sells 80-120 gig hdd that are compatible with hd loader that is cheap? i know www.canadacomputers.com has some cheap but are there any other cheaper places?
thanks

[frequency]

i just bought a 200GB HDD and i wonder if it will be compatilbe due to its larger capacity. And their results are based on a 120GB HDD, i hope this will not be an issue.

[lufcfan]

Maximum supported size by PS2 is 137GB. So a good 1/3 of your drive will not show up or be able to be used by your PS2.

[frequency]

darn..i should of gone for the 120GB HDD instead oh well. good thing the HDD had a cheap sale price :p

[247ownz]

Ok, here's my setup:

PS2 SCPH 50001
Oficial $ony Network Adapter
Maxtor 120GB IDE HDD
HDLoader Version 1.0

Installed 6 DVDROM games and 1 CDROM. Took less than half hour to install all games. Games load at different speeds but all load faster than directly from the game disk. Sweeeetttt!

Hows it goin Mike! Im Mikerocosms from the good old days. I may be orderin one of those HDLoaders from ConsoleSource.com myself very soon.




Tyler!

[frequency]

just out of curiosity could u also play ps1 games from the ps2 HDD using the HDD loader?

[eakinsme]

i am 99% sure that you CANT run ps1 games from harddrive with hdd loader..
PS: you get ur hdd loader in yet?

[Renegade_Playa]

This from Hdloader.com

Can I play Playstation 1 games with HDLoader?

No. Unfortunately, this will be impossible with HDLoader.

[247ownz]

Hows it goin Mike! Im Mikerocosms from the good old days. I may be orderin one of those HDLoaders from ConsoleSource.com myself very soon.
Tyler!

MIKER! How ya doin? It just so happens that an HDLoader made its way into a shipping package today heading to your address?!? Let us know what you think ;)

[RK]

so, worth buying then??

[frequency]

if it only it could let u run ps1 games like resident evil 2, etc on the HDD then it would be kick ass product....but dont get me wrong its still a superb product but if it would let u run ps1 games then it would be an awesome force to be reckon with .....haha :p

[lufcfan]

PS1 games are pretty sh*t now anyway, lol! :)

Lets just say, bigger and better things are now here...

[frequency]

i know ps1 games are ****ty but i think resident evil 2 for the ps1 was anexcellent game in its time and thats why i wouldnt mind having it in the ps2 HDD.

[spedmetal]

Yeah it would be cool, but it doesn’t look like its going to happen, not yet any way, maybe some time down the road as I didn’t think we would see the day that PS2 games would ever be able to play from an HDD!!

[frequency]

yeah...i think we were all the same boat about that issue. and looks like we got slapped acrooss the face......lol :rolleyes:

[RK]

/me orders!!!

[eakinsme]

has anyone here recieved there copy yet??
i am also woundering if it can be backed-up. or would it be safe in the ps2.. i just think that after i get mine i should back it up because i will be mostly using it!! any one know.
also how big is it? (cd/DVD)
thanks a lot..

[247ownz]

No PS1 game support, fails DNAS, no DVD9 game support. However, the HDLoader is still the bomb if you ask me. Storing games on the HDD is awesome, next trip, I'll just talk my PS2 and HDD, not 20 different game disks. ;) I love this thing.

[Zudos]

Umm is this HDLoader ...its like the XBOX where u can just put games on the HDD and run em off there? How would you save them on and is it like a modchip please explain?

[TylerDurden]

Im sure its kinda like the Xbox in which you get to store your games onto your hdd and they load hella faster.

But unlike the xbox, your gamesaves will still be on your memory cards. Plus there is no way to extract your games once stored on your hdd. So once you either fill up your hdd or no longer play your particular game as often you only have the option to delete the game.

Thats why having a modchip is also a good idea. That way if you ever have the urge to play a game without putting it in the hdd you can and still keep that original scratch-free.



Tyler!

[Zudos]

OOh i see thanks alot! It's also just a CD right to install the hdloader?

[frequency]

its now been three weeks and i still havent received my ps2 hd loader. i ordered mine from divineo thinking i would have in matter of days, but its a no go. i have already emailed them twice and they give the same response, which they are moving to a new office and stuff and they dont have enough time to send all their pre-orders at the moment. if i dont get a response soon i think im gonna cancel it and order it from console source instead.

[Joe Momma]

Ive heard that theres been legal actions set by sony against HDLoader retailers...dunno if its true or not..

[TylerDurden]

Yeah I got mine from www.consolesource.com in a matter of 4 days. Thats hella suprising to me.




Tyler!

[frequency]

this is true, but i have sent my money order in about 3 weeks ago and i still havent received my hd loader. im just getting impatient here. :mad:

[Joe Momma]

Got this from ps2ownz.com

****Update: We received a bit more info on this from a victim who does not want to be identified as it could adversely affect his case, but he informed us that these are actual complaints the attorneys for $ony filed in California Federal Court! This goes way beyond what has happened in the past as they are no longer happy with offenders simply shutting down and signing something (C&D) saying you'll never do it again. It appears $ony is now going for damages and more in some cases!

I just received word via phone today that $ony is now sending C&D letters complete with their legal team contacts to US-based Web sites selling HD Loader! As a result, some sites have already pulled the product while one site we are aware of is attempting to fight it. At this point in time there is no comment from the official HD Loader site (perhaps because they don't actually sell it), but I have a feeling HD Loader may indeed become more "homebrew" and less commercial in the upcoming months unless this legal matter gets resolved and $ony loses (doubtful).

As this news is NEW to us even, we don't have a copy of an actual Cease & Desist letter, however, hopefully in the near future one of the targeted sites will post theirs for others to view displaying the exact details. At this point in time, we can only assume the infringement lies in either the fact that HD Loader allows individuals to rent games and copy them to their HDD on an unmodified PS2 console, or perhaps because some copyright $ony code was used in its creation.

[lufcfan]

$ony are a set of t****! ;)

[frequency]

damn...i just wanted my damn hd loader ...but now it looks like im just gonna get "sorry" reply from them and a refund i hope.

Even if this is true, and I have a hard time believing anything commin from Ownz. VCR's allow the same thing. Its not the device that commits the crime its the users.

[EVOEvo]

i finaly got the loader to work with my dms3 chip its a lil tricky to get it working on it i had to formatt the hdd with dms3 formatt tool with auto patch on then use hdd loader with auto patch off then it finaly worked im installing onimsha 3 on it right now as thats the game i been playing lately :) next i will check out the MC version and just see if it works then i dont have to use the bought disk to play with and wont need any disk at all to play my games that will be sweet.

[lufcfan]

or even Tvio i belive dose it with moives
Yeah, TiVO rips movies to HDD...

Then again, so does PSX :eek:

[Warlock]

Hope it isnt true, Ownz is known for being full of it but just in case i ordered one from consolesource.com.

[TylerDurden]

next i will check out the MC version and just see if it works then i dont have to use the bought disk to play with and wont need any disk at all to play my games that will be sweet.


This sounds like your talking about a pirated HDLoader there Evo. Gonna temp ban you for 5 days. Next time you do it, the ban will be permanent.




Tyler!

[frequency]

well as for me after some replies and waiting for about 3 weeks, divineo finally decided to send my hd loader. it should probably be here within a week or so i think. i guess i dont have to order mine from console source anymore. now i just sit here and wait for my priceless asset to arrive....haha :)

[TylerDurden]

Oh and btw Evo, posting as another name will certainly not help you. If you do it again, Ill have your IP banned and we will never see you again. Just wait out your 5 day ban like a good little boy.




Tyler!

[I3igI3ang]

o danmit not here to i had so many ip ban's at newz it was unbleaveable i also had many proxys as well such as the one im useing now ;) which i use on ownz cause the amd there is a gay a** f**k that will ban any one for speaking of the windip prog he stoled and renamed as theres but i still vist the site when i want as i do here cause i found a new site now the mods seem alot better at the job they do hint hint tlyer and the funney thing is on this site theres a guy with the same name as u who sells pirated games so i found a new place to call home so i guess i wont be back here ever again or will i ??? :D

[ottoman]

If u don't like the rules and mods on this forum then why come here so often. Everyone well aware of the rules here. Don't break them an then get all sulky cos u get a temp ban. I think you'll do very well on another forum!

PS. Tyler Durden is very common user name in all aspects of PC stuff. Try going on Battlefield on line. Theres hundreds of em so assuming that two forums with two tylers is same person is just a bit well....dumb??!! :cool:

[TylerDurden]

Im only TylerDurden here Evo, Im Mikerocosms everywhere else. Sorry but you got the wrong idea.



Tyler!

[BigBang]

whos getting all sluky lol im just talking **** and i dont come here very offten any how this site blows as much almost as much as ownz now and tyler preaching all this **** about priated copys but seeing though u bought a legit pressed version of the loader which contanted sony (c) code which is makeing u as much of a pirate as the peps who made a MC so eather way if u got it from buying it or downloading a MC ver ur still a big ass pirate :D thats like if u bought a copy of a game u are indeed a pirate but wait the section law says as long as u own the origianl to the copy its ok to buy the copy then this means if i own the origianl loader even though it was made from pirated code's by a couple of ps2 hackers i should be able to own a MC version of the same loader but o well no point in disscussing any thing here i will just take the ?'s to the sites that are not up tight about this and there i can get my help and post my results

and btw otto im not the only one that aussemed that hehe :rolleyes:

[spedmetal]

You will be spanked like the little bastard boy that you are. If that’s scary or not I care not. Why do you come to this forum if you cant respect the mods regardless of if you agree with them or not. Just stay at that other lawless forum that will self destruct soon, and in doing so make this forum a better place then it already is.

In short don’t let the door hit you on the way out, when the mods sees this your history, and who cares how many proxy’s you have they will ban then all fool. So why try just save the silly kid games for the playground on the other forum and stay there.

Ok little boy, this forum inst for your childish amusement. Is that all it takes to make you go away? Damn that’s too easy. So I'll give in to you, yes please stop and just go away. Now lets see who lives up to there word.

Oh and if this is your form of clowning you have a long ways to go. And I aint stooped down to your level cuz I really don’t care to show any one that I’m a badass, it doesn’t matter to me. But I guess it does to you, that’s why your insecure ass has to keep coming back with insignificant insults that mean nothing. Like I said your nothing and will always be nothing, Huh they should have just named you zero.
