Yes, I considered that. Unfortunately, I believe that this "great" software should work better the first time. I'm sure I could go through the trouble of taking apart my pc, putting in this hard drive and reformatting it; however, this really only goes to show the level of quality of the product. I understand that software like this will have limitations, but I really wonder what all the hype is all about over a flawed product.

Again, I don't think this program sucks, but simply that it is not as awesome and outstanding as reported here.


After I have some time, I will try to reformat in a pc and update this thread with the results.

Thanks,
Wes

Wess,

You must be an idiot not to realize that HDAdvance is just a copied version of HDLoader. "Better" is what your so called friends call it? Thats just a lame line that the owner of PS2OWNZ tells you. Those fools cant make anything on their own.

Pretty much everyone I know, knows how easy the HDLoader is to get working. If you couldnt do it then maybe you should catch a ride on that bus with the tinted windows.




Tyler!

Opinions vary Wes, but like i said mine has been flawless so i find the overview of this product good stuff. Your opinion has been noted!


I hope you get it sorted and find some good in it for yourself.

@thewessman, if anyone has been mislead its your fiends thinking that the HDadvance is any better then HDloader. All the HDadvance is, is a hacker version of HDloader that has a high TOC so the silly swapping sissy's at OWNZ can use there garbage top units with it.

And it looks like you are the one that is looking for the cure all out of this software. This is all about the DEV scene man, nothing is perfect in this arena and if you expect it to be then you should get out right now.

Now as for a cure, I actually do have some advice for you. Go to the DMS3 web site and download the 'DMS3 HDD format tool'. With it you can erase game pratitions, and even ghost pratitions from a bad install, or reformt the whole HDD with out even removing it from your PS2.

Hd Loader Compatability
 

I saw a few links for HD Loader Game Compatability list but they all seem to be broken. Can anyone give me the info on a good WORKING link. I'm having trouble with Cy Girls on the HDD and don't know why. Thanks

I know it says for HDAdvance, but it is a clone of HDLoader, and therefore works exactly the same, but hey, that's Ownz for you - those ****s make me SO ANGRY :mad:

'Rant Over'

I figured that.
 

I did see that before, (thought it might be the same thing.) Funny thing is, none of the games I have installed on my HDD are even listed with the exception of RE: Outbreak. The sad thing is that about 97% of the games listed on that site are not working for one reason or another. (Cy Girls wasn't even listed) So I'm still in the dark and a little untrusting of that list. If all those games wont work, why did any of us buy this thing?

That list is not entirely accurate, as my Twisted Metal Black does work fine!
It appears to have a few titles listed that may still work depending on what version of the game you have. My TWB game is from when it was first released. The new version with the online gaming feature is the one that dont work.

Perhaps we need to start a thread for games we have got to work so we know what really does work rather than going by this cloned crap list.
I will prepare a list of the ones I have gotten to work however I do still have some left to install so I will wait til I get them all done to post mine. If my kids will give me time to finish them. :p The lil gamers love it big time.

*sigh*

Ahhh another one. Well the list of games that don’t work is actually a very small percentage of the games that do, so the mass of us realize this benefit and don’t see the list of games that don’t work as a draw back in the slightest.

Ok thats enough. People need to read up on things instead of blindly (and stupidly) making posts that have already been answered. This review is OVER!
