espn nfl 2k5 3rd party hd patch
 

where can i find a patch for espn nfl 2k5 that will let me use a third party hd

there is a PPF hdd-fix patch for this game on that moron's site, you should make a iso and apply the ppf.
I've looked inside the ppf and it replaces 2 entries in the atad.irx, unlike the RE:O & socom II that you need only replace one entry. ;)
