HDAdvance or HDloader ?

which one shall i use? I should have my maxtor 120GB drive tomorrow morning, so I need to know whether to use loader or advance.

Is it really that much better ?
how will i know which version i have, and which version is the best?

and what exactly is wrong with HDLoader?

thanks guys.

[Demondus]

if you want more answer than that, you gotta search the forums for it bro. It has been discussed to death, HDL = HDLoader all the way.

[oZER0o]

ok, I'm dumping MGS3 to the HD using HDL as we speak. 13%, so far so good.

oh and how exactly do you use WINHIIP ? i have v. 1.7.3 or something, and even if i connect my crossover cable from the PS2 network adaptor to my PC, it WiNHIIP doesnt seemn to recognise that i have a PS2 connected up. all it sees are the 3 harddrives that i have in my PC.

is there a different program i could use, or am i just doing this wrong ?

thanks guys.

external usb enclosure.

[oZER0o]

well...that was specific.....

care to elaborate on this "external usb enclusure" ?

[Demondus]

google is your friend. anyhow bro all the info you seek has already been covered to death, do a search on it and you will find it.

winhiip doesnt have network support (yet) you have to connect your HDD to your PC directly to an IDE cable.

heh, yeah, i found that out the hard way. ive been trying to use this HDL_DUMB, but theres some file you have to launch on the ps2, and so far i havnt found a really concise, foolproof explanation of how to do it.

[spedmetal]

When useing HDL_dumb's network feature you boot execftps on the ps2. However transfering games over a network is painfully slow, trust me I have done it, not to mention it can be buggie at times. Why not do it the fool proof way and install the HDD in your PC and use winhiip?

well i say if your already hooked up via network and you dont mind the wait then use winhiip. --patience is a good thing. thats what i do cuz im mad lazy and dont like to get on the floor to swap the hd out of the ps2 into the cpu--that being said.. that usb hdd hook-up IS the ****, real fast. but i usually start the x-fer over the network late at night watch a movie while it goes over and chill. btw hdlloader--no ???. demondus...you are soooo helpful.
