Hi all,

I have 2 questions and I hope they are easy ones:

1. Can you play online with a chipped PS2? Any specifications?

2. How can I install an HDD in my PS2?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Many chips you don't have to disable to play online.

Chips such as the Infinity go undetected through DNAS servers, so you can leave them on and play online with your backups. They have to be DNAS patched however, and this is fairly easy to do (it's finding the software which is the hard part).

As for installing a HDD, you'll need HDLoader/HDAdvance (preferably Loader), and a Network adapter. Push the HDD onto the IDE port on the Network Adapter and then click the Network Adapter onto the PS2 through the Expansion bay. Boot up HDLoader, it will format the HDD and away you go.
