Yep, it sure is TD. I forgot you added it to the UIS

I'm not replying to undermine what the Mod's already said but didn't I already talk to you about this Mrpoope? I suggested the Maxtor Diamond 9 because you can't go wrong with it. Stick with any Maxtor or Seagate, some of the Western Digital HD's won't line up properly with the NA. Get your 300 gig maxtor and you will be on your way.

I've run a few HDs in my time, stick with maxtor, Western Digital are good but you have to do some fab work to mak'em fit. Buy a Seagate if you want, but the magnetic shielding on them sucks. Most computer store name HDs brands are just segates anyway. If you have some old drives you don't care about, like under a gig, hold a magnet up to them, see which ones stick better.

Looks like almost everyone is using HD Loader Except for me..Still in the Caveman Era!

Actually I was Kidding! I had one While Back but for some Games I use Gameshark so I decided that HD Loader had to go..

If all you want to use is cheats then codebreaker v9.0 is compatible with the HD Loader. Just a thought.

Oh Yeah? Hm..Interesting..Thanks for the Idea Dude! Only problem is that I'm so use to GS that I don't see me using anything else..

I'll keep that mind though..Also I heard that Code Breaker is lot Better in someways that Gameshark..

[orion731]

I have a very old version of Gameshark and I haven't seen the new version. However, Codebreaker 9 does have some advantages that may or may not be on GS. You can download code updates onto your PC and transfer them via USB Flash device. That saves a lot of time not having to punch in all them codes manually. You can also transfer game saves this way. The main advantage I see of CB over GS is the fact that Codebreaker uses your Mem card instead of that stupid dongle. I don't know how many times my little bro has lost my GS Dongle thus making my GS Useless.
