2) Knife Swap? *shudders* That isn't what it sounds like, is it? Knifing a poor little PS2? That's just not cool. So, with either program you need a modded PS2 to read backup and import game discs, no exception? That would make sense, I wouldn't want to rely on console software to cancel the region check on discs. *starts constructing gallows*

3) But you can avoid having to patch for some recent updates for the HDLoader, can you not? This would be a bit more subtle, as some people would not have a mod-chip in this particular situation. Of course, you will not get as many useful patches that you could downloading them, but some people can just brush that matter aside. What's more is skins were never that vital an add-on for any software, and whether or not you have the original format or a custom one is irrelevant.

4) Could you list or link to a list how to do that? If I can get HDLoader to recognize more than 137GB for a HDD I won't have to use HD Advance 2.0 since it's advantage of larger HDD support would cease. Please?

1) once the game is loaded the cd is no longer used

2)yeah knife swap is bad news

3)im sure most people would want to spen the $30 on a mod and patch hd loader themselfs than spend it on an "upgraded" disc

4) Here is where you get the 48bit patch (to use bigger hds) just apply it to the hdl elf file
