When I say play off the PC, I mean like how you would use the PS2 HDD.

Basically what im seeing is that I would need an external HD to backup my games, since i have a slim PS2. Which of course I dont have the money for..

Im trying to find alternatives.

IF you have a V14 slim your out of luck, but if you have a V12 or V13 have a look at this.

USB Extreme/Advance is compatible with about 3.9% off all PS2 games which is very low not to mention when booting from a USB HDD on the PS2 games actually play slower then from disc, but yes .... it is an option.

Well...looks like thats out of the question.

So, I guess next option is to find a good disk swap program. Are there any that work without having to use a mod chip?

What im talking about is those Programs where you put the disk into the PS2, it boots up, then you swap it out for a back-up copy of the game.

You can buy the swap magic disc, A few games have compatability problems and some games require patching to load. If your ok with this then go for it but In the end your money will be better spent on a modchip.

Wtf?

3.9% could you provide a game list to back that up? (cough cough liar)
It's not as fast as an internal HD, but it's not slower than reading the disc

but hey believe what you want, least I'm not sellin em!


PS - I like the swap discs too!
