THE MAGIC BOX SAID:

Divineo announced a new unofficial PlayStation 2 software called HD Loader, which allows you to install and run your PS2 CD and DVD games directly from a hard drive, effectively cut down the disc access time of games.

HD Loader is also compatible with both Sony's 40GB HDD and third party hard drives, you can choose a hard drive from 40GB to 120GB and install it in the hard drive bay behind the Network Adapter.

There are a few drawbacks to HD Loader, first it does not work with PSone games, second it is incompatible with DNAS (Dynamic Network Authentication System), therefore you cannot go online with a DNAS enabled game. So you still need to run all DNAS enabled game from the game discs.

A small number of games are not compatible with HD Loader, such as Resident Evil Outbreak, MX 2002, Peter Pan and Ratchet & Clank.

hey Baseley this is totally off-topic but you're in the UK right? I'm drinking Ruddles County right now, "A Classic of English Brewing", and i'm curious how it's regarded.

Sorry for the spam. But on topic, anything that cuts down on load time=good. Now who's got teh burnz?

Is loading an issue still, nowadays?

Omg, on PS2, it continues to get worse with each newer, bigger game. Thats not to say I won't still play Killzone though.

Heh , I don't see Ruddles around much these days, they used to have a hilarious Ruddles song thing in their advertising. From what I remember it was ok, though i'm not much of a real ale drinker.

BTW I did a tribute to your great ava/sig and Download game in the Shooters thread, nice choice;)

Hey dudes, I think the big idea is mos def imports/burnz/rentals dumped on HD fo free. Nice.

Wait, wouldn't this allow people to download burns onto the HD and play them without worrying about a modchip?
