I actually have several questions. I currently have the most recent Free McBoot running, and was ripping my PS2 games directly and noticed that it is VERY finicky about actually completing the rip.
So... I decided that I want to just transfer my .iso sets to the hard drive using WinHIIP.
I decided I am ditching the old IDE hard drive, and going with a modern solution using a SD to IDE adapter.
Problem is I am not sure exactly how to do this using WinHIIP. So here are my questions.
1. Do I first format my hard drive, inside the PS2 with Free McBoot, then connect to PC and transfer my files?
2. All my files are named in I assume catalog format. For example, "SLUS01345.iso". Can I rename this file, for example, "VictoriousBoxers.iso", or should I just make a Victorious Boxers folder, and place the catalog named file in there?
3. Finally, where exactly do the .iso files go on the hard drive? In the root? In a folder named after the game, in the root? Do I need a ROMs folder??
