Oh man, I've got a 300gb drive with hdloader. There are maybe 30 games on there and it takes a good 5 minutes to boot hdloader. I can't imagine how long it would take if I had 1.5 tb of games.
reboot to fmcb again
ule 4.43a <--- HERE

I should really update my ps2. The last time I did, I believe the year was 2008.
Also, should I invest in a network adapter with sata? Mine is just ide, the original ps2 network adapter.
Forget this guide, FMCB and uLE versions that you are using have NOW official 2Tb support...

I reformatted my drive and reinstalled everything. Hdloader loads great. Under a minute, for sure.I wonder if HDLoader is slower? To get from power on to OPL takes me about 60 seconds, maybe slightly more, after about 600 game installs. I think some of this actually has to do with my spin-up time, but the inner workings of all this is a mystery to me.
I believe the aim is to have all games.Slightly off topic, but to anyone setting up a 2TB HDD for their PS2 - what games are you guys filling it up with?
Hi everyone,
Just signed up, specifically to bring this thread back to life a bit I'm about to embark on this setup, I have all of the hardware ready. But the one thing that I have not found info about, is booting from a memory card vs. booting from the HDD. I have a memory card ready to go, and another tutorial (for a smaller size HDD) on Youtube said that booting from the card is much faster than from the HDD.
I'm planning on filling up the 2TB with games, my question is: has anyone tried using a card to boot everything up? Stick with FMCB on the card, set it to automatically load OPL from the card (I think you can do this?), and then see the games. Does it speed anything up, or slow down, or something else? I'm not worried about running out of memory card space - I have a second card available, and I won't end up with too many save games on there, I don't usually keep them for long after beating the game.
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
