PS1/2 PS2 External HardDrive Compatibility

[Halo-101]

Is it possible to use a normal hardrive for a pc .20gb(i think there called SATA) with a adapter to make it uSb compatibile with OpenPs2 loader 6+? (the adapter issimiliar to theone posed in the link. http://www.apricorn.com/product_detail.php...mily&id=39) ?

thnx in advance.

It mostly depends on the controller that's between usb and the hdd, and i don't think there's a way to know if it will work or not. If you find somebody with the exact same adapter, you get an answer before trying.

Open PS2 Loader should have a higher compatiblity regarding HDDs compared to USB Advance(or what it's called), but some of the HDD compatiblity updates are not included in the public release yet.

Make sure you have the ul.cfg file if its not there then your game will not work

For usb loading you need Fat32 only it will not read games from NTFS formatted drive

well, the performance of games in openps2loader, can be enhance using the network capabilities of the homebrew...

its actually loading faster than USB... but you need to turn on your computer while playing PS2 game on it..
