I found lots of info, but ran into problems. I had to learn how to copy modified images of games to the HD Loader, since it complained about the game not being on a PS2 disc.Ī lot of this was copied from various web forums. These dummy files "push" other files to a different physical location on the CD/DVD, where they are read faster. Several games have "dummy" files on them that take up space on the disc. With the HD Loader, I ran into issues of space. Game load a LOT quicker from the hard drive than the CD/DVD they originally came on. It lets you copy games to a hard drive in the PS2 to play from. One of the coolest programs is called "HD Loader". It allowed you to install other programs on the memory card. The exploit cause some sort of error with the PlayStation 2, allowing you to run a program off the memory card. I then learned about the Memory card exploit. I found out I could copy save files from my PC to my PS2 memory cards. It came with a 16 Meg memory card, and software that let my PS2 work with my 128 Meg USB thumb drive. I ended up purchasing a copy of "Action Replay MAX" to help. It all started with me getting a corrupted save with Soul Calibur III (something a lot of people experience with that game).

I started doing this NOT for piracy reasons.
