How to softmod ps2 fat?? Discussion in 'Sony PlayStation 1 & 2' started by Skullbash2000, Feb 11. If you have access to another PS2 console with a modchip installed you could use that to easily install Free McBoot on a memory card that you would use in your unmodded console.

Hard Disk Sentinel offers advanced data protection solution by monitoring the. HD Loader is a program for the PlayStation 2 video game console which allows users to play games installed on the optional hard drive peripheral via PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor. The games can be copied to the hard drive from within the program, or by using a computer with image dumping software that outputs to a specific custom format.

Recently, my fat PS2 console decided to stop working (ordered a replacement power supply to fix it). While looking up info regarding that fix, I came across videos on how to soft mod one of these, utilizing the HDD expansion and network adapter. When I bought this console (used) it happened to have the expansion adapter, just no HDD. This video was the best one I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0m3vc46XnM

As cool as the concept seems I have a few questions regarding it:
-Assuming save files from the ROM games are saved to the HDD, would it do the same for disc game saves?
-Would the PS2 still be backward compatible with PSX games? and ROM files?
-Can save files from other memory cards be transferred to the HDD via the browser?
-is there another way to put ROMs on the HDD other than removing the drive and manually adding them each time?

I figured this would be one of the best places to ask. Thanks in advance!

My Original Project Questions:
Thanks for the help everyone. Those new to thread will see others referencing these as #1-6 in the early post.

______ 9/14/2016 UPDATE: HDD LOADING WORKING ______
See page 4 of thread for more details
I'd encourage you to read through the thread to see my ups and downs, ha! as well as info on emulators/retro ROMS, loading via USB (including retail .isos), and PS2 slim capabilities... but wanted to post proof of concept here and let everyone know I did get retail PS2 .iso files running off the internal HDD (including JPN imports) on a fat PS2 via OPL:
9/26/16: Multiple .iso files loaded & running:
1/8/2017: Below is the new stock OPL skin for 0.9.3. Pretty slick.
______ 1/8/2017 Project Updates:______
1. I did successfully rip a retail game within HD Loader & then load up within OPL.
The transfer typical rate was 941KB to 1000KB per second & it spiked up to 1454KB/s.
A 3GB DVD disc was ripped to HDD in 19 minutes.
For those of you familiar with the oXbox scene. This would be similar to using DVD2Xbox.
2. I upgraded to OPL/Open PS2 Loader version 0.9.3 (from 0.9.2).
There's a default new skin that looks really slick out of the gate. Also, increased compatibility and features reportedly.

OPL Project - v0.9.3 Official Release (link working 1/8/2017)
3. I did successfully use ImgBurn to rip my retail DVD copies of Resident Evil Code Veronica X and Primal on my PC. I tested both after transferring to PS2 HDD. Cut scenes and gameplay ran flawless with OPL 0.9.3.
1/16/2017: HAPPY TO UPDATE THAT RUNNING PS1 DIGITAL GAME FILES within POPStarter APP via USB LOADING IS WORKING!!!
Quick Summary:
You have to create a POPS Folder with the 2 respective app files. You then need to use a desktop app called CUE2POPS to convert your .bin/.cue PS1 file into a .vcd file. Forget using the slick GUI version. This crashed on my Windows 8 machine. Go with the CLI/Command Prompt version.
The folder named 'Crash Bandicoot' you see is the VMC (virtual memory card) directory which will automatically be created by games that support it (after initial boot) for saving your game on the USB versus a mem card.
You have to rename the POPSTARTER.ELF as 'XX.Exact Game Name as VCD File.elf'
Run your correctly named .elf file! and.... wait for it! seriously... after about a 15 count you'll see this glorious logo.
Crash Bandicoot is running great. Including cut scenes.
