Well guys, the HDLoader is out.
The site I pre-ordered from just started shipping and so did other online stores. They haven't shipped mine yet though.
Ok, here's what's going on:
- loading times greately decreased.
- if you have an umodded ps2 you can only install original games. if you have a mod you can install backups, imports, etc. -> hdloader lets the ps2 authenticising (spelling?) the discs, so you if you got a mod you'll get around the protections.
So, sorry to the unmodded guys but HDLoader is not the answer for your probs.... if you want to play WE you have to get a modchip.
==============================================
I for once am happy. My ps2 will never see a backup again. No more wasting laser on copied WE's. It'll be playin patched vers off the hdd.
