HDLoader is looking like a waste of money

 

[jumbo]

What about backups with a non moded ps2.

no.

 

[jumbo]

fuck, i can't seem to be install any backups / imports on my sony hdd. i have dms3.

god fuckin damn it.............................. ????????????????????????????????????????

yeah, the originals install. great, i don't care. i don't play them. damn.......

i don't wanna buy a new hdd.

 

[ashmufc]

Shit, very abd news.

 

[jag87]

The shit has hit the fan!

 

[ashmufc]

= HD Loader!!!

 

[jag87]

Lets not digress to other subjects hey Ash?

 

[jumbo]

lol. turns out you can install backup / imports. you just need a chip and a 3rd party hdd.

yes, it's been confirmed by the people that have the software that that shit works with non-sony hard drives.

i'm on my way to pick up a segate or a matrox. lol, i take back what i said earlier. desperate people do desperate things.

WE here i come!

peace all. sorry for da confusion.

 

[ashmufc]

What website did you get that info. I have been looking around in may HD Loader related forums and no one has told me anythin about this.

 

[jumbo]

i was told this by www.modchipworld.com who were testing the HDLoader on a Segate.

and by another user from divineo.com who has Magic V (chip) and matrox 120GB hdd.

that's 2 people right there.

 

[jag87]

So I guess its confirmed. You need a modchip to use the HDLoader on Backups!

 

[jumbo]

well, i'm bring some bad news peeps........

bought a 120GB drive and i still can't install no backups / imports.

looks like a no-go. at least with DMS3 and at least for now. spend your money on something else until we get a fix or someone finds out how to do it.

and before you ask - yeah, my chip and the hdd both work correctly. i know because i just installed the original we7 on the new hdd (not via hdloader but in-game thingy)

so unless you're interested in copyin originals... i have to admit that the originals that i installed worked very nicely. i have a fast hdd and they load ultra fast and you save the laser of course.

well.............. lets just sit tight and wait.

 

[Mumpleaser]

What a load of bollocks! Could you install the WE7 original with HD Loader?

 

[razor]

maybe its because you have a dms3. can someone try it who hasn't got a dms3.

 

[razor]

wouldnt sony ban this as ppl could just borrow games off their friends and copy them to the hdd. or buty them and then return them. its worse than downloading games. its easier and takes less time.

 

[Mumpleaser]

It's great! I've got it working and I think its the best thing that's ever happened to the PS2. I have now installed 'HDLoader lite' (which can be dl on DMS3's own website) onto my memory card so that I don't need the HDLoader disc everytime I want to access the HD. I just hold down :triangle: and instead of HDD Explorer I go staight into the games list on HDLoader lite. Nice!!

 

[ashmufc]

That's great news for you. Does HD Loader suppoert Messiah, even ehen you put the chip on sleep mode?

 

[Mumpleaser]

I think it supports all chips but if you want to install copies you MUST have the chip active. I don't want to go promising anything when I don't know for sure, but I think HDLoader supports all mod-chips.

 

[Lami]

oh btw mumpleaser, the chip must be active EVEN if the games r stored on HDD?? without usin the cd ofcourse..

 

[jag87]

You dont need a chip to use HDLoader as it says on the FAQ on HDLOADER.COM - AshMufc posted something on how to use backups on HDLoader - However this is yet to be confirmed or tested.
