Cool.I’ll have to upgrade to 3.0 then eventually.Is Kingdom Hearts 2 compatitible with 3.0,or does it freeze at the gummy ship levels still(Or do you even play Kingdom Hearts:rofl: )?
98% of games are compatable with it. It is Rare but sometimes one will run into a game that does not work, but it is not often.
Kingdom Hearts 2 is most likely compatable.
As for the mem card exploit, I am fairly sure thats only for those who don’t want to have to buy the Hdavanced discs. I say just buy the discs if you don’t want to go through the trouble of learning the mem card exploit.
You HAVE to buy HD Advance retail or a retail version of HD Loader for the memory card exploit to work.All HD Loader 0.8b is,is just an update that lets you tamper around with alot more stuff,and its compatitible for a few more games that had problems working on HD Advance or HD Loader(The retail version)
I see. Thanks for the information. I had heard about the exploit but never really took the time to check it out for myself. :wonder:

You have to register to download the files btw
Patched HDLoader is your best bet for playing games of the HD.
You can do the memory card exploit with a copy of Action Replay max and a usb flash drive. The only thing you need besides that is any old PS1 game you have lying around to trigger the exploit off your memcard.
As far as hard drive size is concerned, I use a 160gig hd, and I know people that use bigger ones.
kingdom hearts 2 and KOF XI work, I think XI needs a mode switched on to work but it does fine. Shadow of the Colossus works with a patch.
I haven’t gotten NGBC to work.
if you want to transfer games, you can:
a) rip directly from DVD
b) send it over the built in server app
c) put your PS2 hd in your computer and transfer that way (its the fastest out of the 3, it takes roughly 3 minutes to transfer a DVD5)
those methods work with ALL versions/patches of HDA/HDL.
if anyone wants HDA 3.0, I’ll sell my copy because I don’t use it anymore (send a PM).
That’s incorrect, you can use action replay or codebreaker (really any program that lets you transfer files from usb flash drive to the memory card) or you can make an exploit cd that you can run if you use swap magic or if your PS2 is chipped.
Furthermore, you can use the memory card exploit to run other applications (like a Genesis and SNES emulator, ps2 file browser) as well as running patched HDL.
I knew that you could run homebrew apps.,with the exploit.Because of the context of the question I came off incorrect.Thanks for correcting me though.
What patched version of HD Loader does HD Advance equal to?
I don’t have all of the HD Loader updates,but for all reasonable purposes HD Loader 0.8b> HD ADvance and Retail HD Loader.It’s not so good where it becomes a must need.It’s just something really nice to have when you do run into the occasional game that won’t work.
That’s not a diss to HD Advance because you will rarely have problems playing games with HD Advance in the first place.I have HD Advance 2.0 and rarely have problems playing games so I imagine HD Advance 3.0 is even better.
Thanx a lot for that PM Biolink. Im gonna try and get a network adapter from a friend of mine.
Your Welcome and don’t over do it when you start :wgrin:
Hey guys, this might be a newbie question. How do I update my HDLoader to the latest version (0.8b)? Do I really need a flash drive? I used the memory card exploit using Swap Magic 3.6 and it’s working great so far but I just want to update it to the latest version so SOME of the games I got would work.
I know the answer is probably no, but anyone know if capcom class 1, 2, SFA, and darkstalker collection works with .08b?
CCC Vol 1 & 2 works but the others doesn’t.
anyone know if rogue galaxy works? i have the real retial ver in my hands…about to try it out…ive been hearing some rumors about after reaching chapter 7 it freezes or something…anyone have any info?

Basically it’s saying that it does work, those chapter 7 freezes were caused because some group only ripped the first layer of the game when the game is dual layered.
So, if i rip it directly off the retail ver. which, i have in my ps2 right now, ill be fine? i heard this game is on a dvd9, and the full size of the game is like 6 or 8 gigs, but HD loader detects the game at 3.2 gigs or something…is this right?
From what I know the retail version of HD Loader will only rip the first layer, only the patched HD loader and HD Advance will rip both layers.
Fuck. what do i need to get to fix this?
