I recommend using HD Loader combo with Network adapter for the IDE and large hard drive (3.0+ will work with over 200gb hd). copy games from computer to the hard drive unless you have patience for the ps2’s drive using special utility. I use WinHiip program. Now don’t misplace the HD loader CD like I did:bigthumb:

play japanese games like I do, but not all games will work.
