ps2 slide thingy or flip top thingy ? any good ?
my sister looking at getting a flip lid or one of these new slide thingies as sick of buying original games for £40 a shot and the kids scratching the discs :D do these things actually work ? are they any good for playing back ups ?
RE: ps2 slide thingy or flip top thingy ? any good ?
Personally I wouldnt bother with the swap disc method as its not 100% compatable with all games, I would get a chip installed as it saves alot of time, you just put in the backup and it will run boot up just like the real thing.
RE: ps2 slide thingy or flip top thingy ? any good ?
I wouldn`t bother with a chip, just get yourself a Network Adapter, 160gig drive and put the HDAdvance exploit on a memory card. Load the disk with games and you`ll rarely have to open disc tray again. I got my kids a 160gig drive with 55 games on it (all back-ups of my originals of course) for Xmas and they don`t even know that you`re supposed to put a disc into the ps2!! They think it`s normal to be able to turn it on and select a game from the list :-)
Some people even rent games from a video shop and transfer them to the disk and say it`s cheaper than buying "copies". tut tut.
PM me if you need any advice on it.

Ady P - can you please help me? I`ve been searching and searching for the way to get the HDAdvance exploit on the MC - to no avail... >:(
If you could walk me through it, I would be greatly indebted to you!!
Thanks!!

How have you been trying to do it?
I have an unchipped console and bought a X-Port 2 (cheat device) that has a usb cable that connects to the PS2. I then used PS2Save-builder to create a save and titleman to create a title.db file that lists the PS1 games that it can use to boot from.
There is a tutorial on how to do it using various methods on the ps2ownz.com forums and also on ps2-scene.org forums.
Let me know how you are trying to put the exploit onto the card and I`ll try to help.
