Oblivion Knight Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I gave it a go, but it wasn't the easiest of things to set up. Booting games directly from the HDD in many cases introduced a number of framerate issues, especially with FMVs, since the data transfer speeds weren't much better than the USB 1.1 ports on the front. I never tried booting Linux from it, I didn't really see the point in doing so.. (Playing games over Ethernet works much better.. 😇) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Every single PS2 user in my country did that :D, because original discs were expensive, so people were using HDD's for games, piracy i know 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you believe that this is something you can easily do, then I see no need to be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I use an external SD card for my PlayStation 2 , I could install a couple of games on it and plug in it through the SD card port and have access to all the video games installed in it.
