    PS2 Cannot format 1TB SATA HDD using WinHiip

    Thanks guys. I have a WD20EZAZ on the way, I will attempt it all again as described and see what we get. Although, first... Is there any known size limitation to the +OPL partition? I want to go overkill, seeing as it can't be resized after the fact. I'm tentatively thinking 10-12 GB. _...

    PS2 Can not get VMC to work

    Sorry to "double post", however I cannot edit the other. I keep seeing mention of "enabling" VMC. Is there a special (global?) setting for that somewhere that I'm not seeing? I am also seeing mention of perhaps having to do something to the .CFG files? (Or, when you set a VMC in game menu, is...

    PS2 Cannot format 1TB SATA HDD using WinHiip

    Install your HDD into the NA and PS2. uLaunch.ELF > MISC:/ > HDDManager > R1 > Format HDD. And I don't know if this will apply to you or not, but I "expanded" the +OPL partition (as was recommended; ~4GB) and this has evidently killed VMC (Virtual Memory Card) for me. I'm now looking at the...

    PS2 Can not get VMC to work

    I wasn't sure exactly where I should post about this, but here goes (apologies if this isn't the right place). I cannot get VMC to work. I still have FHDB at 1.953 but FMCB at 1.966 (both Noobie packs from here). I have attempted to use VMC via both and neither are working. The file is...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Thank you for that. I'll give that one a go if the other falls through. Wild how this network thing works on these, never in my 20 years of computing seen the like ... totally ghosted and looks like its not connected lol. But HDL Dump Helper GUI 2.3 certainly sees it (router absolutely doesn't...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Alright, thank you. I have installed FHDB, expanded +OPL to 4GB and I have changed the IP to 10.0.0.2 in both uLE and OPL (but amber light on its router switch port persists, not seeing it anymore on the router either; no idea why not, all network and share settings are what they need to be on...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Yes, I hopefully intend to install the games via Network (don't want to handle the HDD too much, last thing I want to do is blow a fuse). I actually don't have a USB > SATA available either, I'd have to keep popping it into the desktop and that's a hassle lol. So I'm seeing that both FHDB and...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Well... I've tried the adapter's ethernet on both of my two routers (one MAC address filtered - the 10.0.0.1, the other not - the 192.168.1.1), several different (known working) ethernet cables and nothing. But the HDD works, spins up, formatted and all. I don't understand. Is there a special...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Phew, sorry for the MIA guys I got pretty sick for a bit there and then waited fruitlessly for Amazon to get a WD10SPZX in stock... didn't happen... had to ultimately go with a WD10EZEX. So I have installed it and have formatted it with uLE (looks good). Actually kind of glad the 2.5" didn't...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Sure enough, the issue was with ARMax. I have managed to get two more cards off of the eBay card (one multi, one cross-model). One of my red cards flat out would not take any installation type of FMCB so think it's close to EOL (it's legit unless WalMart was selling bootlegs back in the day...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Thank you, I would really appreciate it. I have ordered a 1.953 genuine card, should be in on Monday. Yep, endless black screen after attempting to play the installer in the media player. I am hoping the incompatibility is limited to ARMax (notoriously USB drive picky) and not the Homebrew...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Howdy. Shot in the dark here, but... I'm having a spot of bother getting FMCB onto this new-to-me SCPH-50001/N. I have thee Action Replay Max Evo, and a 128MB SanDisk Cruzer Mini. It sees all the files (tried both 1.95 and 1.953 Noobie Pack) but it just goes to a black screen. Even with the...
