I saw today that you can buy third party network adapters that support sata hdd. I'm thinking to buy one for my PlayStation 2 Phat SCPH-50004. From your point of view which is better/compatible with OPL? Thanks!
The official is better, obviously. Though i have one of those SATA clone and played many games without problems, i had issues of random freezes playing Ico. This same game never froze using the official adapter.
I understand... That's strange because a friend of mine that is a modder told me the clone ones with sata support have better compatibility. Another thing he said, is much easier to find a sata hdd than ide ones. Anyway, thanks for the info.
I actually upgraded my original HDD adapter from IDE to SATA with a kit from eBay. http://8bitplus.co.uk/projects/playstation-2-sata-hard-drive-upgrade/ Works perfectly and still allows network support too.
This is my setup : http://psx-scene.com/forums/f20/my-ps2-hdd-setup-reading-off-sd-card-adapter-133944/ the better imo
