PS2 HDD/HDD loader (Wild Arms Alter Code thread O-T)

well, behind it, inside the ps2 itself. the hdd is attached to the Network adapter though, so you'll need it anyway.

 

Well, if you only want to use HD Loader / HD Advance, and install only PAL games, i don't think you'll need to mod the console. But if you want to install NTSC|U/C or NTSC|J, on your case, you'll need a modchip yes.

If you want to install the HDD Utility Disc 1.0 (Browser 2.0 that lets you make backups of your PS1 and PS2 saves, and install cache of the games) you need a modchip with that ATAD AUTO PATCH feature.

If you have any more questions, post them. If i don't know the answer i might try to find it for you.

PS: Yes, the HD connect to the NA, and the NA connects to the PS2. The NA is a bridge to connect the HD to the PS2.
