PS2 Games Soon To Be Playable From A USB Hard Drive - Unofficially


Recommended Posts

The Memory 32 memory card is soon to get USB hard drive compatibility, if a new promotional video is to believed. Memento, the producers of the Memory 32, have found a way to boot games from the PS2’s memory card slot without the need for a chipped console. With the new firmware update they claim you will be able to store the games on an attached hard drive and play them directly.

If you didn't know the memory 32 is the memory card that lets you play backups, no swap trick/soldering/warranty voiding necessary.

With hard drive support this thing will be even more impressive.

I may consider this if it works well, having all my PS2 games on a portable hard drive would be like heaven. No more disc swapping :D

Yes this is available via HD Advance/USB Xtreme.

But the PS2 doesnt have an internal HDD, though Im sure you can add one or use the network addapter and compatible HDD.

I guess were used to consoles having a HDD now after both Xboxes and the PS3

This has been available for a while in the form of HD Advance using either the internal hdd or a USB hdd.

Nice didn't know about that product. I wonder if the Memory 32 method will need the official PS2 network adapter though. Probably will.

Methods like this sure beat voiding your warranty.

using an external harddrive will still be limited to usb 1 speeds so loading times may be affected so if you have an old school ps2 it'll be well worth getting the network adaptor / internal drive combination.
