1. Play Ps2 Games From Hdd

Best Answer: There are two ways to transfer.ISO file from computer to PS2 harddisk. Method 1: Download the HDAdvance Dump program. Make sure the BB unit is attached to PS2 and the PS2 is connected with computer via cable. 'Press and hold' any key on JoyPad1 and then boot HDAdvance 3.0 on PS2. A friend of mines gave me his YLOD 60GB PlayStation 3 and I was able to revive it back to life. I have a USB PlayStation 2 memory card reader for the PS3 which I want to transfer a game save on it to my USB drive then move it over to my computer so that I can load it on PCSX2 using the MYMC utility.

I recently received a Memory Card that has MCboot 1.953 and I also own a Phat PS2. I would like to use my External HDD to play off PS2 games and possibly PSX games.

I currently use a program known as USB Extreme on the PC which allows me to mount PS2 games and install them directly to the external HDD. I recently torrented a game online but I now have multiple .bin files including a .cue file from the game. I assumed that by using Daemon tools I can then mount the game onto a virtual disk drive and use USB extreme to install that game directly to the HDD. When I tried to install the game, I get a error message saying that the Source Drive is invalid.

My question is that how would I be able to install PS2 games from the internet and transfer it to my external HDD and plug the external HDD into the ps2 and play it from there. Also, would it be possible to do this with PSX games as well?

And if I do own a original disc of a PS2 game, how am I able to rip that game and add that into my external HDD to play it on the phat PS2?

As part of the PS4 system software 4.50 which went live this week, you’ll see that we’ve added the much-requested ability to download and store your games and apps on an external HDD storage device. It’s super easy to set up and use an external HDD with your PS4 or PS4 Pro, but before you get started, this guide may come in useful.

Minimum HDD spec

The most important thing to remember before you buy a new storage device – or try to use one you already own – is to make sure it meets the minimum requirements for use with your PS4:

Connection: USB 3.0 or later

Storage: 250GB (min) – 8TB (max)

Note: There is no guarantee that all USB storage devices are compatible with your system.

Format your external HDD

Most storage devices will be a specific format out-of-the-box (usually FAT32/exFAT/NTFS/HFS). To prepare it for use with your PS4 you’ll need to format it to a special type to ensure it will work:

• Go to the Settings menu from your PS4 home screen.
• Scroll down to the Devices menu.
• Choose ‘USB Storage Devices’.
• Select your external HDD, then choose “Format as extended storage”.

You’ll see a number of warnings that formatting your device will remove any previously installed data, so before you hit ‘OK’, make sure that there’s nothing stored on the device that you don’t want to lose.

It’s also important to note that once you’ve formatted your external HDD to this specific PS4 format, you can only use it for PS4 games and apps – you won’t be able to store screenshots and video clips, saved data, Themes or any other types of media, documents, pictures on it, without re-formatting to its original state.

Once formatting is complete, you’ll see a message confirming that it’s been successful and a small green light will appear next to the device’s name, letting you know it’s activated as the main storage location.

Installing games and apps (and adds-on) to your external HDD/internal storage

Once formatted, your external HDD will be set as the default download location as long as it remains plugged in.

If you want to switch back to your PS4 internal storage for downloads (and back again to the external HDD), that’s easy too:

• Go to the Settings menu from your PS4 home screen.
• Scroll down to ‘Storage’.
• Choose which location you want to download to – either System Storage or your external HDD.
• Press the ‘Options’ button and select ‘Application install location’ to set the target download location – either ‘System Storage’ or ‘Extended Storage’.

Moving games and apps onto your external HDD device

If you want to organise the games and apps that are currently installed on your PS4 internal storage, you can easily move them over to the external storage device:

• Go to the Settings menu from your PS4 home screen.
• Scroll down to the ‘Storage’.
• Select ‘System Storage’, then ‘Applications’.
• Press the ‘Options’ button, then choose ‘Move to Extended Storage’.
• Choose which games and apps you want to move by ticking the boxes that appear next to their names. You can select as many as you like, providing your external HDD has enough free space to store them.
• Select ‘Move’ then hit ‘OK’ to begin the transfer.

Removing your external HDD device

It’s very important not to remove your USB storage device when your PS4 is switched on without properly disconnecting it.

To remove the external HDD, access the Quick Menu by holding down the PS button on your controller, then choose ‘Sound/Devices’ then ‘Stop using extended storage’. Once that’s done, you’ll see a message that it’s safe to disconnect the device from the USB port.

Anything else?

• When your external HDD is plugged in, games and apps will display as normal on your PS4 Home Screen, with the most recently played games appearing first.
• If you don’t have your external HDD connected, the games you’ve played from it will still appear in your Home Screen list and Library – however, they’ll display a ‘!’ symbol to show that they can’t be played until the device is re-connected
• You need to connect the HDD directly to your PS4. A USB Hub cannot be used in between.

So that’s it – no more agonising choices of which games to delete when that hot new title hits PlayStation Store. With up to 8TB supported for external storage, even the most avid trophy hunter should have plenty to keep themselves busy. Enjoy!
