This new thing my friend is trying.

Well, my friend told me that his brother was trying out this thing where you put a game inside the Ps2, then it kinda..saves it I suppose. It can hold up to 50 games. So you dont need the disks. All you need is that thing (Forgot what it was called) on, and play it just like it is cracked. Hope it works. =P

Umm, the PS2 hard drive? 'Cause if I'm right, they got that 40GB hard drive for it now, I think you can get it with that online Final Fantasy.

Yeah, im pretty sure its that. But im not gonna go get FFXI =) I hate MMORPG games where you have to use money to get an account, like Lineage II. I heard its a great game..just its you gotta pay... =/

Hes talking about a program that you use to fully install games to the PS2 hard drive and play them directly from it, so you dont need the disc. It also can play pirated games.

Pirated as in bootleg?

Yes. I believe you need a modchip for this prog though, dont you?

Not sure, i think its already in the program.

what you need is the hdloader software, a standard IDE (or EIDE?) hard drive, and a network adapter

Hm, interesting. I bet Sony doesn't like that. But, I've already lost two PS2 discs because of scratches, and somethin' like this would have saved me there. Heh.

Haha yeah of course.

You're right, they don't like it. A coworker of mine uses that, and told me that it's about to be history, at least, through the typical channels.
