I've browsed through this thread, and I find myself asking 'why would you need a 2TB drive in a PS2?' I have a 500GB PATA drive in mine, it works perfectly, it's fast (well under 1 minute to the game list in OPL or HDLoader) and I can't imagine how I'd ever fill it with games actually worth having. Hi morpeheous!have you installed FHDB or just using FMCB? If yes could you tell me wich version of software have you used for your setup?.UPDATE.Finally i found the reason I couldn't run anything from the usb.I remembered that Kingston usb thumbs gave problems. Mine weren't kingston, apperently, but i wanted to check for sure. So i recovered id of usb thumbs.
They were kingston rebranded. Changed with a PNY and everything worked on first try.Thanks anyway for your advices, shaolinassassin! Click to expand.What on earth is your problem with me?And for the record, this guide is actually still the best way of doing things as far as I can tell, because wLaunchelf 4.43a doesn't even format the hard drive correctly.
It only creates an mbr partition instead of all the required ones. I don't get why you're so hung up on whether we use officially supported Unofficial Launch Elf or the Doubly Unofficial Launch Elf versus an unofficial branch of Unofficial Launch Elf. I thought I made it clear in the first post that all I intended to do was to explain a method that I've found to work reliably and with few problems, not that there's some perfect way of doing this and that I have it. At the very least I still haven't seen anyone else put together any guide on this subject. Click to expand.I wonder if HDLoader is slower? To get from power on to OPL takes me about 60 seconds, maybe slightly more, after about 600 game installs. I think some of this actually has to do with my spin-up time, but the inner workings of all this is a mystery to me.Now that I've been playing games on OPL long enough to fill my memory cards I find myself looking for a solution to backup memory card data to my PC.

You can use FTP to backup folders to your PC but they are all named BASLUSXXXXX or the like to match their disc names, so you need to refer to something like OPL Manager to figure out what is what. There are a few programs that allow you to visualize these folders as they show up in the Ps2's browser but they're mostly designed around editing files for emulation.I've found that when using Ps2Net in the Misc section of LaunchElf, the most useful FTP program to use is actually Total Commander. It is the only one I've had 100% success rate with so far. Flashfxp may have more nice features, but it seems to only connect to the Ps2 about 1/4 times I attempt to. @ GUILTHey mate - I registered on this site just to post this message of thanks for your work and guide - I was pulling my hair out for about three days trying to get my 2Tb 'ex-Sky box' hdd fitted and working and now I have, after thankfully coming across your guide which appeared on a Google search page. I know you're aware of some issues so I'll try not to repeat them through gnashing teeth lol. I'll just let you know how I am doing so far based on your guide and information!So far I got the 2Tb fitted, formatted - I followed your advice on partitions/folders and FreeHDDBoot.
Hi everyone,Just signed up, specifically to bring this thread back to life a bit I'm about to embark on this setup, I have all of the hardware ready. But the one thing that I have not found info about, is booting from a memory card vs. Booting from the HDD. I have a memory card ready to go, and another tutorial (for a smaller size HDD) on Youtube said that booting from the card is much faster than from the HDD.I'm planning on filling up the 2TB with games, my question is: has anyone tried using a card to boot everything up? Stick with FMCB on the card, set it to automatically load OPL from the card (I think you can do this?), and then see the games. Does it speed anything up, or slow down, or something else?
I'm not worried about running out of memory card space - I have a second card available, and I won't end up with too many save games on there, I don't usually keep them for long after beating the game.Any info would be greatly appreciated!

It's hard to see what's best for yourself when you're invested in a relationship. It's not always easy to remember who you are and what you want.You can start to lose yourself and forget to make yourself and your happiness a priority.There is a lot of sh.t we put up with because the pain certain relationships bring us is less intimidating than the pain of letting go of the person you love.There's nothing wrong with admitting a relationship has run its course. Even if you can't conceptualize your life without that person, with time and distance, you'll be able to see the relationship for what it was: toxic as hell.
1. Passive aggressionThe whole 'I hate it when you do that, but I'm just gonna keep it to myself and throw you shady little side glances' thing is unnecessary.Once you're not comfortable being direct with your SO, you've lost that bond on which your relationship was initially built. Jealousy and the blame gameWe're all only human, so jealousy will happen on some level.
But, excessive jealousy is never okay. If you don't have trust in a relationship, you literally have nothing worth holding on to. 3. Criticism and contemptNo one is perfect, and the closer you become with someone, the more conspicuous his or her imperfections will become.
There is nothing wrong with criticism that comes from a positive place.When criticism is used as a channel to express contempt or disdain for someone else, it can make the other person feel unvalued and worthless. It's hard for a relationship to come back from that. Arguing without communicatingWe all know that yelling over each other won't get you anywhere.It's natural to get upset and argue, but if there's no exchange of communication and neither party conveys why he or she feels how he or she does, nothing will be solved. Negative energyFeeling uncomfortable or tense around someone is just your body reacting to the negative energy surrounding the two of you.Negativity can drain you mentally, physically and emotionally. We're forced to deal with this stuff, but your SO should be a reprieve from that type of stress.
Avoiding each otherAt the bare minimum, you should be able to tolerate your SO's presence. If you can't even bring yourself to be around him or her, you should really just call it quits. You're not yourselfChange will happen regardless. When you're in a relationship, even if you both change, you should be going in the same direction.If your relationship changes you, it should only make you a better version of yourself. If you feel like you're losing yourself or you don't recognize who you are anymore, it's not healthy. Feeling like there's no pointThere is a difference between staying in a relationship because you're comfortable and staying because you truly want to be there.If you feel like your relationship isn't going anywhere, why waste the time? That's time you'll look back on with regret, but that you'll never be able to relive.
You only think about making him or her happyOnce you hit your 20s, relationships are a trial run for marriage. You should be able to see potential in spending the rest of your life with your significant other because if not, what's the point?You should want to make your SO happy, but it should be a two-way street. Your happiness should mean his or her happiness and vice versa.If you're constantly trying to make them happy, but you're not getting anything in return, then something in the cycle is disjointed. Happiness should be mutual. You can't seem to do anything rightOnce you get to the point where you feel like everything you do upsets him or annoys her, and you're tiptoeing around in your own relationship, you need to understand that you aren't the problem.There is something with which your significant other is unhappy and he or she isn't communicating that to you. Until he or she is honest with why he or she is really frustrated, nothing you do will seem to be enough. Growth and change are seen as negativesRelationships have to evolve in order to last.
The whole 'why can't things just stay like this' mentality isn't conducive to a long-term relationship.At some point, someone will want more. That's not a bad thing, but both parties must be on the same page. There's nothing wrong with taking the next step; doing so is a sign of maturity. Reminiscing on the beginning instead of looking toward the futureMemories of the honeymoon phase are not enough to sustain you. You can't relive the past.
Relationships develop, but not always for the better. Fantasizing about what used to be is not living in reality.
You're just not happy anymoreWhat it really comes down to is happiness. You don't have to justify why you aren't happy anymore.It isn't realistic to expect to be happy in every moment of your relationship, but as a whole, this person should make you happier. He or she should make you feel supported and capable of doing whatever the hell it is you want to do.You should know that even though you don't have control of every aspect of your life and things will fall apart, this person gives you stability. He or she helps you rebuild and gives you hope that things can be the way you think they should be.If you don't have that, is it really worth it?
