    While your waiting to pick one up, you can use ESR to run patched images of the games you own. The scope of how to do this though is beyond what the charter permits, as it involves making an iso of your game disc on your pc. Search for ESR Disc Patcher for more information.

    It's only a stopgap solution though, & not ideal at all. Definitely pick up an adaptor, it makes for a nice solution

    Something like this should be fine.

    Edit - this instead, http://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-SATA-Drive-Converter-Cable/dp/B003MQG1UW/ref=pd_cp_ce_2

    So Got a USB/IDE Converter. So now do I need to Rip my NTSC games onto my computer and then transfer them across to the PS2 hard drive via the computer?

    If so, how do I rip them onto the PC?

    Thanks Guys :)

    Can't help you there, as by doing so you have to evade the copyright protection on the disc. That applies whether you own the discs or not, as the disc is protected regardless.

    Have you gotten Winhiip yet? That may clear things up for you...

    Strange, maybe the drive got corrupted somehow by your laptop. Format it again through HDloader, then transfer a game disc onto it via Winhiip. Did you set the drive back to master when putting it in the PS2?

    Phew, ran a scan and repair on the Hard Drive and all is well :D.

    Sorry though..... one last problem, Winhiip is transferring the data too fast and the game is installing, but it is stalling and crashing, is there a way to slow down the transfer rate when transfering?

    Not that I know of, are the jumper/slave settings correct? Have a look about in the settings of Winhiip...there may be something transfer related

    Would anyone have a FreeMC boot save on a memory card that they could copy for me? I could send on a memory card if someone was able to do it. PM me if interested.

    This isn't a Free McBoot request thread. If your looking for the service, please look through the services sticky. If nobody offers it, ask them can they help via pm.

    Anyone who can offer the service should list it, otherwise we get threads hijacked such as in this case

    Sorry about that, it's just I never seen anyone advertising it here on boards until I happened upon this thread.

    No problems there, I see myself nobody advertises it & its their loss really. Its a tough one to call as technically it's derailing the thread, & I also don't want the forum filling up with FMB request threads either.

    If anyone offers this service, can they please list it with their other services
