Anyways install HDAdvance/HDloader in a fat PS2, then you can put the PS2 games safely away.
Lol I already know there is too many games that's why I'm asking for help in deciding.
But think of it as this if you personally had no choice but to pack your PS2 away soon what would you want to play on it before you had to part with it ?

Read my quote above. Then leave just the PS2 console out.


He might want to play with original hardware and software though, or he might oppose emulation.

And this topic isn't turning into a thread on the ethics of emulation.

I guess my question would be why would you pack it away?
It has tons of must play games. Some would argue it has the best, most diverse library of any system ever made.

I think it's very telling that the PS3 is repackaging a lot of PS 2 classics with HD visuals.

Read the first post mostly to save space.
Having so many consoles in my room is getting ridiculous now and many games or updates of games can be played on newer consoles or through emulation.

While I prefer having the actual hardware to play the games on I can make do with emulation in the name of saving space.

I got so much hardware and games now it's taken up my clothing draw space.
I have the older consoles like the Snes, Nes , Megadrive etc all packed away.

Ah it was so much simpler in the old days you wouldn't collect the games because you had an allowance or only got games on special occasions.
Through the life of the Snes I only had 8 games that were my own and the rest that I played were borrowed or hired and any games that I didn't like I would just sell them off.
However now since I have a job and have money with less time to play I've been hoarding the games thinking I'd play them later but the problem is I have so many games and only so much time to play.

So it is time to pack them away as I'm only really playing the latest Wii / Xbox and a fair bit of Emulated games on PC.
Onlive is also beginning to appeal to me because of the space saving aspect.

Btw I'll post my games up after I count them up and see what I've got.

Ps I forgot to mention also playing some Gameboy

That HD loader / HD advance allows one to put games on a harddisc in a Ps2 with harddisc and HDD network adapter. He was not talking emulation. It's like putting a 360 or Ps3 game on your 360 or Ps3 harddisc. Like that he can stuff away all his cases and have all the games ready on the harddisc. It even makes the Ps2 experience better : no loading times... ;)

I actually found it was more like a Ps2.5 after installing that harddisc... :P


I have a PS2 Slim and the HDD will only work with PS2 Fat I have tried it through USB but since the compatability was kind of poor and the games ran slower due to USB 1 I gave up on that idea.
