The first step is to make sure that the hard disk drive you intend to connect to your PS2 will actually fit into your network adapter. Check that the IDE and power ports on your hard disk drive properly align with the IDE and power connectors on your network adapter, as shown below. Carefully slide the hard disk drive into the PS2 expansion bay. Just started using Free McBoot w/HDLoader. Confused about basic memory card management. I've finally got an IDE drive and Free McBoot into my fat PS2. I've been able to copy most of my games onto the HDD, and they play nicely with no problems. Loads are very fast, very nice. With free mcboot, when you turn on your ps2, it loads a custom OSDSYS 9the menu you see when you turn on your ps2 without a disc in the drive). If you install the noobie package, you should have the options to go to browser, ulaunchelf, hdloader, simple media system, esr, reload configuration, and free mcboot configurator.

ESR GUI.
It's based on ESR r9b (not yet published, I didn't have time to make proper testing, so most likely it will be released tommorow).
Options:
Launch CDVD - it will launch PS2DVDV/PS2DVD in drive directly (also original PS2CDs) - just as in 'dvd direct/direct off' versions of usual ESR.
Launch App - it will launch application in mcx:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF or mcx:/B?-DATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF, where x - memory card slot, either 0 or 1; ? stands for regional code: E, A, I. Application will gain DVDV reading support (just as in 'mcard' version of the usual ESR).
Launch OSDSYS - it will simply launch OSDSYS, so with FMCB installed, it will relaunch FMCB.
Disable ESR after first IOP reset - does exactly what it means. Just as in the 'off' version of usual ESR.
Use Synchronous Mode - will use synchronous reads, some incompatible games need that. This option saves a lot of IOP memory. This will make the reads to be slower and FMVs sometimes to be choppy. Some games will hate this option and will refuse to work at all.
Spoof Media Type - always returns 'PS2CD' media type to the EE side. It is just a direct followup of automatic media mode patching seen in earlier ESR revisions. With this option, most cd converted games will not need anything else (no patches, etc.) - this doesn't apply to games that are incompatible due to bad conversion (static LBA tables or other protections).
For example:

To play 'Jak and Daxter: Precursor's Legacy', which is incompatible with all previous ESR revisions choose:
'Disable ESR after first IOP reset' (to prevent this game from crashing randomly at cutscenes)
'Use synchronous mode' (to make it work at all)
Now just use 'Launch CDVD' and it will work.
Changelog for the yet unreleased ESR r9b which this GUI is based on:

How To Install Free Mcboot With Hd Loader Windows 10

ESR public beta, revision 9b
* halved memory usage on IOP side (some new games should work, like Melty Blood: Act Cadenza)
* changed once again EE streams (Ape Escape 2, Gitaroo Man, maybe more)
* it doesn't matter anymore if ESR is launched directly from FMCB or through uLE (KYA: Dark Lineage, V-Rally 3, maybe some more games)
* corrected some stack pointer problems on EE side
* some minor changes to make future compiling and management easier (also necessary to simplify GUI version a lot)

Note, that this GUI is nothing more than a test. It's unfinished and most likely has many bugs... but should work fine in most of the cases.

As the years go by, it gets harder and harder to use older home-brew tools. This is totally the case for the PS2 scene as most of it’s tools are from 2008. I just bought from japan “Initial D: Special Stage” last week and it finally came in the mail. Well to my surprise, with Free McBoot and all of it’s ELFs you can’t run Japanese games from the disc on an American PS2. So where does that leave us?

If you have a Ps2 specific hard drive + the Ethernet port installed into your PS2 you can use a few tools to rip backup of your legally owned games straight to the hard drive for play with HDLoader. So I’m going to show you how to do that since the data to actually get this working is scattered all over the place. Also, I won’t be hosting any of these files but I will tell you the exact versions I am using. Just google em, they are out there.

TOOLS/Apps will need:

HDL Dump GUI V2.3 – Window/Linux Application
Ethernet cable to connect PS2 to PC
Open PS2 Loader 0.93 Beta
Window or Linux OS (I used windows 10)
Free MCBoot or some way to load the PS2 apps
HDLoader – for after you install the game you can play it.

PART 1: Setting up Open PS2 Loader (OPL)

I won’t go into details about how to install Open PS2 Loader or how to run it, it’s expected you have that figured out.

How To Install Free Mcboot With Hdloader

First boot up OPL and go to settings. Make sure your settings look like this:

Specifically:

Enable Delete and Rename actions – ON
ETH device start mode – Manual

Next we’ll set up the Network Configuration. Make your Network Settings look like this (we are still in OPL):

For PS2 Network Settings:

PS2 IP: 192.168.10.10
PS2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0
PS2_Gateway: 192.168.10.64

For PC Network Settings:

PC IP: 192. 168.10.64

After this, select “Save changes”, this is important. Now if you saved, you should see Run HDL Server under “Save Changes”. Select it and the PS2 will now start the server. You know the server is working because it’ll show this screen (HDL SERVER Running.. Press [O] to stop):

Part 2: Setting up your PC (Windows 10)

Connect your Ethernet cable to the PS2 Ethernet port and to your PC. Next turn off your computers Wi-Fi and make sure it’s only connection is to the PS2.

Next we’ll need to config your computer’s IP. This is important because without this step the PS2 won’t talk to the Computer. So to do that load your Network connections, right click “Local Area Connection” and Select “Properties“.

Next find in the “Networking” tab the item “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” select it. Then select “Properties“. A screen with various fields should be seen (below):

Now select “Use the following IP Address” button and enter the following:

IP Address: 192. 168.10.64
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 19.168.10.10

Then press OK to save it. This is important that these numbers are exact.

IMPORTANT: Now after you do this, you’re computer should ask you if you’d like to “Make This PC discoverable”, you want to enable this. Without this your firewall will never let you talk to the PS2. That’s it for configuring the PC

PART3: Setting up HDL Dump GUI 2.3

Now that we’ve configured both the PS2 and PC we can load up HDL Dump on your PC.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the HDL Server is running on your PS2 at this point.

Now set your PS2 Ip in HDL Dump to: 192.168.10.10 and press connect. If you’ve done all the above steps correctly you should be able to connect to your PS2 and see this screen:

You also can see your hard-drive’s total space at this point. That’s how you know you’ve connected!

Now under the “actions” section, select your CD drive with the PS2 game you want to copy to the hard-drive. Name it if you want and press “Install” at the bottom. This install might take a few minutes as most games a
