( You can also use another loader like USBAdvance.

Overall, a great little card that makes playing off my HDD easy and adds a bunch of other features that are great to have.Well today I will tell you how to connect HDD or Pendrive to SONY PS2 Slim.
I would suggest putting the games either on your HDD if you install one, or on a CD or DVD that you can plug in as you won't have much room / if any / for any 16-bit system games on the memory card itself. You can easily install any number of emulators on the memory card and load them from there. I guess the HD loader hasn't been updated in a while (on the discs) but the Open PS2 loader is still getting updates for compatibility and so a lot of the later games work flawlessly with it. However, I edned up using the Open PS2 loader that is on there because I found that it has better compatibility for newer games. I bought this to be able to use the HD Loader so I didn't have to worry about always having to boot a disc the first time I power up. The key is to either get an IDE hard drive (which you can find on Amazon for around $50.00 for a 160 gig one) or to hack your network adapter to let you connect SATA drives (which I hear is something a lot of people are doing). I bought this because I have a PHAT PS2, with the network adapter and I have wanted to put my games on the hard drive to load and play them faster. Bought this last month and haven't had a chance to write a review of the mcboot card.
