After a five week wait! :mad:
Since my only spare HD with no data in it was only 16gigs, I used that even though it recommends 40gigs.
Well, the only game I had within reach and with a lot of load time (think of 20 seconds to load a game) was my wife\'s game "The Sims : Bustin\' Out".
It used 2 gigs of space and took about 12 minutes to install. Load times are now about 3 seconds long however, it still saves to the Sony memory and that still takes a while.
WARNING : I had a Western Digital 200 gig hard drive I tried to install but the power socket and pin socket were too far apart for the Sony Network Adaptor. The HDD Loader manual (which was in 4 languages and plenty of pictorial aids) had Seagate hard drives in their photos. I\'m assuming that Seagates and Sony HDD will fit perfectly to the Network Adaptor.
I\'ll load up MGS2 later tonight. I will also try to install a PSX game and see if it works.

Earlier:
"A note to users and distributors:
It has come to our attention that HDLoader has been counterfeited by a company in Hong Kong and is being passed off as original. Any company who purchases and then distributes such copies will be the subject of immediate legal action without the opportunity to simply desist selling. We have a zero tolerance policy on this issue. We regularly make samples purchases from all distributors. Those selling any counterfeits will be contacted by our lawyers without hesitation.
HDLoader will offer an upgrade service in the future whereby users can obtain a newer version by returning HDLoader together with a handling fee to us. We will not offer such service on counterfeit discs, be warned!
If you have purchased a fake copy of HDLoader, we advise you to seek a refund from your vendor and purchase a legitimate copy from one of the official distributors listed below so that you are eligible for the update service mentioned above."
Maybe it´s Sony, maybe not... there are other ways to get it... ;)
BTW: Here you can search for a HDD that works: http://ps2drives.x-pec.com

My Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow doesn\'t work. Prolly coz of DNAS. HD Loader won\'t work with games that have this.
PSX1 games do not work with HD Loader.
