I know I thought that was the issue. Until I got my hands on the PlayStation 2 HD Loader disc, and all of a sudden, my games were 'glitch' free, and load times were a thing of the past.
Let me start by explaining just what the HD Loader actually is. Now you can install, delete and manage your games and files on your HDD with just a click of a button.
The simple and intuitive multi lingual user interface allows easy navigation and selection of files stored on your Hard drive. Games are executed at lightning speed and accessed directly from the HDD, no need to insert your game disc. Just launch HD Loader and select the game you wish to play.
The HD Loader essentially turns your PlayStation 2 console into what could be called a portable hard drive. Except that it not only allows you to store the games and the game data on the hard drive, but it also lets you LOAD those games directly from the hard drive too.
And just what does all of this mean for you and me, the gamers? It means that once we've copied the game from the disc, onto any old IDE hard drive plugged into the PlayStation 2, we're able to put in the HD Loader disc, and select whichever game we want to play, a game we 've already put on the Hard Drive.
Using The HD Loader to run your games from a hard disk drive leads to significantly reduced game loading times. And updating as your on a level or load times between a level become things of the past. Never again will you need to endure painfully slow loading times which sadly plague so many PlayStation 2 games. This applies for old and new games alike. One of the things that either Sony or game developers never really 'worked on' was game loading time on the PS2.
Take for example the same game title on either an Xbox or a PS2 console, and if you sat and times load times, you would notice a very big difference between how quickly a game loads on an Xbox especially between levels and how much faster the load times are than that same game on the PlayStation 2.
The reason for this is actually quite simple. The Xbox loads parts of the game data onto the built in, internal hard drive. Because the game data is already on the hard drive, it is essentially ready to 'go' when the next level is loading, and it loads at lightning speeds. What the HD Loader does though, goes even beyond the simplistic level loading or reducing load times. And not just one game, as many games that will fit on to the hard drive you have installed into your PS2.
I won't be writing a guide for getting it for those users with non-Sony HDDs, since it's copyrighted and isn't my work anyway. If you wish to commit a guide for doing that, please feel free to do so! I am now looking out for people to translate the installer. As for those who volunteered to make the translations:Japanese: Unassigned. Although the transfers compare to v0.
