    You should be able to play backups with the MC exploit. But only if you add the ISOs to the HDD through your computer. You can't run PSOne backups though.

    I'm not sure I understood the problem you are having though...

    seen as you have the Memcard menu installed you might want to play with something that will work directly from a UMCDR, that being PGen a Megadrive emu for the PS2.

    just build a UMCDR with CDGenPS2, with PGen and as many roms as you can fit, unfortionatly thats the only emu that support UMCDR's unless things have been updated since Ilast looked into the emu's, it was a while back.

    To run just boot to your memcard with a PSX game orig then swop discs (Normally swop as no tricks are needed for UMCDR's with the exploit) to the UMCDR disc and look on the CD using the exploit and select the PGen elf file.

    Sounds like exactly what I need. I have a version1 ps2 and I found out I can't use a solderless modchip on it and there's no way I'm going to chance soldering one myself.
    Just to make sure, to hook up a harddrive you need a ps2 network adapter to hook it up with right? is there anything else needed physically?
    You can hook up a harddrive using the usb port I've read. Is this any slower or cause complications?

    STEP3 question.
    What is shown on the screen when booted successfully? I'm using the swap trick and when I tried it a few times the ps1 boot screen would pop up but without the ps logo, it would just say playstation on the screen with the ps1 sound and then not do anything.

    STEP4 question.
    You say you can now load hdloader using the ps1 disc. Does that mean you have the use the ps1 disc every single time you want to use your harddrive to play a game?

    STEP3 question, guess I'll answer with a question

    did you remember to put the code from the PSX game in the title.db using titleman, before installing it? that would be in STEP1

    STEP4 Question, thats a big yes, the PSone games you put in the title.db will all boot to the memcard, so from then on if you wanted to play one of your PSone games you would have to boot them without the PS2 memcard that you installed the Memory card exploit to.

    STEP3 yep, I created the disc using fftactics. I only see it say playstation with the sound but no logo then hangs, so was thinking maybe it didn't burn right?
    What would it do if it loads correctly? does it show the entire ps1 boot screen or something else?

    STEP4... well I've been switching discs for years in my ps1 with a modcard, guess I can suffer through it with the ps2, lol.

    explain exactly what you done in step 12&3, everything.

    step 4 should boot you into a PS2 memory card menu and bypass all PSX screens from what I remember.

    Ok the creator is here...

    The memory card exploit won't work with PSX games. Remember that. So... what are you trying to do?
