TUTORIAL WINHIIP


        TUTORIAL WINHIIP


This tutorial is for those who have Toxic OS, HDLoader, and/or HDAdvance. Presuming you use one of these, I am guessing you know how to do the independant exploit, if not PM me and I will explain. Those who use Swap Magic and other applications should void this tutorial and seek others for help. Please read carefully or you may have problems playing certain games. Please also note, this tutorial is also for use with WinHiip, a program for transferriing your games to the PS2 Hard drive..

1. First of all, you should head over to PS2HD's Game List and make sure your game is compatable with your current HD game loader. If it is not, you may find the other loaders over at SKS Apps.

2. Next you will need to download a program to put the actual ISOs onto your HDD so they will be playable. I preffer to use WinHiip 1.7 so click here to download it.

3. Here is the fun part.... Shutdown your PC and remove the PS2 Hard Drive from the PS2. After you have removed it, disconnect the Cables from your CD or DVD drive inside your PC and plug them into your PS2's hard drive. Once you make sure everything is connected correctly, boot up your PC and Open WinHiip. Also note, you will not be able to view the contents of your PS2 HD from "My Computer". It will only show up in Windows Administrative Tools, and the program we are about to use, WinHiip. And if WinHiip freezes on you, close it and reopen it. Depending on your PC Specs it will freeze the first time you run it but after that it will run correctly.

From here on in I will post pictures along with text to help you.

Ok so from here we click "Select Drive" and click the one in the drop down list that has "(PS2)" in it's name. If it tells you that the drive does not posess a valid PS2 Master Boot record, you will need to format your PS2's hard drive. (Note: If you have the PS2 Hard Drive for Final Fantasy Online, you should not receive this message. If you do, your HD is malfunctioning and should be reformatted.)


5. Ok after you're done formatting, or are ready to add ISOs, we click the "Add Images" button. I will be using the currently released, FullMetal Alchemist 3 (JAP) game. Now you have a new Dialog that has popped up.

Ok so now we click "Add Image(s)" again on this new dialog and browse to where we saved our ISO. We click on the file we want and click the open button. It should return to the previous shown dialog and have a list of the files you have added.

6. Now that we have our ISOs selected, it's time to dump them onto the HD. So click start. Another dialog should pop up to rename the ISO and select the proper "Mode" to run the game correctly.

(Most games do not require a mode, however their are few that do. Check on PS2HD's list to see if it needs any modes to run correctly.) Now that we set our modes, and have renamed the ISO for easy game browsing, Click the "ok" button. And you will see this Dialog:

7. A couple minutes later, the ISOs will be installed and all you have to do is click the "OK" button. It will take you back to the main program and show you your list of games.

Shutdown your computer, unhook the PS2 HD, Put it in your PS2, boot your launching application (HDLoader, Toxic OS, HDAdvanced) and select your game from the list. Thats all their is to it. You're all done =)

PS. Dont forget to hookup whatever you unhooked in your PC before you boot it back up.
