HD Loader/network Adapter + We9 Questions

[davejm]

Hi guys...

Can anyone advise me the best/cheapest place to get the latest PS2 HD Loader software(PAL) and PS2 network adapter?

Also, does Winning Eleven 9 work with the retail HD Loader? I heard there's an updated version of HD Loader on the net, but I don't have a chipped PS2, and I don't wanna fiddle using the slide method - or whatever it's called.

Cheers.

HDAdvance 3.0 is the newest revision of HDLoader.

http://www.hdadvance.com

It's actually a lame rip-off of all the homebrew updated HDLoaders avaliable on the net, but whatever, it works on an unmodded system.
On the official page above, go to 'Where to Buy', there are some UK retailers on there.
Make sure you get 3.0.

According to www.ps2hd.com , WE9 does work, though you have to enable 'Mode 3' in the HDAvance game settings.
Though to install import games on an unmodded PS2, you must connect the HardDrive to a PC and install them using WinHIIP. This is less strain on your PS2 laser anyway.
