I like the Tron and Blade Runner pictures. Nice job!

What IDE to USB adapter do you have?
I use this one from amazon. It does SATA and IDE. They are pretty widely available at Amazon or NewEgg. Anyone will work. One of these days I should try a 2TB drive since they are pretty cheap now.

Sega 32X for Doom. To this day its the only cartridge I own for that system. Stupid move.

If you only have an ISO, are you burning that to disc, or removing the HDD and hooking it back up to your PC? In terms of compatibility, a few friends of mine have mainly switched over to OPL, which I used for my slim PS2.
For an ISO, I remove the HDD from the PS2 and plug it into my IDE to USB adapter. I run WinHIIP on my PC and select add image. It will then copy the ISO to the PS2 HDD. I then plug the HDD back in the PS2 and run HDLoader.

The internet is good at telling you that you should hate things that you enjoyed and lived with for years before.
It's good that its run by a twelve year old running his dad's old VIC-20 from his bedroom.

I wish I had a basement. Damn cheap California contractors and state earthquake laws.

Why did you guys wake the troll?

That Atari were given a finished copy of Paperboy for the 7800, but never released it. (Still reeling from that shocker)
There was??

I believe my first Nintendo product I bought was a Game&Watch Octopus.

Then you can use WinHIIP to install the game ISO or rip one directly from the real game disc. I've found ripping from the real game disc gives better results but you do want to check the compatibility chart on post 32 for which modes to set per game.

The new hard drive only method I've tried out is using an old 300GB IDE drive on an extra PS2 I have. The nice thing is you don't have to open the PS2 to do a disc swap to get it installed. All you do is format the new drive on a PC with WinHIIP and then install the new disc image with HHDRawCopyPortable. Then just stick the new drive in the PS2 and your golden.
Below are instructions and the link to the image file. The image file takes about two hours due to the slow file server. That file has all the tools you need.

I've made some changes to my PS2 unit. I've redone the hard drive to be bootable. Now I don't need a memory card to soft mod the PS2. A lot of my ripped games will still work. Here is the HDLoader compatibility chart

Who would donate a wiiu? That must have been a ticked off parent to get rid of their kid's new WiiU.

As a kid I loved a8 version of pac-man. Playing with the 500jx was great. Now I like playing the pac-man 4k version.

Someday I will see a ps3 at a thrift store.

There are network adapters for ps2 that will accept sata drives. I've put in a 128gb ssd with my games on it with free mcboot on memory card. Its kind of nice not needing my game discs.

About six months ago I picked up a fz-1 at goodwill for $15. It came with a soccer game. I burnt some CDs for it. Some worked. Some didn't. I enjoyed the system but it reminded me too much of my 486 at the time. The graphics and games where the same back then. I have it on display now but don't play it. It's easier to run the emulator off the computer instead. Never liked it as much I thought I would. Probably because I played most of these games before on my ps1 and 486 back in the day.

Fantastic job there! Now you need to do Barbarian II.

Love the game Bob! I've been playing it through the Christmas break.The speech was a total surprise.

So is there a special ending after you beat all 32 *4 levels?

I agree I think you would be happier with 300-400GB drive. I wouldn't buy a refurbed one either. I usually buy from newegg since they are just a few miles away and its pretty much next day shipping for me. I think you could get a new Toshiba 80gb for about $40 with a google search.
