For example, gathering the same number of things as conceivable inside a given time, or gathering the biggest thing conceivable. Different missions have more particular gathering rules. The normal mission given by the King of All Cosmos is the “Make a Star” mode, where the player needs to become the Katamari to a particular size inside a given time allotment. Animals, for example, felines will pursue the Katamari, thumping things from it.

This permits slim articles, for example, pencils, that are longer than the Katamari is wide.

The game utilizes size, weight, and surface zone to decide whether a question will adhere to the Katamari. I don't think this is necessary if you boot from a FMcB memory card.Objects that are smaller than the Katamari will stick to it when the player comes into contact with them, while more prominent items can be obstacles crashing at fast with any may make objects tumble off the Katamari, abating the player’s advance. You have to boot the appropriate one for the rip to work right. The "real" version of HDLoader comes on two discs, a DVD and a CD, because of some weirdness with how the PS2 OS deals with disk sizes. Also, WinHIIP can apply patches for games that need them (such as FF12). Trying to rip Katamari Damacy on my PS2 reports reports 16 bad sectors, and they take forever to "read". You should really use WinHIIP on a PC for ripping, with your drive in an external USB 2.0 case. The transfer rate when I last tried it was super slow though, but it was on an old machine that had problems - I haven't tried it on my more modern desktops. I'd pick up a nice 200 gigger (The older HD loader apps had a limit on how much space it could address, the newer versions fixed this I think) You can also use one of those USB -> hard drive (Sata/Pata/laptop) adapters - they are about $40 or less. The other problem is that PATA drives are slowly going the way of the dinosaur. I've kicked around using a removable hard disk tray to keep me from having to tear my computer apart every time I want to load games. (Played Digital Devil Saga 1&2 this way - I'd hate to think about the wear and tear of 160+ hours of game time would be on my PS2 ) There are dated compatibility lists out there too, just do a googley search and it'll get you started. However, it's a glorious thing to use to play RPGs on. I've noticed that typically streaming video and sound will get munged up. It still doesn't guarantee flawless use, but most games will be serviceable. The yellow light typically indicates that the hard disk you have in your PS2 is being accessed.Īs for loading games, definitely just use winhiip (SP?) and do the copies this way. During game installations, that yellow light never came on, BTW.Īre there some games HD Loader cannot work with? The 20 GB Seagate drive is reported as having 16 GB free and 18GB total. HDLoader formatted my drive in about half a heartbeat. screenshots, or other images (cover scans, disc scans, etc. Amiga ROMs (2539) Atari 800 ROMs (5488) Atari ST ROMs. I've read that HDLoader isn't the best way to install games, but I firugred I'd try it since I don't have to tear any computers open to load up PS2 games. NGPC ROMs (77) PSP ISOs (2907) PSX2PSP ISOs (1302) WSC ROMs (90) Computers. The game disc says "DVD ROM", but it's got a blue back and HD Loader reports that it is 621 MB. It said there was an error reading the game disc. HD Loader refused to install Raiden III to my hard disk. I had a small hard disk when I had the Game Shark. I was running ulaunchELF today and transferring files from the USB stick to the hard disk, and that light was flickering like a disk access light. I thought maybe the Game Shark I'd had a couple years ago put it into diagnostic mode. My SCPH-30001 has a yellow light inside which I thought illuminated when it was in a diagnostic mode.
