Hard Drive Plug-in for PCSX2 (Coming Soon)

News via tehskeen

Nherve has almost finished his Hard Drive Plug-In for PCSX2 a Sony Playstation 2 emulator for the PC. This Plug-In should allow you to take advantage of games that require a hard drive (like Final Fantasy XI) and also let you run applications like HD Loader that work with the drive. Here's his progress report.

"As the title says, you'll have a HDD plugin very soon. I already got my plugin to work, but there're a few issues that I must resolve before releasing. Before, it didn't work, but I was using a size of 2 GBs, when changing to 8 Gbs, it worked (yes, HDD size is selectable).

1 - HDLoader always prompts me for formatting, no matter if the HDD is already formatted. Maybe this is because I don't emulate EEPROM, maybe it's a bug with saves. Any tip will be welcome.

2 - The CDVD plugins don't support changing DVD while PCSX2 is running, so I can't copy any game on my emulated HDD. I think I'll have to either modify an existing plugin or write my own.

But, when these issues will be solved, I'll release this plugin.
Feel free to tell if you think a HDD plugin would be useful or not."
