Since it's copyrighted and isn't my work anyway. I won't be writing a guide for getting it for those users with non-Sony HDDs, To be able to fully enjoy all the features of this installer. You will need a working installation of the HDDOSD (Browser v2.00) The copy of OPL that is used may be a little outdated though. Otherwise, the first partition will be accessed. Multi-function devices are not supported.HDLGameInstaller may be installed (copied) onto and can be booted from: A HDD unit and network adaptor (clones MAY work).Supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), for easy set up.Game list can be sorted alphabetically (controlled from the PlayStation 2).DVD9 games are supported from the PC client only, as the CDVDMAN module within the boot ROMs of all consoles does not support DVD9 layer 1.Allows the user to specify the savedata icon to use with the game.Network performance uses the latest ethernet modules from the PS2SDK, giving about 4MB/s.Allows the user to manage games remotely from a PC, over a network.Allows the user to manage games locally on the PlayStation 2 console itself.Installed games can be launched through OPL ('HDD Games' tab).Installed games can be booted directly from the HDDOSD.Installs all PlayStation 2 games from the CD/DVD drive.The software uses a GUI-less version of OPL to emulate the CD/DVD drive. The games could be booted directly from the HDDOSD as if they were DLCs from the PSBBN.

In 2011, some of us had started work on a HDLoader game installer that installs PlayStation 2 games onto the HDD unit for use with the HDDOSD. This means that unlike HDLDump, it's more reliable. It can be used as an alternative to HDLDump, as this software does not use the HDLDump protocol and hence entirely uses TCP for data transfer.

Installed games can be also launched through OPL ('HDD Games' tab).

The HDLoader game installer allows the user to install PlayStation 2 games onto the installed Harddisk Drive, for direct booting with the HDDOSD (Browser v2.00 update).
