How did the project where you converted a 20400 hdd go. I have one myself but I can't get any action from it so I may do the same.

I shucked it and got the cable. https://www.obscuregamers.com/threads/ps2-dtl-t-thread.1172/page-2#post-10471

Be sure it is formatted. If it is not formatted, you can format it using either wLaunchELF (for PS2) or pfsshell (for Windows).
To install games, you can use HDLGameInstaller (for PS2) or hdl_dump/hdl_dumb (for Windows).

Was the ide cable sufficient enough to supply power? Or do I need to hotwire the power cord to it? Also will Ubuntu work for installing the dsnet toolset?

 

[uyjulian]

You need separate power connection.
16.04 Ubuntu i686 should work.

 

[slycooper124]

Ok will the one that came with the hdd work?

Yes.

 

[slycooper124]

Ok, is there a way to test the current drive, i plug it up to the tool and plug in the external power but none of activity lights or drive vibrations happen.

 

[uyjulian]

Drive will only spin up when software that requires it accesses it.
You can plug it into PC, PS2 network adapter, or IDE to USB.

Ok, I have the pcmcia card but I dont have a retail system to run it. There is nothing the tool can do to access it? Alsoif I plug the hdd into my computer and ran winhiip it should work?

 

[slycooper124]

Yea the port is toast and i have zero soldering skills. I have heard i can drop a retail replacement in and it should work, but I haven't tried yet since I dont have a spare.

Yes, you can use winhiip.

 

[slycooper124]

Ok. I'll give it a try.

 

[slycooper124]

im hoping 32 bit i386 16.04 ubuntu will work since i cant find a i686 version.

Yeah, I meant that. i686 was a mistake on my part.

 

[slycooper124]

Ok, its downloading now. Once it finishes, I'll set it up on vm ware and go from there.

looks like a easy soldering job, some flux and it will be done in seconds. I know on PS1 the controller port for dev has a different pinout, but ps2 i think it was like retail.

 

[slycooper124]

Yea i may just drop a retail in since I got no skills and I dont think I have anybody in my local area that c an do the job.
