[sammargh]

Hi! Request to be added to the October list. Thanks!

 

[ThisGuy]

I got my dongle. Excited to give it a try but may not be able to play until weekend.
Thank you again for making this happen

Some of us are trying to understand what is going on with the SC2 Memory Card.

Does anyone have any inside knowledge regarding how we can initialize this card ?

... nothing in setup

About the only thing I've seen discussed publicly is that the card is special to SC2 specifically and all attempts at poking it (i.e using a ps2) have rendered cards useless.

Yep, if you insert this in a PS2 you might be lucky and get the offer to format it and say no but if you are in a game ...

And to reset the card just go to SETUP-DATA ALL-CLEAR, then next time the system boots the card will be cleared.

I have a Japanese SC2 dongle but no disk to go with it - any use to you?

 

[skate323k137]

I offered up my SC2 dvd, dongle, and memory card. I'm hoping the memory card is easily copied, as the one I'm sending for Brizzo to look at should be completely unlocked.

thanks for that !

no worries dudes. It looks like a ps2 card but to be safe I offered it for an expert look. Fair trade, so I'm happy regardless.

 

[Halaga]

I'd like to hop on the list of people hoping to get one after the initial batch goes out, please.

I'm in too

Got my multi today in the trade, hoping the memory card and SC2 dongle gets to brizzo as quickly.

Going to test this out with a couple games!

[Darksoft]

Get better, mate. and try that multi out and let us know how you like it.

Got mine yesterday, had a quick go, what a fabulous bit of kit. Thanks to all involved with making it happen

So far I've been lucky with dual layer dvdr disks, All I had to hand.

Anyone had luck with any particular model of IDE to SATA adapter for HDD games? I really don't want to over write my last working IDE HDD's repeatedly.

Bonus points if SATA SSD works with the IDE adapter.

Other thought, IDE CF? 128GB card might work for 80GB HDD (Fate Unlimited Codes) if the 2x6 allows. No idea if it would work, but it would be nice. I don't want to buy an expensive large CF card though unless I'm pretty sure it will work for this. If the old sandisk utility still works I have a host system to set the CF bit to show the card as industrial/hdd and not just removable.

Haven't tried this on a 256 but it does work on a Chihiro
used a sata ssd with this adapter

The problem is with getting optical drives to work, an IDE to SATA converter should work for HDD stuff.

Last IDE to SATA I had worked fine in lindbergh but not 256. I'll try some other brands.

Aside from tekken4 type things, I've had good luck with various optical drives in the 256. My personal issue is I'm out of 80GB IDE drives long before I'm out of DVD drives.
