WinHiip is used to copy PS2 games (which you own) to your PS2 HDD from your PC. As a disc you can use CD's (original and back-ups), DVD's (original and back-ups), ISO's, NRG's, BIN's, MDF's, etc. Supports almost anything.

After starting the application you must select the PS2 drive (WinHiip automatically recognizes the Ps2 drive in your PC and selects it). If you are using a brand-new drive you can format it into the PS2 format. You can also format an existing drive (Remeber formating a drive erases it).

Now you can select an CD/DVD or image file. After you give it the correct display name and the correct game mode you can copy it to your PS2 drive. If you use images it will use the filename as display name (e.g. apeescape2.iso will be named apeescape2 instead of Ape Escape 2). You can always rename an installed game and change the game mode.

It supports drives over 128 Gb (48bit HDL patch) and it can apply (and undo) PPF files (patches) on the installed games. It is way faster than copying within HDAdvance on the PS2. HDLDump doesnt work with a >160 GB drive.

 

Tools Description
Altimit  
Atad.irx File Modification We were able to patch the ATAD.IRX HDD driver file in both foreign (import) and domestic software that originally utilized the official PS2 hard disk drive... so it is NO LONGER necessary! :) However, before getting too excited be aware that modifying the ATAD.IRX driver file will allow you to use a NON-$ONY drive only after it has been properly formatted.
