NO MORE Hdloader????
 

www.hdloader.com <--- check it out yourself :confused:

EDIT: now the website is totally gone :( . The domain name is up for sale?

I just saw that too, was about to go buy one :confused:

This is the only place I know that still has them. Ive just talked to the owner and he says "Buy them while you can."

Tyler!

anyone know of a british supplier that still has them?? was gonna order from divineo.co.uk this week!! dammit!!

Just mailed a known suplier and they still have them in stock but stopped the sale because they don't know what's going on right now. Untill further notice they won't put them back up for sale. I doubt it will come back:( And i'm not going to support HD Advance as it's just a stupid clone off HDLoader suported by ownz (who i think is behind the HD Advance anyway).

Now this sucks.

Sites that are still up:
Canada - http://www.hdloader.ca
Australia - http://www.hdloader.com.au
Germany - http://www.hdloader.dk

And
United Kingdom - http://www.hdloader.co.uk/
Not sure if this one has any thing to do with HDLoader for the PS or not.

It seems only the US Site as been pulled. Hopefully they are just going into hiding until Sony gets off its power trip. Is there really a PAL and NTSC version of HDLoader? If there isn't and HDLoader is only pulling out of the US, doesn’t make it impossible to get, just harder.

About the HD Advance
 

In reality, though, it really is just an HD Loader clone, meaning that if HD Loader is no longer able to be sold, neither will HD Advance. But as soon as HD Advance goes up for sale, you can bet alot of people who didn't get the HD Loader will be buying one.

You know....

Im a SuperMod on this site.....

BUT.... **** like this will make "legit" people want to become a "PIRATE"....

You try everthing possible to stay within the law, and then they come and say NO you cant do this..... FINE>>>>>> Make games less in price, or make some kind of policy so that "legal" owners of games can get a replacement without paying 50 bucks "AGAIN"......

Im personally fed up with Sony and their BULL****!......

Makes me want to go out and buy an X-box........!

I may just be a newbie but I too am growing tired of this BS as BG said. BTW I already bought an Xbox.






Tyler!

Same here :D

Curious if there will be a release, to Sony, by all of those vendors, (in an attempt to save their own hides) who mades previous sales and a customer list for the purpose of recalling all of those sold or facing some sort of charge.

May not be likely but that sure would Suk!
That goes the same for modchips. That would really suk. I foresee big changes in the gaming industry. Some not so good. Lets hope for the best!

I wonder if MS will follow suit with xbox mods too!
:D Geezs I'm just postin' all sorts of bad thoughts here. Gotta go!

yeah im gettin fed up with sonys bs also but i like ps2 games better than xbox games altho i do have an xbox and LOVE ninja gaiden

I hope I get mine, I bought two when I saw that their site was taken down eariler (from the site Tyler mentioned)

I don’t know if Microsoft can go after modchips, at least the ones today. They did go after the early modchips, but that’s only b/c they came preflashed with stolen and hacked MS BIOSes on them.

Since all modchips that sell in N/A are flashed with a legal none MS BIOS, I don’t think there is much Bill can do about it. I could be all wrong, but thats how I understand it.

ok this is what bugs me yeah is that why dont they stop swap magic cds to they havent been stopped. Also there is a new piece of software called hd advance

Do the swap magic CDs contain stolen Sony code? If they don't, than I don't think Sony can do much about it.

On HDLoader's case, it was based off code ripped off, so now Sony is all butt hurt on now has decaled war.

Also, from what I've been reading HDAdvance is just a HDLoader clone, more or less.

the only reason why they stopped the production of hd loader is beacause it can store games without the need of a modchip so. In theory kids could go to blockbuster and rent some games put it on there hd and play games for free which is basically copyright.

but swap magic does the same job tho why dont they stop them!

Yeah really? So who's gonna report Z to Sony?




Tyler! :D

Wipe that evil grin off your face Tyler, you know you want to do it.

Sony really need to pull their finger outta their f*cking ass and listen to the users and not their wallets...

People are fed up of paying £44/$50 for a new game, its stupid! Change the price, allow people to be able to buy the games cheap n then modchips/hd loader etc will all stop.

Plain & f*cking simple!

yeah its bs like that that turns people into pirates if games wern't so damn expensive i'm sure there would be nowhere near as much piracy. im sure we've all done it lil bro/kid scratches a game ya dont want to pay another $50 for the replacment so ya go to blockbuster or a friends house. if games were like $20 then i wouldn't mind paying for a replacment. which is why i have a mod so i can copy my games and not have to spend $50 if my bro scratches it

with the hdd loader is much easier to do

u rent the game
install it play take the rentel back and have the copy installed till ur done playing it
and it works on any ps2 with a hdd and the loader

with swap disk u goto
rent the game and burn a copy
install a plug in play chip or flip top
and do about any were from 2-3 swaps to play one game

but my point is its still copyright your still in one way having a backup up the game. I say report hd advance and swap magic 2

The fires of Sony have burned long enough dont you think! No need to stir the pot. :p

Whats the point of that?!?

Thats just taking more opitions down the drain, stopping more people getting something!

I got an email from here!
Consolesource.com says they have some HDloaders still in stock and once they are gone there will be no more.

Email reads as follows:
Inventory blowout:: HDLOADER DISCONTINUED
Unfortunately the PS2 HDLoader has been discontinued by the manufacturer therefore Consolesource will no longer be offering this product for sale once existing stock has been sold. Consolesource.com 888.779.1377

This email was received today at 16:48:57. If anyone wants one, you better get a move on it. I'm sure they wont last for long if its not too late already.

Just thought I would share this info. ;)

Told ya guys.




Tyler!

I just tested it to see if I could get another one on order and go all the way through the transaction process and ;) it did sucessfully. Not sure why I did that as I dont need it, but for the sake of trying it, I did! :p :cool:

Wont know if it will actually be sent but it was worth a try.

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say boycott and thing Sony (game related). This would make them think.

only caus u want us to go on ur xbox forum. See sust u out :p

foundmy.com still has them as well. at $29.50 + shipping.
has a dual dvd case and a slidecard tool included.

man thats sweet!

i orderd a hd loader from foundmy.com for 29.50 and it was 13 for shipping. it came to 23 pounds in total i couldnt get one over here for that price when they were aviliable.

cousin: there really isn't another, hdadvance is just a pressed of the hacked hdloader with menu colors and menu option labels changed. no improvements at all.

and hdadvance costs more than the hdloader... makes no sense for a copy/clone to cost more..

also fizz we ain't allowed to talk about HD Advance

hd advance sucks i think we should ban it :D

Ok... cool, what about the HD handiness or the WinHiip? Your just loading the ISO from your PC to your PS2... or is this not a forum for backups and such?

I thought it was since I see CopyWorld everywhere.... :o

Yeah, you can talk about backups here just not HD Advanced as it's swamp magic junk. With WinHIIP you can load your games staight from the PC dvd drive into the HDD for your PS2 without backing it up into iso first. Handiness is a HDL_DUMP cloned gui so if you know what features that has. There's not much new on there.

Ok, sounds like your up to par on all the new news... :)
