HD Loader is a program designed for use on the PlayStation 2 game console. It allows users to play games on their optional hard drive, rather than the network adapter. HD Loader allows games to be copied to the hard drive. Install HD Loader onto your PlayStation 2 memory card and run it on the console from the card. It takes some time to prepare the PS2, but once it is on your memory card, you do not have to reformat it again.
