Playstation 2 Modification Revisit
3A quick overview of the mods on my Playstation 2, and what I had to do to bring it up to date. It's probably been 5-10 years since I upgraded anything on it, so my brain was still stuck back in the HDLoader days. System mods tend to need revisiting every decade or so to keep them current.
Most PS2 tools *hate* 2TB drives. Here's what I found that worked for it:
(uLE) uLaunch Elf 2TB edition:

after launching, use the HDD manager under MISC to format drive
This is the video I got the above procedure from, but it's about something a little different.

(OPL) Open PS2 Loader, which generally replaced HDLoader:

Rip Discs using 'HDL Game Installer, because OPL doesn't rip:

Same video as above also has a handy part about updating the items in the Free McBoot Menu
(which I had totally forgotten how to do)
