Preparing a PlayStation 2 (PS2) for use with
HDAdvance(HDLoader prefrebly) is easy.Take a standard ATA/IDE hard
drive (up to 120GB), attach it to a PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor, and
slide the contraption into PS2's expansion bay. Insert the disc and
load the software. That's it.
HDLoader's simple menu
provides the expected options for imaging, running, renaming, and
deleting your PS2 backups. The process of imaging a disc to the hard
drive is often time-consuming due to the relatively slow speed of the
PS2's optical drive. It usually takes the average game to load between
7 and 30 minutes to fully download depending on the full content of the
game. |

The following is an complete tutorial from the book "Hardware Hacking: Have Fun While Voiding Your Warranty" by Syngress Publishing.
An oversimplified definition of a home theater PC (HTPC) is a customized computer that connects to your entertainment system and is used to play video and audio information. A more complete definition could include discussions about specific functions, such as DVD playback, video capture, CD ripping, and many others. We cover these functions in this chapter, but for now let's just say that there are as many different types of HTPCs as there are HTPC builders. Examples of commercial, pre-built HTPCs include TiVo, ReplayTV, and networked DVD players. So if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for among the examples in this article, fear not. A little ingenuity and a lot of research can show you the way.
This article covers a slightly different kind of hacking than many of the other chapters in this book. Other hacks in this book cover ways to make a piece of hardware less restrictive than originally intended or to modify a product to make it do something it wasn't intended to do. To be sure, some HTPC hacks have those aspects, depending on what you are doing. However, if you turn into a full-blown HTPC enthusiast, chances are excellent that you will not be saving money over what you would buy off-the-shelf to perform similar functions. If you’d like to go the inexpensive route, there are ways to do so, but that’s less often what HTPC builders are after. |

If you’re a T-Mobile customer and really into SMS, there’s a new hack to get unlimited SMS service by switching your default sending options from GSM to GPRS. Given that T-Mobile only charges $6.99 a month for 1,000 messages, you have to be really frugal, really into SMS or really addicted to trying out new hacks to do this. |

Well, it finally has been done, the MacMini has been overclocked. Leo Bodnar has figured out how to do it. The good news is that you only have to change 3 jumpers. The bad news is the jumpers are tiny!

I feel that the RD2780 should have shipped with a minimum of a 40GB drive.
Unfortunately, it only comes in the 20GB flavor. The good news is that
Thomson did not make it very difficult to upgrade the hard drive yourself.
The RD2780 can use any 9.5mm IDE 2.5" laptop hard drive.
I am writing this to help you, so if you mess up your $400 RD2780...
it is your fault, and I and this site assume absolutely no responsibilty
for anything. Follow this guide at your own risk. If you are cautious,
you should not have any problems.
