Gotta keep an eye on this thread since I was already considering HD Advance even before GT4 (mainly to quelch the long startup loading times and constant disc access of the GTA series).

Myself and 5 other personal friends all own HDloader and always buy our games. With HDloader there is no need to swap discs and loading is MUCH faster on EVERY game. Prologue was fast on the DVD but almost twice as fast on HDloader. HDloader also saves the cd-drive from wearing out which I have had to replace the lense once before I got HDloader. And no GT4 is not one of the fastest loading games, all games are optimized to run off the DVD and guess what, that same optimization translates over ot the HDdrive.

Wrong again.

Good for you and the 5 friends of yours. However, majority of the people who got HD loader are for the wrong reason.

And most people break traffic laws on a daily basis but I am not going around assuming that car drivers are a bunch of criminals who should be killed by incineration and suggest that everyone should use bicycles becuase they are pretty quick.

been reading through this thread for a while now......thought it was kinda funny how people accuse people who use HDloader/advance of piracy. Dont get me wrong I am not naive enough to think it doesnt happen (and yes even in the majority) but lots of people also have legit uses for HDloader. Speaking for myself, I have had 2 ps2's die from worn out drives. By worn out, I mean a few months old. I have also had no less than 3 friends with the same problem. So for me...its a matter of not wanting to buy yet another ps2. And I like the speed in which it loads the game. So get over yourself. The reality is most people use cd-r's for piracy........does that mean we cant talk about them either?


</end rant>

As far as copying this game to HDloader goes....think we have to wait for a patch. Everything I have read on other sites says its protected, and needs to know the physical addressing of the data on the second layer . Which obviuosly is gone once you move this data in any way shape of form.

For now I will happily play my original copy....just hope my drive doesnt crap out before I can move it to the HD :(
