I am using the latest versions of OPL and FMCB. I want to copy my ISOs to an HDD, so I need a SATA adaptor.

Which of the following adapters should i purchase ?

Kaico

Rgeek

Gamestar

????
Woah, all for 35$? Even if it's in Canadian $ it's still expensive.. Specially for the Gamestar one which you can get on Aliexpress (and such) around 15$ or less. Beware the Gamestar one doesn't have the ethernet port so keep that in mind. And there's some users claiming having compatibility issues with some games..
A better option imo, is to get an OEM Sony PS2 network adapter and get an IDE to SATA adapter. It's easy to assemble too..

Again, the price of those shouldn't be that high (and that's minus shipping?). you can get one in Aliexpress around 15$ or less too. Shipping is not much either..
Other than that, yes either should work fine, they're from the same manufacturer..

I have the Gamestar and used it for awhile and games seem to load fine.
Yea, I heard good things.. Though the lack of the ethernet port might break it for some people, since if you want to add a game for example you'd have to remove the hdd and connect it to your pc (everytime) in order to do that.. Also no online with XLink Kai for games like Socom etc.

I already have a gamestar adapter and an unbranded one. I use the unbranded one at the moment and it works fine but i also want to have an oem adapter..

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
