Some games need to be patched in order to be played with HD Loader. Version 0.8c continues support for 48-bit (up to 2 Terabyte hard drives), patches for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and God of War II, 3 more modes and support for installing and running dual layer games directly off the hard drive.

These include a fix to improve dual-layer support, one to implement a non-aligned data buffer (which allows Gradius V to be played from the HD), one to defeat newer copy-protection measures (popularly known as the God of War fix), one to support the new "slimline" SCPH-70000 series PlayStation 2 hardware and one to implement 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (which allows HD Loader to take full advantage of hard drives larger than 137 GB or 128 GiB, as reported by HD Loader) as of 0.7c hard drives of up to 2 Terabytes can be used.
#Usbextreme dvd9 software
In response to the limitations of HD Loader, a number of independent programmers have developed patches which extend the functionality of HD Loader to improve game compatibility or different software entirely (e.g., OpenPS2Loader). Finally, there are intentional impediments introduced by some recent high-profile PS2 titles, such as God of War and Gran Turismo 4, to prevent them from being executed off the hard drive.
#Usbextreme dvd9 install
Additional incompatibilities arise from the use of dual-layer DVDs in some PS2 games, which are sometimes not parsed properly by HD Loader (incidentally, dual-layer games can only be installed from a PC but as of 0.8c it's possible to install them from HD Loader). Some incompatibilities exist because game software depends on certain peculiarities of the PS2 drive hardware. HD Loader is not 100% compatible with all PS2 games. A clone of the patched version of the official version is being sold as HD Advance, is still being manufactured and can be purchased from many online retailers. In October, 2006, Sony filed a $9 million lawsuit against France-based Divineo for Digital Millennium Copyright Act violations for selling PlayStation 2 modchips, along with HD Loader.
Sony's public stance on HD Loader is that it is not supported and is illegal (it can enable game piracy by allowing games to be installed, then played later without owning the disc).
