Not sure if this is a Mac Games post, but anyway...

Is it possible to set up a hard drive for a Playstation 2 with a Mac? All the software I have found for things like HD Loader and USBeXtreme format and set up the drive with games using a Windows PC.

Any ideas? I'm interested in the USBeXtreme package and using a USB hard drive in the front USB port for games (it would be much easier to switch the drive between PS2 and Mac this way for setting up new games).

Personally, I use HD Advance and have found no need to access the HDD from my Mac. Formatting the drive and ripping games to it can be done from HD Advance itself, no need for a computer. However, I can see that installing, er, "backups" would be much easier without having to use the CD-swap trick.

You can FTP into your PS2 by installing a little app on the memory card. http://forums.afterdawn.com is a great resource for this sort of thing.
