Sony PS2 HDD Question

Post by Weekend_Warrior »

This might be a real stupid question. But I've heard many times that installing games to a PS2 hard-drive can improve loading times in some games. So I'm wondering... could installing games to an HDD also improve the framerate on these same games, or is that totally separate issue?

Strictly the load times and convenience. Actual game play itself is the same.

From my experience when you install the games on the hdd the games does load much much quicker and as for the the framerates i didnt really notice too much of change.
