So I have a soft-modded ps2, with an HDD, FHDB, OPL and POPStarter installed.
Everything works fine, except for when I leave the game unattended for too long and (I assume) the HDD does a spin down and when I eventually resume the game, it takes a while the first time it needs to load something...
i use a 2504b model with a Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1tb running CEX COBRA EVILNAT 4.89. the hdd even stops ingame seemingly, sometimes stopping the backround music for example, or having a 1 second freeze. it cant be healthy for the hdd either right? on my pc i always had it disabled and my hdd there...
