+# Transfer Games to Playstation 2 Hard Drive on Linux
+Add and delete games from our FAT PS2 IDE Hard Drive using HDL Dump Helper GUI
+
+* tutorial video: [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpBYuCI0d8E)
+
+### Hardware Requirements
+- Modded/Softmodded PS2 (Modchip, FreeMcboot or FreeHDBoot)
+- PS2 Network Adapter
+- IDE to USB Adapter
+- IDE Hard Drive already formatted to the PS2
+
+### Software Requirements:
+- java (search in the package manager for **jre** and install one of those e.g: **jre8-openjdk**)
+- hdl_dump_helper
+  - http://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2738)
+  - http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/playstation/ps2-homebrew/hdl-dump-helper-gui-for-linux-windows/)
+
+### HDL Dump Helper
+    Extract hdl_dump_helper_gui_v2.3.rar
+    
+    # change permissions so it can run
+    chmod +x launcher-linux.sh
+    chmod +x hdl_dump_086
+    chmod +x hdl_dump_090
+    
+    # start the program
+    ./launcher-linux.sh
+
+### Find Which is Your PS2 HDD
+
+    # shows a list of storage device
+    lsblk -o "KNAME,HOTPLUG,SIZE,FSTYPE,TYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,MODEL,SERIAL"
+
+### Common Issue
+    # Sometime it will fail to transfer because you have the same game name or similar e.g:
+    WWE SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2007
+    WWE SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2011
+    
+    # The Fix is to just rename it a little bit like add or removing one letter e.g:
+    WWE SMACKDOWN VS RAW 2007
+    WWE SMACKDOWN V RAW 2011
