Hey!

I archived my legit copy of BFBB on my PS2's hard drive before the disk died, and i can't for the life of me find a copy cheaply for another console.
It's a Maxtor IDE drive with a regular network adapter and FreeHDBoot.
tyvm in advance

I believe it is not cause its modding the console and mods are against that. And also if you can do it on ps2 you might as well soft modding on Xbox and Wii so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I wish it was allowed because screw load times, and a hard drive will massively improve the load times of the terrible ps2 disc reader

Sorry, but off-disc play is not permitted with running this game. You can learn the game however you see fit. However, be sure that you are running the game on official hardware (GCN, PS2, PS3, X360, Xbox, Wii) with a disc or on Dolphin Emulator before you submit your runs to the leaderboards.

Gotchya. Thank y'all!
