Other Limitations

DVD-9 games can be copied to hard disk, but will fail on trying to run the game. While this sounds bad, the number of games on dual-layered discs are in single digits, and they'd take up a lot of disk space anyway (5~9GB).

The only other main limitation with HDLoader is you cannot play all recent and new online games online, off the hard disk. Sony checks your hardware when you attempt to play online (like Microsoft). To play online, simply run the game off the original disc - unlike having a 'modchip' in your console, you do not need to own a second 'clean' console.
