Hi all
I have a slim Ps2 with a chip installed, I'm managing to run all the games I've encountered so far with no swap disc, the problem is that I'm running out of place in my Memory Card.
I've search the net for "how to" about connecting the ps2 to the PC and find a lot of "advance" methods about doing it, I but couldn't figure it out 

Can someone explain in the simplest way to copy saved games to a PC and back (or even to a USB flash disk)?

I've managed to connect the PS2 to my router and get a proper IP as well, I'm able to ping it but can't access it from the Xp.
I understood that I need to run a FTP server on the ps2 end in order to access files, I've tried to download a couple of FTP server for PS2 but I couldn't manage to run them from a CD/DVD, maybe the burning method I used was wrong.. :o|

Any help will appreciated
Thanks
Dror

I would go out and buy a max memory card

i have a 32mb card myself, and they also make a 64mb
then you can just use the 2 slots in the PS2 and transfer them back and forth as needed. Very simple.
I have plenty of games on my 32mb card, just figure it this way. having one onf those is like having 4 standard memory cards.
There there is only 1 game i know, RE4, that will only work with the Sony memory card. So for that one game or any others you may find you can just use the original card as it will be blank after you transfer over the saves to the new one and test them, then delete them from the old card.

Have a look here: http://www.sksapps.com/index.php?page=ExecFTP_Tutorial.html

If you have your PS2 connected to your router, this tutorial will teach you how to setup ExecFTP, a stand alone FTP server for your PS2, so you can transfer files to/from your memory card :)

Since your PS2 is modded just get an iso of Action Replay Max Evo. And you can use your flash drive as a memory card or a Max drive. You may have to format it to FAT.

Heres a link to an AR Max Evo iso (NTSC)
