If somebody could tell me how to identify the games inside a ps3 usb extreme hdd it be great cuz something went wrong when I put call of duty 2 big red (pal2ntsc patched and removed the DNAS).The game did not display on my tv screen after being installed I checked the hard drive and the game files were their so i erased it because I could not access the games with the usb extreme software because I keep getting a error (dont realy remember) what it was but it dealed with the file name of a game or the name of the game dont remember and also erased another file (ul.cfg) that had the same date modified. I reinstalled call of duty and now none of my games display on the screen except call of duty. Only new and reinstalled games display. If somebody culd plz help I appreciate it....

P.S. I erased the call of duty 2 ul.cfg file and the game didnt displayed anymore, then I restored the file and the game displayed so I think it might have to do something with that im not sure.

You should've deleted the game using something like Winhiip and not the way you did it. Now your game list is screwed up.

Use Winhiip and see what you can see in there, and try to recover as much as you can, but you'll need to reinstall the games I think. Also USBeXtreme has quite a low compatibility, so I'm not surprised that some games don't work.

Sorry I have a ps2 not a ps3. When I tryed WinHIIP I selected my usb extreme hard drive but got an error (the selected hard drive does not have a valid ps2 mster boot record). Im not to sure but I think this program is for HD loader not usb extreme. Also I still need to know how to identify the games inside my usb extreme hard drive I am going to rebuild the images of the games and reinstall them scince my display list is messed up.

You should not mess with the ul.cfg file! If you manipulate it using notepad or something of the sort, the list gets corrupted! The UL.CFG file has the list of games on the drive. You should uninstall the games using the GUI version of the USBXtreme software (found at skapps). Don't erase them manually as you also take the risk of losing the other games you already have on the drive regardless of themf iles actually being there in perfect condition. If you screw up the ul file, all your games go down the drain.

WinHIIP is only good for HDLoader. It doesn't work with USBXtreme/ USBAdvance setups. It's a completely different file system and listing.

If on the other hand, you want to identify your games on the drive, you can open up ul.cfg in Notepad and see what code the file has for what game, or you can pop the disc into your DVD drive, look at the executable (SLUS_***.**, SCES_***.**, etc) and the files should have the sequence on the filename. The files are named

ul.(random hex code here... I don't know if it means anything).[game's code].001+

In in ul.cfg file, it should read: ul.[game's code] or something along those lines. I erased my USB setup after I got HDLoader to work again, but thats how the system works. IF you want to erase the game, you can always erase only the iles in question, but don't touch the ul.cfg file. In that case, you would only erase the files but the game will still be on USBXtreme's list but will probably freeze it if you try to access it.

PS2 V9 with Custom Flip Top
MC Exploit
ULaunchELF 3.78
HDLoader 0.8a with 160Gb Maxtor HDD

Nintendo GameCube DOL-001
XenoGC 2.0
POTS adjusted to 400Ohms from 496Ohms and runs everything thrown at it

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

The games do not display name on USBxtreme GUI (except reinstalled or new games) thats why I erased Call Of Duty 2 that way in the first place. All of the games put on the hard drive were downloaded and i only have 2 or 3 on my computer because i erased then after being installed on my usb extreme hard drive because they took to much space on my computer. Thats why i need to know how to I dentify them because i intend to rebuild the images and reinstall them. Ive read something about useing a hex editor but it was realy unclear and could understand it. Thanks for all the help realy appreciate it.
