I'm having a hard time figuring out how to play games on my PS2 without the actual cd, or is it even possible? Wroxtar makes it sound relatively simple, but I thought you couldn't load burned cd's without using something else to do it. I want to download games and play them from a USB drive but I'm quite confused how to do it. I don't know how to go about putting FMBC on my memory card, how to use the apps, or how to make the game files playable through these programs.

I'm really not having much luck trying to comprehend all the options and putting all the pieces together.

So I guess my first question would be, is it even possible to get started without something like Swap Magic? Second, do you need Free McBoot or is uLE alone good enough?

Use the much newer Open PS2 Loader (OPL) to play games off USB, pc, or hdd

http://psx-scene.com/forums/f150/open-ps2-loader-project-v0-8-a-62141/

The guides are there

Basically you need your USB as FAT32

http://psx-scene.com/forums/f100/usbutil-iseko-59785/


Use USBUTILITv2 to copy games to USB, or just make a folder called DVD and place your ISO in it

The ISO then must be renamed, so just use fixiso.exe in the same DVD folder and it will rename them all properly

thanks
if your ps2 can read dvds than get swapmagic3.8 and find and download the free version of usbloader, onto a usb drive folder called swapmagic.rename dol file to smboot0.elf.
and load with swapmagic by smboot.

Hi, I am trying to get USB Advance to work on PS 2 - it is Modbo Chip one. I'm basically getting please put a PS 2 disc insert screen on my PS 2. Here are my questions, thanks in advance.

1. When you have to burn the image file is this the. BIN file and this file alone?

2. I know it mentions using a blank CD-R - I only had a DVD-R, will it work if I try a CD-R?

3. I used Sonic Digital Media LE.V7 and it asked me to format the Disc to which I said and burn data. Does it matter that I used Sonic Media and not Nero?

4. Is there a list of compatible ROMS for the PS 2?

5. And what capacity USB dongle would you recommend and will be used for the saves as well.

Thanks.
If you have a .bin and .cue file you can only burn it too a cd-r, not a dvd-r

You don't need to format the disc before burning. Just use Nero or Imgburn to burn it too a cd-r.
Burn it at 16x or 24x speed.

I don't really know of any compatibility lists for roms on the PS2
There are threads in the forum on emulators for the PS2.
One is here
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/351999
Just do a search for more.

For USB game playing I use a 300GB, some people use the Western Digital mybook 1TB
An external drive with its own power supply (wall plug in)is best, but you can use pen drives. Not all are compatible with USB advance, but are with other PS2 programs.
I have used anything from 1,2,4,8 and 16GB pen drives.

With the modbo chip, you will have to 'Disable Macrovision Fix' in the Matrix Menu in order play games off the USB with USB Advance. Just look at post #60 above
Thanks, sorry for the lateness in reply. I downloaded and extracted from WinRar another copy USB Advance, this gave me an .iso file which I burnt on to a CD-R using Imgburn v2.5.5.0 at 24x speeds. But now all that happens is the Play Station 2 Logo appears, then the Modbo chip logo and then a blank screen. Am sure it's not the laser as I've been playing both back-up and originals discs fine. Any help would be brilliant thanks. Also good advice with regards to the external device - am going to shop for one, once I get this up and running.

Just look at my post #106 and use that program. It will work with Modchip

Or try to burn the CD-r at 12x or 16x. You might have burned too fast.

Hope it alright to bump. Im trying to load an ELF file from USB using uElfLaunch. After go into the menu all I see is random junk (most likely to be the PS2 Internet files). I couldnt see any of the .elf files I put on my USB (pen drive, 256mb). When I try selecting one of the random junk it just froze there and nothing happen. Am I doing it wrong? Or is SCPH-90002 not possible?

Just follow this newer method to play games from USB

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/5/758979#5334980

Much better compatibility.

Also If I were you I would edit your post and remove your email address.

And if you still want USBAdvance or USBextreme you will find it here under USB Hardrive

I planned of having a huge room dedicated to gaming with a large plasma screen or a projector with the walls all stuffed with game dvds. And I would call upon all my friends and cousins to visit that gaming den anytime they wish and satiate their gaming desires to their fill!
I wish one day I am able to make this dream come true.
It sounds great,make it true.
