Any USB Mass Storage device that solely functions as only a USB Mass Storage device should be supported. If it cannot be detected, it's probably because you have either an incompatible USB device or your games were not installed properly on a properly-formatted device. The device has to be formatted with the FAT16 or FAT32 filesystem. NTFS is not supported. The above is true for all homebrew software.
USBExtreme/USBAdvance suffers from extremely bad USB device support because of it's buggy USB drivers, and it suffers from a really mediocre game compatibility rate either. As for OPL and PS2ESDL, the games must be 100% defragmented to work properly. PS2ESDL is a PS2 game loader that has been tuned for USB device support. You might get better device compatibility and performance with it, and it might give you better game compatibility (For USB device-loading) too.
WOW USBUtil is THE way to go! Crap arsed USBExtreme would never read all my drives, so I would throw into E: and then painfully copy over to my F: I had to do USBUtil because USBExtreme would moan about read error on one of my games! The best is it adjusts the ul.cfg to all your liking and writes directly to any drive you've got!!!
Thanks SO much EDIT: WOW I just installed like 5 gigs directly from USBUtil. So the files don't even fragment? Defraggler analysis says nothing is fragmented!
This is bloody easy FAST now!!!!
I am using WD 120GB external. I tried to copy more than 2 PS2 games to it, but USBAdvance can not see games that i loaded to (using USBextreme). First it said no games in list, then after i hitted X, it showed error: You need to BACKUP tilte to your game list first. I have some more questions: - After I load 1 PS2 game to HDD, can I put those files to the folder (name is the game name) and then load other games in different folders? - How can I load and play PS1 game to that HDD too?
- How can I load and play NES? Sorry for asking too many questions. If you have time, pls give me some words.
Many thanks bro. When you loaded those 4 games using USBExtreme or whatever method, did you enter a 'game title' where it says 'game1' And did they appear below in the 'game Installed list' No, PS1 games can't be played on USB or HDD. If you have a slim PS2 and fmcb 1.8 installed you can play PS1 backups by using uLe - check my profile or search the forum. If you have a V9 PS2, you can use uLaunch.elf to play PS1 backups.
LaunchUle set 'disc control ON' in the settings let uLaunchElf STOP the your triggerdisc in the drive use a slide tool for swapping your triggerdisc for the backup go to 'filebrowser=MISC=PS2Browser' You'll be redirected to the standard PS2 browser in which you'll see the 'PSx cd' icon. Select it, play your backup! And if you have a V9 or higher, you can also use to play PS1 backups. Having a somewhat similar problem. I used HDAdvance to back up a bunch of games to my PS2 HDD. When my PS2 crapped out, I bought a slim PS2 and USBextreme.
My question is this: how do I get the back ups from the HDD to my new USB? I used WinHiip to extract the images from the HDD and copied them to the USB drive, but USBExtreme says it does not see any of the games. Kinda stumped on this one.it recognizes the attached drive, but not any of the game images. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time. Having a somewhat similar problem.

Introduction: The Playstation 2 (Fat or Slim) is a great console to have fun with. In fact, did you know that if you have a FAT PS2 (With the ethernet adapter), or a Slim PS2, that you can share PS2 games stored on the PC hard drive through the SMB network, and have the PS2 recognize it through Ethernet?
Sorry, did I lose you? Let me paint an easier picture to understand: 1) You rip a PS2 game to your computer’s hard drive. 2) You setup the appropriate network information and share the correct PS2 folder that has your PS2 game data. 3) You boot the Playstation 2 console, and load homebrew program OpenPS2Loader. 4) OpenPS2Loader will start the network connection and it will automatically see your shared game folder on the PC. You select a game, and play!
Foreword: After a year and a half later, I have decided to re-write this guide, because honestly, it was not my own and it was presented very poorly. Remember, I do no support piracy. Use the USB method to play your games on the hard drive to help your PS2 laser last longer.
The performance will vary, but that is up to you if you want to stick with it. (6-13-09) Versatile IMPORTANT NEWS (5-1-10): It seems that there are a lot of dishonest users on the Internet that are copying this guide without giving credit back to me, Versatile.

If caught, we will be forced to take action against you. This is your warning. – Versatile Revisions: Update: 1/15/08 I have gotten Viewtiful Joe 2 to copy to my hard drive, and I was able to boot off the hard drive and play it on the PS2.
Now my laser will live longer! All help will be given in the comments as usual. Update 2/13/08 Added link to SKS Apps. Without that site, this tutorial is nothing. ? Update 7/13/08 Added 2 new youtube videos of my own! Update 11/25/08 I am so frickin sick of people asking why their game doesn’t work and all they see is a black screen. Is it because your game isn’t compatible?
Check out this list below and stop whining, or use swap magic and ditch the whole USB hard drive all together. The USB 1.1 performance IS NOT WORTH IT in my eyes.

Update 12-6-12 Fixed video tutorials to be consistent. Introduction The PS2 is a great console.
After 9+ years, it is still going strong. With the new $99 price point, more and more people are getting the PS2 to play old school PS2 games. What better way to preserve your games and your PS2 laser than playing off the USB interface? This guide is based off of Swap Magic implementation. Wait, you can play games off the USB interface? Yes, you can but it requires some work.
Here are the PROs and Cons: Pros. Uses USB 1.1 interface (slow but better than nothing).
Saves strain on PS2 laser because using USB interface for game playing. Can have a list of selectable games in the USBExtreme interface. Works on both fat and slim PS2. Novelty factor is awesome! Cons.
Game compatibility is low. Requires USB hard drive.
Highly recommend USB drives that have their own power adapter. Flash drives can work, but the performance is so horrible its not worth doing it. Need to have third party tool to launch the “boot CD”.
This can be done with modchip, swap magic, or exploited memory card. DVD9 games (like God of War 2) are larger than 4.4 GB and will not work with USBExtreme. What tools do I need to make this work?
Hardware/Software tool: You need to have at least one of the items below before we continue:. Modchip.
Swap Magic. Exploited memory card (such as Free McBoot) IMPORTANT: For this guide, I will be using Swap Magic 3.6 CD to boot the USBExtreme disc! Blank Media:. 1 CD-R (700MB is fine) Note: I highly suggest swap magic if you are unwilling to mess with the other options.
You can learn more about swap magic at this guide: Download the Software below (more detailed instructions to follow): Usb Xtreme: Optional. Get this if you want to use the graphical user interface for easier format/game installing. Usb Advance: This is required. What should I use for the USB mass storage device? This is what I recommend:. USB 2.0 hard drive that uses its own power supply (for example, it requires power from the outlet). A USB hard drive that is at least 10 gigs or larger is highly recommended.
The average PS2 game size will vary from as low as 282 MB up to as high as 4483 MB or 4.483 GB. Do not use laptop external hard drives which gets its power from the PS2 USB 1.1 port. It is not enough power.
You could use pen or usb flash drives, but performance will be horrible. The game will chug, and you will have ridiculously long load times, that is, if your game can load! Note: I understand when going through this tutorial, you may see that your PS2 may not see your USB hard drive enclosure. If that is the case, please try a different USB hard drive. I have people verifying this may fix the issue. Tutorial Begins here.drools.:.
Extract the USB Advance zip file that you downloaded earlier into its own folder. You will see contents like the screenshot below:. Now double-click the USBAdvance-PC-Software. You will see two programs inside it: ulformat.exe and ulinstall.exe. Extract these to your C:. This will make more sense later.

Now extract the other zip file called “USBExtremewininst” to its own folder. You will now have a program called USBExtreme.exe.
A dedicated section to this program will be covered later in this tutorial. Now go to preparing the USB hard drive step. Preparing the USB hard drive:.
Insert USB hard drive to your PC. It is important that the USB hard drive is FAT32. If it is not, go to My Computer, right click the USB drive, and go to quick format for FAT32. If your hard drive is FAT32, great. No need to format it again. You can also launch the USBExtreme Software, go to the format tab, and tell it to format your USB drive as well as shown below. Here the I: drive is my USB drive.
Note: If you want, but not required, you can use the ulformat.exe command to format your USB hard drive. This is how to use it:. Go to Start - Run. Type “cmd” and press enter.
Go to your C: root. The command to use the program is “ulformat X format” where X is your USB hard drive. Example: My USB hard drive is E. I would type “ulformat E format”.
We are almost done. Let’s enable fast transfer speeds on your USB drive before we start copying games. Enabling fast USB hard drive transfer speeds:.
Go to My Computer-Properties-Hardware-Device Manager-Disk Drives-(external one here)-Properties-Policies-Optimize for performance. Speed varies from from 1MBps to about 10-15MBps, which is pretty fast! Also, do not forget to unplug the device the proper way (that is Unplug or eject hardware) when you remove the USB drive! Installing games onto your USB hard drive: This is pretty easy. We have two methods. Method one uses the “ulinstall.exe” command, and method 2 uses the USBExtreme.exe windows software. Both programs do the same job, and the second program is easier to use for those who are novices.

? Method 1: Using the command line. Insert your PS2 game into your computer’s DVD drive. Go to Start - Run. Type “cmd” and press enter. Navigate to your C: drive. The command to use here is “ulinstall SourceDrive TargetDrive GameName CD/DVD”. Example:.
I insert Viewtiful Joe PS2 game into my computer. To verify if your game is CD or DVD format, right click on the disc and go to properties. If the file size is less 700MB or less, then it is CD format. Anything else and it is DVD. My DVD drive has letter H:. My USB drive is I:.
At the command prompt on my C: drive, I type “ulinstall H I ViewtifulJoe DVD”. Press enter and it will start copying the game. See picture below:. Here it will copy the game from my DVD drive to my USB drive and prepare it in the special USB game playing format. Method 2: Using the USBExtreme Windows Software Launch the software. Insert your game. Configure the “Gamer Installer” window for your game and click start.
It will start ripping the game. Example: My DVD drive is letter H. My USB drive is I. The name of my game is The Bouncer.
The type of disc I am ripping from is DVD. After you click Start, it will prompt you: Click Yes, and then it will start ripping the game from DVD drive to the USB hard drive: When the rip is done, you will see a screen like the one below: Repeat the process over and over for additional games and you will get a list as shown below. When you load the USB drive from the PS2, this list will be selectable. Finally you are done. Let’s play on the PS2!. Turn on PS2.
Load your Swap Magic CD disc. At the main Swap Magic screen, load your USB Advance CD-R that you burnt earlier.
Now you will be at the USBExtreme screen. Connect USB hard drive to PS2. Turn it on, within a few seconds, you will see your game(s) show up on the screen. Highlight your desired game, press “X”, and within 7 seconds your game will load! Troubleshooting 1) Make sure to make your USB hard drive partition a primary. I am not sure if it needs to be logical drive, but I made my drive a primary partition.
