And not just demos. The same applies to some real games, like ".hack//INFECTION" and most others in the same series.
I also use USBAdvance to test various homebrew ISOs before wasting CD-R discs.

Despite it's slowness, USBAdvance is still a useful tool for some things.

Inspired by rztyle's ua_splash.bmp, I decided to create a partial theme for usb advance...

General Release Titles:
USB Trident

Files Included:
main.tga
splash.tga
button.tga
misc.tga

Patch Dos Commands: (usbastrip.exe)
usbastrip /ib button.tga /ii misc.tga /is splash.tga /im main.tga usba.elf usba_patched.elf

Credits! :-)
- rztyle - ua_splash.bmp [slightly modified] & inspiration

Memory Card Icon's Included: "USB Advance MC Icons.rar"
3D Cube (PS2 Style)
3D Rectangle (PS2 Style)
3D Cube (USBA Style)
3D Rectangle (USBA Style)

Notes:

- Why??? the answer is simple with the release of v14+ consoles $ony removed the ability to IDE mod the slim. meaning if you want to use a hard drive with your ps2 (v14+) the only way is through your usb ports (usb advance); second, there is a sub-fraction of games that only work with usb advance (slow but has a purpose).

- Converted the theme files from 24bit bmp to 32bit tga; since the main has such a low resolution (320x256) I wanted to try & maximize quality. patching & elf testing has been done and everything works great, the tga files are proper.

- Created usb advance memory card icons; fixed button icon alignment.
