    You really need to use the search option. There are at least 3 programs that do this.

    But what do you mean "an ISO in a usb key instead of burning DVD's?" Don't you have the originals?

    Let's not assume the worst until we have some reason for it.

    Quite likely he's just one of the many PS2 users with a dead CDVD laser/drive, who has just found out that he can use HDLoader (and other tools) to revive his PS2 even without any CDVD access.

    That depends on what you mean.

    If you mean to install games for HDLoader then the answer is NO.
    There is no PS2 software to install HDL games from a USB drive.
    For many games it would be impossible, as they may exceed max filesize for FAT32.
    So even if we tried to make such an installer, it would only work for some games...

    Installing from an ISO file requires using a PC, and either have the PS2 HDD connected directly to that PC while running either WinHiip or HDL_Dumb or to have the PC and PS2 networked, while running HDLD_svr.elf on the PS2 and HDL_Dumb on the PC. (HDL_Dumb can work either locally on the PC or networked with the server on the PS2.)

    There are some other HDL_Dump GUI programs that can also be used in place of HDL_Dumb, but essentially they all do the same thing.

    If you meant something other than installing HDL games, then you need to tell us this.

    Copying normal files (like elf files for mini-games or emulators) from a USB drive to PFS partitions on the PS2 HDD can be done by uLaunchELF (aka: uLE), through its FileBrowser commands.

    Best regards: dlanor

    I think you can use USBInsane It puts the ISO file directly onto the HDD without the use of a disk

    Thats only good for USB gaming, not IDE HDD with HDL, like he says he is using. And it doesnt let you install a game from USB to HDD while in the PS2.
    PS2 Consoles:
    SCPH-30001 [V4] - unmodded (2)
    SCPH-30001-R [V5] DMS4 Pro SE
    SCPH-50001-N [V9] CC 2.0 SLE
    SCPH-79001 [V16] Silver - unmodded
