  1. #1 PS2 Need Help On Usb Advance 
    allan_orozco Guest
    Maybe a new release can get this idea to work, but its just a thought. Maybe if the creators of this app use the same or better driver as keylauncher launch elf and others do they might get more drives to work. im saying this because i have the following problem so please help me or at least telll me a way to contact the creators of USB ADVANCE, please.

    I have an ipod mini ( 6GB) that i want to use with usbextreme to act as an hdd for my ps2. I know as a fact that my ipod uses an HDD to storge music an other data.
    I have already tried to do this but it doesnt seem to work, cause USBExtreme didnt recognize my IPOd when connected to my PS2. Other Apps like Ps2 Keylauncher 0.5 Beta3 let me access my ipod as a USB Mass device so whats the deal, why cant usb extreme or advance, recognize my ipod. USBEXtreme/advance recognize my Samsung Digimax A402 Digital Camera, both its internal memroy (32MB) a my sd card (32MB) when put into the camera, But i can do practically anything with 32MB so i want my ipod (6GB) to work with these app.

    Do i need it to have a 40GB or more drive in order to use this app?.
    NO cuase my camera work and ist only 32MB.

    "I know you would recommend me buying a bigger usb hard disk, but i only want to use the ipod for loading GTA San Andreas, cause my ps2 reject to play it trough the DVD drive, all i got is errors while playing, so i dont have to spend more money on a drive."

    SO far this is what i have done:

    I have the following tools

    For PC

    USBExtreme.exe
    ul_install and ul_format

    For PS2
    USB Extreme
    USB Advance

    I plugged my ipod to the PC and i can see it as a new drive under letter F:
    I Tried to access it trought USBExtreme.exe but it didnt recognize the Ipod as a drive.

    So i use the command line option and type the follwing in the command line:

    ul_install D F SanAndreas DVD

    as instructed by the ul_install program:

    ul_install SourceDrive TargetDrive Name CD/DVD
    EXAMPLE: ul_install G H "My Game" DVD
    Install from drive G To H <DVD>

    Whoa!!! It begins to install the game on the ipod.
    It last for ever to finish but at least it was working.

    Now i removed my ipod and put it om my pc and it was not recognized by the Ps2.

    So can anyone help me here please?

    My Ps2 is a v5/6 30001R machine and i dont plan to purchase a network adaptor to put an internal hdd in. simply i dont have the money to do that. and the only game that i want to run on hdd is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas cause i have 3 copies of the game and none of them works, they are like time bombs they work for two weeks and then boom error reading the grand tehft auto disc no matter if i began a new game it give me the same error and i have already adjusted my laser lens so i want it to run trough hdd.

    NO my filesystem is OK My IPOD has FAT32. But also another partition that apple software made but is ok i think i have also reformat it with my PC to removed the partition and have only one in the ipod but it doesnt work either, so i dont know what to do.
    Anyone who knows who made this app so that maybe i can contact him, or someone that have the app driver for USB removed and changed with the one on Keylauncher, maybe that will help. I cant do it cause i dont know anything about programming.
