    first need to format your HDD, formatted complatible the PS2, for it can use USBExtreme.

    Open the application, USBExtreme for PC and connect the HDD to the PC. In the application, in paragraph Hard Drive select the letter corresponding to the HDD, and then click Format. Well format the disk and create a partition.

    Then returns to the Games tab and put a Install CD / DVD in the player's PC. Select the letter of the reader, fill the other fields as you like and hit install.


    to play from USB, you need arracanr somehow Loader program or USBAdvance Open PS2 in your PS2. You can use different methods:

    - If you have a modchip, simplelmente record the program on the CD and run it on the PS2.
    - If you have Swap Magic, record the program on a cd and load it with swap magic, your games will come out of USB hdd.
    - You can create one menor32 a PS2 memory card and be able to launch the program.
    - If you installed it FreeMCBoot run the program under way or another ulauncher

    Tell us your method, or method you're using and tell you how to do

    I have burned the usbadvance (.cue & .bin file),and the matrix infinity iso file,but the PS2 writes down "This disk can not be opened" (or somthing similar), and the freemcboot noob files.

    I burned it with poweriso,nero (I spend 10 CD-s and 4 DVD-s) but with no results.

    Hdd is formated to FAT32,and i have tryed to format it with winhiip,who is telling me (when the hdd is connected wia usb) that there is no PS2 disk,but when i connect it with ide cable it finds it perfectly

    How can I write from CD to memory card,mayby will this work.

    i tell you here is the link for uLE 4.40 CD image .

    http://www.sksapps.com/launchers/uLa...F_v4.40_CD.zip

    use IMGBURN to burn this .you know how to burn images dont you ? anyway here is the for DVD Decrypter same as IMGBURN :

    SKS Apps - Exploit Systems - Wii Ps3 Ps2 Apps - Homebrew Game Downloads

    start from step 5 and use imgburn

    and here is burnatonce guide SKS Apps - Exploit Systems - Wii Ps3 Ps2 Apps - Homebrew Game Downloads

    after you successfully burned the ISO and your PS2 lunched now attach the USB Drive with Fat32 formatted include the Noobie Package you can now use uLE to install FMCB.
