you answered your own question......think...........usbadvance........
Can you please link me to a tutorial that explains exactly how to move iso games into my usb thumb drive?
its pretty easy

it kinda explains itself ^_^
Thankyou. I formatted my drive with fat32 and I couldn't get the ps2 to recognize it. Is there a list of thumb drives that are compatible?
I find that tool rather meaningless (at least the version I have), since it suffers from a similar limitation as does the official USBExtreme installer.Quote:

Other programs exist with good support for any USB drive, and one of the best of them is USBUtil ver 1.02 by Israel Ravelo Hernández. That program even allows you to maintain a working USBAdvance installation file set in any directory at all (even non-USB), though you will naturally need it in the root of a USB drive to actually use the games with a PS2.
I have used this tool myself to maintain a USBAdvance setup on my 16GB SanDisk pendrive.

It doesn't explain itself when it won't recognize my thumb drive. I have no access. I will try the utility suggested by dlanor. Thanks for this.

Here is a link to a useful alternate USB driver for WinXP, which can solve this kind of problem. I originally attached that download to another thread in this forum, so this is just a link to the same attachment.
USBInsane will not recognize any 'thumbdrive' normally, since they are considered removable media and USBInsane only asks the system for a list of fixed media. So it will miss any drives of the removable media type. The download I linked to above allows you to modify this behaviour by installing a fixed media driver for the thumbdrive you want to use.Quote:

However, if all you want is to install PS2 games to the drive, then you are better off using another installer program known as "USBUtil ver 1.02" (search for it on this site). This will allow installation of games for use with USBAdvance/USBExtreme on any drive, fixed or removable, without any special tricks being needed.
Just remember to format the drive to FAT32, as that is the only format which USBAdvance/USBExtreme can use on a drive of this size.

OK, thank you for the reponse. This greatly helps me on my venture to get GT4 on a USB stick. =]
USB util sees the Microvault. But it is just formatted plain old FAT. Im gonna screw with some format utilities to try and get er FAT32 mode.
Again thanks Mr. Anderson
EDIT, the USB drive is formatted FAT32 but the PS2 wont see it with USBadvance.. Hmmm ...
