Another dumb sms question - SMS doesn't see my usb drive

**Onerous** · 11-27-2008,12:10 PM

I'm running sms version 2.8 rev5.

The usb drive is visible to freemcboot as thats how I got SMS on to my memory card but it does seem to find the usb pen drive in sms.

SMS see the hard drive in my ps2 not the usb drive. What am I doing wrong?

Possibly you just forgot to enable the use of USB devices in the SMS device settings.
This is not enabled by default.

How do i do that?

Ive looked on the sms instruction manual and I can't seem to find the answer. I even tried a search but not getting the answer.

Can you point me where to look.

Thank you

If this doesn't work, try updating to the recent 2.9 version.

All SMS settings are accessed in the settings menus, opened by pressing the 'Start' button while in the main file browser screen of SMS. Then you move the highlight to "Device settings..." (or whatever) and press X to open that submenu, and so on and so forth...

You'll need to set the "Autostart USB" option, and then back out one step (pressing 'Triangle') and use the command "Save settings". This way SMS will start up the USB interface every time you launch the program. The "Device settings..." menu should also have a command for directly starting the interface in the current session, but that's only present if you have NOT enabled the autostart (which I naturally always have).

Thank you thats it, it works.

Amazing and now get to watch a few movies. You are saving the planet as the amount of DVD i was burning badly was extortionate.

So does the DVD remote work with sms?

Doesnt your remote have the controller buttons on it?

If yes, the sure it should work just as the controller does for those buttons.

Hello

Its the standard sony ps2 remote, seems to work in the selection menu but not in the sms menu.

Is it a configeration issue?

Yes its a configuration issue.

Set the controller 2 in the set up menu as remote control.

Job jobbed.
