SMS problem with USB flash drive

**damqnski** · 04-09-2010,05:57 AM

I bought new flash drive and my ps2 read media from it only once. Every time I try to start something from the flash it stops on "Reading media...". I've tried everything, but no result. I can listen the music from my mp3 player which is formatted on FAT.
Btw: I can play games from the flash drive with USBADVANCE. I can browse in the flash with ulaunchELF. The USB flash drive make a problem on FAT/FAT32/NTFS.

If you have any idea, please, share.

EDIT: I just found this app Argon and i can listen to music and watch videos from the same usb flash drive that doesn't work just with SMS... Sheezy huh..

Which version of SMS? have you tried a different version?

Are you sure that "Read USB" is enabled? Check your settings.
Another thing could be the size of the files you're trying to read.
There is a limit on the size videos the PS2 will be able to read.

Please give us more details so we can help ya better.

Now I'm with SMS 2.9 Rev.2. I've tried older versions, but the same problem. The files in the flash drive are just simple mp3s. I think its not from the settings cuz I've tried to start the flash manually with "Boot USB Drive" and its bugging on "reading media...". And im saying again I can listen mp3s and watch videos with Argon.

What brand USB is it? Some brands won't work with certain programs. I know Aragon is based on SMS, but compatibility could be the issue.
