ohh shit i thought you mean i have PS2 un modded and brother PS2 is modded ok i got it .

well your brother PS2 is modded its easy to install FMCB on it all you have to do is to run uLE via CD/DVD and put the noobie package on a pen drive and connect to PS2 and then start uLE to run FMCB and install it on MC

Use a USB HDD instead of a USB flash disk/pen drive.
USB HDDs are faster than USB flash disks/pen drives internally.

You might also want to check out PS2ESDL, since it was tuned for USB devices: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f19/play...ps2esdl-63375/

PS2ESDL v0.816 was released for testing, and is a pre-release of v0.820: http://psx-scene.com/forums/806836-post157.html (Playstation 2 External Storage Device games Loader (PS2ESDL))

It has about 10% better speed compared to v0.810, and had some fixes and upgrades.

Using a Y-cable is fine.
So far I have not heard of any HDD enclosures being incompatible with PS2ESDL yet.

If you are unsure, just avoid those that have cheap skate enclosures (Especially those with no brands).

Multi-functional devices are not supported.
Please use a device that was designed to only function as a USB mass storage device and nothing else (In other words, use a USB HDD that only functions as a USB HDD).
