    Hi Team,

    I have just purchased an PS2 slim... dont have the version with me now but its the latest one we get here and have been imported from europe in Jan.

    I am a total dumbo when it comes to anything else other than playing game by inserting the DVD. So i need help of all you experts on this.

    I have a modded PS2 with the Matrix infinity chip i suppose.

    Please let me know how do i accomplish the below things in the easiest way:

    1. Play .avi and mp3 files on PS2 using dvd or USB drive
    2. Play .iso file of games straight from the USB without the need to burn the CD
    3. Info about what i can do with my PS2 apart from using it the way it is supposed to be used and the way to do it
    4. What are the additional softwares in PS2 and what/How do they help.

    I know that it might be a bit of pain of you guyz but thanks in advance.

    I know searching the forums can be confusing to someone who is new to this whole thing, and a lot of the info you need is scattered throughout the site, but you might have more success if you focus on one task at a time. That's what I did when I first start something that seems overly complex in the beginning. You will find a lot of the questions you ask are already answered, and some of them really recently.

    1) Read this.
    2) Read here or here.
    3) You would have to search these forums, but here's a brief list: play games off Hard Drive (depending on your PS2 version) or USB, watch movies using SMS, backup game saves to your computer using uLaunchELF, play games from old systems like NES, Genesys, SNES using emulators, but you really should search through the forums first to get an idea on what's here.
    4) Same as what I said in number 3 I would think.

    I know that it might be a bit of pain of you guyz but thanks in advance.
    Not to put a damper on your interest here, but you will find people are a lot more helpful when you put in some effort to try and learn things for yourself first.

    To the original poster:

    For the iso off the usb, USBAdvance has low compatibility, but it does work for some things ^_^.

    Is your modded the same region as your new slim? If it is you can do a FMCB multi install on a mem card and use that to load the nessasary elfs and run stuff from the memory card (elf's) and usb, dvd-r, etc. Check out the FCMB forums.

    Howdy.

    So my brother has a PS2 slim (SPCH 700XX) and of course what? Dog gone lazer is messed up to high heaven, won't read PS2 DVD game but will read PS1 games? Frustrating or what.

    So to the point: 1) Have a USB HD that is FAT32 formatted
    2) Have a MC with Free McBoot on it (Multi install)
    3) And of course our JACKED UP PS2 slim

    I did d/l USB Advance (haven't used it yet) but not sure how it will factor in. What pieces to the puzzle am I missing. I know I have to burn our DVD's to iso with some kind of patch right (ESR?) or something like that.

    Just need a point in the right direction. Trying to help my brother out.

    Thanks in advance.

    Irie MAN!!!

    ME WILL TRY DAT JUS' NOW!!!

    I think I was heading in the right direction as the PS2 Slim can read the HD hooked up w. a USB cable via Ulaunch, had a ton of stuff on there. So I think I see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

    I appreciate your sage advice and willingness to "lift as you climb" - variation on a Booker T. Washington quote, it is Black History month for a least a few days
