ps2 game formats ?

[peire]

hi, i have been reading around and noticed a few different formats for ps2

.bin
.cue

iso

.mdf
.mds



so my question is do all these work on a fat 32 hard drive for a ps2 and witch is the best format ? and does changing the format from iso to one of them make the game smaller in size ?

The format shouldn't make a difference but if the game needs to be patched with USBUtil then you should patch it before installing it to your hard drive, this only applies to USB hard drives. If you don't know which games to patch just check lisk.sksapps.com. For internal hard drives, I suggest hooking it up to your computer and using WINHIIP to install any kind of disc image. .bin and .cue are CD format games and .iso are DVD format games. .mdf and .mds files just come with the .iso, .bin, .cue file when you make a copy.
