Tutorial to install FMCB with USBeXtreme

ok it sounds like your PS2 is not reading the disc you burned.

What program did you use and what speed did you burn it at?

Try 12-16x speed to burn at.

i used imgburn at 12x speed with a cd
yeah i guess your right... its just not reading the cd...
i guess it won't work out for me... i'll have to just burn every game i want to play

Well you may have issues reading CD's, so you could do just burn uLe ISO to a DVD, and install fmcb 1.8 from a USB flash drive instead.

You would just have to read the Guides on what all to put on your USB drive

Ok first the hdd has to formatted with FAT32
Copy games to the External USB drive using USBUtil by ISEKO - http://psx-scene.com/forums/f100/usbutil-iseko-59785/ (USBUtil by ISEKO)
Launch OPL v0.8 using uLe, or have it configured in FMCB browser
You can download OPL v0.8 from here - http://psx-scene.com/forums/f150/ope...-v0-8-a-62141/

To correct you....
HDLoader is only for internal HDD (for phat PS2 or for slim with HD-Combo)
Not for external with USB ! ! !

So you have to use OPL or PS2ESDL for your USB-HDD....

so i installed all the games with usbutil
then i downloaded opl 0.8 but i wasn't sure how to install it into fmcb...
so i put the opl 0.8 elf file into a usb stick and i tried to run it with the fmcb in the ulaunchelf option.. Note "in the ulaunchelf browser i am able to see that the mass storage device is plugged in "the harddrive" but when i click into it... i get 0bytes which means nothing is in the harddrive"
the screen loads for opl 0.8 and then it crashes... or if it loads... it wil not be able to see any hard drives available
