Also, when I successfully booted it, I had another thumbdrive in my PS2 that didn't have any files on it (don't even think it was formatted for AR MAX). When I got it to boot that one time, I thought I pushed a combination of Start and X to get to work, but I tried holding x after I pushed the play button, tried holding start, just hitting both of them.I don't understand why it's doing this, it's like it's only booting when it wants to.

Anyway, I reset to do it again, and it doesn't boot. I didn't have my HD hooked up at when I did it, and when I hooked it up, it wouldn't detect (guessing it needs to be connected before booting USB Advance). God this is starting to get on my nerves. Is there some step I'm screwing up and just not noticing? Or is this just not possible for some reason?Īnd yes, I am using MAX Media Creator for the pendrive files.

Thirdly, I've been trying to just straight boot USB Advance or uLaunchELF through AR Media Player, but it just hangs at a black screen (the text that was there when media player was running is gone, it's just a completely black screen). So I did the cardboard (take off of the straw and tissue mod) mod, and tried to boot my copy using the 'EA Method' whatever that means. Booted CDLOADER from my pendrive in Media Player. Secondly, I just tried burning an ISO of my edited game (GH2, trying to add custom songs). Instead of anything loading, all I get is Media: Invalid Disc at the bottom.

I get to the CDLOADER screen, and I follow the instructions from one of the other threads on how to use a USB HD to boot backups (just swap in the Exploit CD). I have CDLOADER on my pendrive and it boots fine. Burned a copy of it in Nero to a Sony brand CD-R. OK, I've tried several different ways to go about this.įYI(Slim PS2, no modchip, running through AR MAX EVO)įirst, I made the Exploit CD in Independence Compiler, set Installer to 'No', uLaunch is set, and all that crap. BUT THIS WILL WORK.Īlso just for knowledge CogSwap doesn't like to run from USB so if you wish to try that elf you have to get it to your mem card. So it should work just fine or you can try the whole method I posted links to before. USBadvance loaded, but I did not have an external HDD hooked up although it did see my pen drive and said no games installed.

Then hit play to launch the selected elf. ġ1) When in Media Player use the fast forward and rewind button to I tried putting USBadvanced.elf on the pen drive and all went well.ġ) Install the Max Media Creator on your computer.Ĥ) In Output Media select USB Drives then your drive (e:,f:,etc.)ĥ) then click Add File Select where ever you stored USBadvance.elfħ) When done insert USB stick and your USB HDD into PS2.
