THE INTERNET HASN'T BEEN TO NICE TO USB STICKS, NOW THAT USB STICKS ARE 36GIG AND UP, ITS MUCH CHEAPER AND MORE EFFICIENT TO GRAP A USB STICK AND USE IT EXACTLY LIKE A USB HARDDRIVE TO PLAY PS2 GAMES FROM USB ADVANCE (USB ADVANCE IS A CLONE OF HDLOADER THAT USES THE USB PORTS)
PART 1, USB STICK TO USB HARDDRIVE TRANSFORMATION!!!
You need to make your computer think your USB STICK is a USB HARDDRIVE, so you can use programs like "USBExtreme" to install ps2 games to your USB STICK, and yes your ps2 will play it, when you launch USB ADVANCE.ELF
*u can even use a computer at a public library, when no one is looking *
Step 1 - find device manager
Plug your USB Stick in your computer, and browse to Device Manager. Type "devmgmt.msc" in the run box. Or, click START/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/click the HARDWARE tab/now click the DEVICE MANAGER tab.

Step 3 - download "USB STICK TO USB HARDDRIVE" attachment below
Its at the very bottom of this post. Extract the 2 files in there to your desktop.
Step 4 - add your USB stick's "Device Instance Id" to the "cfadisk.inf" file replacing the text "PASTE Device Instance id here of usbstick" with your "Device Instance Id"
example
%Microdrive_devdesc% = cfadisk_install,PASTE Device Instance id here of usbstick
to
%Microdrive_devdesc% = cfadisk_install,USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_USB2.0&REV_2.30\1 00000000000036D&0
USE YOUR FAVORITE EDITOR, NOTEPAD, metapad, etc. / its at line 26 for advanced users
PART 2, update your usb stick's device driver
Go back to your "Device Manager", find your usb stick again, right click, select PROPERTIES, select the DRIVER tab, select UPDATE DRIVER, select NO, NOT THIS TIME, select INSTALL FROM A LIST OR SPECIFIC LOCATION (ADVANCED), select DON'T SEARCH I WILL CHOOSE THE DRIVER TO INSTALL, select HAVE DISK, select BROWSE, open that file. and ENJOY YOUR NEW SUPER CHEAP USB HARDDRIVE.
PART 3, GRAB "USBExtreme" from the internet its a program for ur PC, format, your stick, and install a game, then enjoy the game from your ps2 using "USB advance.elf"
******on a side note, i didn't notice a speed difference on any of the 2, usb 2.0 usb stick i tested, versus a usb hdd, both were backward with 1.1? if that means anything at all, one was a 8gig and the other wasn't mine it was a newer 36 gig.
*****cough* this isn't a PSP the cheapies work great off ebay lol. the games take a minute longer to load at first then hdloader, but its probably unique to usb advance. FIND A WORKING LIST OFF GOOGLE OF USB ADVANCE GAMES THAT WORK, AND U SHOULD BE FINE MY FRIEND.
