that does sound like a good idea, i havent had a problem with my lens but then again i dont play the ps2 much any more. I do want to know if it does cut on the load times and if it does imagine with a solid state hard drive the game u could play with it.

Do you have a PS2 installed with a MODCHIP?

If not then use Swap Magic or something like that. I posted instructions assuming that you have a modchip installed PS2.

for a FAT PS2, you have so many options. You have a Hard disk for yourself, so no need for you to waste a CD, instead transfer that USB ADVANCE.elf you found frm the internet to your Hard Disk and you can run it from there and play games.

You will find all the details in other threads right here at AFTERDAWN.

- You need to have a software called USB Advance or USB Extreme(search the internet or contact me if you can't find it).
- Write this software using DVD Decrypter onto a blank CD-R.
- Insert the disc into the playstation 2.
- You should have a USB Pen drive ready, of capacity minimum 4 GB.
- Alongwith the USB Advance, you will get a software for your PC to convert the downloaded games into the games playable through USB.
- Open the software, browse for a game file, and convert it.
- Now insert the pen drive into your computer and copy the converted game files into the pen drive.
- Remove the pen drive from computer and insert it in your PS2.
- Boot your PS2 with the USB ADvance CD in it and now select the game and press the 'X' button to play!

Feel free to contact me for any detail.
