Retro [PS2] How to turn on the USB ports to play with a hard drive.

Hi guys:

I have a PS2 Slim and i'm tired of burn a DVD everytime I want to play a game. Now i want to beat Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XII and I need to "turn on" the USB ports in order to play from a hard drive, a flash memory, or whatever the PS2 recognize.

I just need to know how to do it :confused1:

Thanks.

1) They are "on" but "unusable" directly (can be changed with hacks I think), which makes them equally useless.
2) They are USB 1.0 so it will be slower than cds from what I heard.

Here's some leads 'USBAdvance' (plays games from USB), 'sksapps' (a usefull site), 'action replay' (according to sksapps, it can be used to hack the ps2), 'uLaunch' (an application), 'HDDLoader' (another app, dunno what it does)!

BTW if you don't have either a hacked NTSC PS2 or an extra 8mb memory card, this is gonna be kinda hard for you!

Actually my PS2 is hacked with Matrix and I have an extra 8MB memory card.

Thanks for your answer. I'll check it.

NTSC or PAL?

BTW if you find out how, I also need the info.
Despite what I posted, I still don't know how to do this completely! :D
