How to Run PS2 Games From a USB

The PlayStation 2 (PS2) is the second-generation gaming console made by Sony, in which you play video games that come on discs, similar to CDs. Since its original release in 2000, user end modifications and hacks have been made to the PS2 that make it possible to play PlayStation 2 games via USB hard drives, without the use of a disc.
