How to Turn a USB Flash Drive Into a PS2 Memory Card

The PlayStation 2 (PS2) is a video game console developed by Sony. The PS2 has more power and speed than the PlayStation 1, though it is similarly slower and weaker than the more advanced PlayStation 3. When Sony developed the PS2, they added a feature that hadn't been in the previous console -- the ability to use USB flash drives to store files. In addition to using the PlayStation standard memory cards, the USB flash drive allows PS2 users to have virtually unlimited file storage capabilities.
