How to Use a USB Memory Card on Playstation 2

The Sony PlayStation 2 requires the use of a memory card to save and store game data. The PS2, however, comes with USB ports that would reasonably allow USB drives to be inserted into the PS2 as memory cards. Unfortunately, not all USB drives are programmed to serve as PS2 memory cards, and the most dependable of the drives that can is the CodeJunkies MAX Drive. This device is as simple to use as a PS2 memory card.
