How to Format a Pendrive for PS2

The Sony PS2 was one of the first video game systems to include universal serial bus (USB) ports. With these USB ports, gamers can insert a USB keyboard and mouse to use with their gaming. The USB ports can also be used to insert USB pen drives into the PS2 to use with software and games that support the alternative storage method. The USB pen drive needs to first be formatted into a file system the PS2 can recognize.
