Playing PS2 games from a flash drive
I recently replaced the fan on my PS2 with something quieter, because the stock fan was way too loud. I loaded Virtua Fighter 4 today to test everything out, and I was disappointed to discover that the DVD drive is also very loud. The only thing that I can think of to bypass the DVD drive is to put my games onto a flash drive, put it in one of the PS2's USB ports, and play from that. I'm wondering if this is possible, though. I doubt it, since I think my PS2 would either have to be modded in some way, or I would have to be using some kind of CD in the drive to be able to boot from a USB port. My PS2 is a SCPH-30001 V4, by the way. So does anyone know if this is possible?
Edit: VF4 is a CD-ROM, and I just tried Monster Rancher 4, which is a DVD-ROM, and it is much quieter. So the drive is loud when reading CDs, but quiet when reading DVDs. Makes sense, I guess, since max DVD read speed is 16x, and max CD read speed is like 52x. How ya doing, buddy?

Buying another one is too expensive for me right now, but thanks for the suggestion. It's weird, the PS2 is notorious for being unreliable, yet both of ours seem to be quite old and still functioning. Either way, I'm less concerned now that I know that it will at least read DVDs quietly.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
