hey bro, first wanna thank you for taking to the time to do a 2013 set for everyone that still plays 2k5 of ps2, that is golden!
now i did try a format my drive as it was in fat 32 ( default ) i tried ntfs and it still did not recognize it. now funny thing ( i downloaded a save from gamefaq ( enter the matrix ) and it did find it and it had like a little pipe wrench/ zipper icon, but that was all it found.
To my understanding it is working, when i put it into the ps2 it has like a little flashing light on it, but once in and i tried to search it would stop flashing and disappear in the ar max menu?
now im very green to this still, so you'll have to excuse me, but when you say unzip, what do you mean? i know you mean to unzip the file, but im saying the file i downloaded already seems to come unziped as a in example ( name of file.max ) now unlike on ps3 if i wanna load anything on there i have to make a folder in example ( PS3 --> SAVEDATA --> usually something like BLSU456 and some numbers, and i take that whole folder and load it, and usually everything works out ok. is that what needs to be done possibly to the ps2? or is it literally taking the.max file placing it on the usb stick, turning on the ps2, placing ar max in the drive, wait for it to load, go to memory card section, click the usb to the right, select the file in the left frame window, and copy it to the mem card on ps2?
sorry for the long description, but you guys have me very excited to play this game, my cousin gave me his ps2 over the weekend and 2k5 was the first game that came to mind, i come check out os and find all this great stuff you guys are doing, it's just awesome! really proud of you guys, this site is awesome man!
