Hello...
I tried connecting my USB (2.0 data traveler 128mb Kingston) to my Playstation 2. Thinking It would work as the playstatoin 2 supportsUSB keyboards and mice but the USB was not recognized :( . I wanted to copy files from Playstation 2 memory card to my data traveler. I figured that if peripheral devices were working fine, a software could be written to make the Playstastion 2 recognize the USB and hence be able to copy files from a Playstation memory card to USB. I did some research and found that initially Playstation 2 does not recognize the UBS flash memory or USB hard drive but a soft is available for this purpose called Max drive. It’s not available here in Pakistan and I can't ship to it from the site. Max drive seems a very high end GUI. What I have in mind is simple software which simply copies whole of the content of the memory card to the USB flash memory.
I am clueless to where to start and how to go about it. I'd like some leads in order to get started.
My questions:
1) What Lang should I use from programming I have worked on C/C++/Assembly ?
2) what would the code be like and is this forum the right place to ask for help ?
3)How hard can it be to write a software forthis purpose ?
Thanks!
