ps2 isnt exactly hacking, you set up fmbc, you mount your iso to a hdd for your network adapter.

very easy to do and plenty of step by step guides with links to tools on google.

you have no disc drive and no usb ports.

then thats step number 1 for you to do, find at least a computer with a usb port, disc drive a bonus or can grab a usb one.

i have usb ports

i have usb ports

then as mentioned, either grab a usb drive and burn games, or if you want to load them onto a hdd for your adapter then thats also a easy google search with guide, likely find one on here somehwere if you use the search

you need to google for a guide that will tell you what you need, i cant remember off top of my head it was many year a go, but you need an app to mount/format a hdd to work on the ps2 adapter, it needs to defrag each time.

its not as simple as drag drop iso to a hdd and put it into ps2, but it is easy to do

Basically with what you have on hand, I don't think what you want is possible. Without access to a normal PC and some sort of DVD drive or ability to install software for network tricks... Kind of at a dead end.

You could always get someone to do you a fmbc memory card and try run your games via network lan...... I think that was another option, not sure if I remember right, as dont see sense in playing backups on ps2, the games are pretty cheap to buy or can get a nice bundle placing a local advert on Facebook and you never know, you may find some decent games that are a decent value.

Tho, im never the fat greedy scalper retro collector that takes advantage of people like this, the type that laugh at buying a massive bundle that has some gems worth a good value and then give next to nothing for it all then sell it on at its asking price, the same fat scalpers that always try give you a low ball offer so they can profit.

I despise them, they ruin retro gaming and shouldn't class themselves as collectors, they're simply have no love for retro other than making a profit.

I am always open and clear if I find someone offering me a bundle without knowing its value, im honest and will tell them itz worth and give them more.

I dont buy to re sell, I buy to add to my collection, I see retro gaming as a way to enjoy the good old days, not laugh and make a profit.

Tho, I hope when I die my mrs (which I doubt she will) sells my shit and have scalpers take the piss, I often reminds me how stupid I am to pay good money for old games when the graphics look shit.

My dear padawan, its not about thr graphics, its about the memories, and I hope my 7 year old son will carry on my collection, or maybe my 3 year old daughter.

What does your hard drive currently have on it in your FAT console? No usb over 4gb will usually work through the usb unless its Powered hard drive and formatted to Fat32.
