Download a PS2 softmod program to the PC’s desktop, for example, the free “cogswap.elf” program (see the link in Resources). Double-click on the PS2 softmod file once it has downloaded to decompress it to a program on the desktop. Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port on the PC. COGSWAP – Similar to CDLOADER; FAPLINKFTP – This is the client that MUST be running on the PS2 when using, FAPLINK on your PC to transfer ISO’s to the PS2; GENESISEMU – Pretty clear what that is; SEGA MASTER SYSTEM – Play your SMS on your PS2; HDDMANAGER – This is the HDFORMAT utility that came with DMS4 chips. Because all you need to do is insert a disc, the same way you’d launch any other PS2 game. You don’t need to get a mod chip, you don’t need a special USB.
