USB port question

[ozirock]

Is there any way I can watch my videos from my portable hard drive using the a normal slim ps2 with no mod chips or anything. Is there a way I could run linux from the hard drive or something? This may be a stupid question but I really have not got a clue.

i think you cannot watch movie without any mod. CMIIW
but you can watch the movie from dvd.

Fair enough, I just know you can do it with the ps3 so I taught maybe there was a way of getting the same result from the ps2. It's a great console regardless.

you could watch movies on it but you have to have free mcboot. and to run linux on the ps2 your gonna have to have a fat one cuz the slim ones they still have bugs
