My USB Max Drive does & that's like 16 MB..But that's broke so I can't use it

Why can't it load ROM's up to 2 GB??

Can a 2 GB Pen Drive work loading ROM's??

Not all USB drives are the same. There are some "odd balls" out there that require special handling. It sounds like your two drives fit the bill. You might try contacting the author of the proggy about the issue. I've never used SNES Station on my PS2, but I did run into a similar problem with a USB stick I had with ULE that the author managed to fix.

I think USB support on the PS2 is a little squirrely anyhow.

Could there be formatting issues? 16 vs FAT32?

I'm using FAT32 on my 2GB stick. Could be a partitioning issue - some sticks come partitioned with a bunch of little partitions at the start of the stick for some odd reason. More than once, I've repartitioned the stick into one partition to get rid of all the other partitions.

If the PS2 shows a directory listing from the stick, that would clearly not be the problem.

And yes, the USB drivers for the PS2 can be a little squirrelly at times. They're much better now than when they first added USB support, but they can still have issues with some devices. I'm fortunate that my 2GB stick works without issue on my PS2.

Now it just freezes when saving and when trying to change something in the options menu as if it can't write to the MC or something.....

All my ROM's are on a USB Drive & SNES Station on the MC
