How do USB flash drives work on an ITG2 machine?

I'm going to CHQ eventually (I only get to play video games on vacations) and I bought a USB flash drive today. My question is: how do you prepare it for an ITG2 machine?

if your arcade has r21 and you want to play custom songs your first time using it, just create a folder called "In The Groove 2" on the root of the drive, then inside, create a folder called "Songs" and put all your .ogg and .sm only simfiles there!

Check the back of the box. It has to say "No drivers required" for it to work on ITG. If it says something like "Compatible with Windows 98 and up" or "No drivers required for Windows ME/XP," it won't work.

If all else fails, check the USB card FAQ for your brand and see what it says.

I'm not even too sure where my box is actually, but it's a Sandisk Cruzer Mini 512MB and I've heard that they worked for ITG. Maybe it's the ITG machines that I played on? I'm going again tonight, and if it doesn't work, I don't know.

EDIT: Alright, I just got back from the arcade and it just randomly started to work and I didn't even do anything to it. WTF? o.o

Preferabbly a SanDisk; so far I haven't encountered one that hasn't worked.

The drive compatibility is: FAT or FAT32

Do you guys think the Sandisk 216 mb flash drive will work fine for itg stuff? I bet it will, just like to make sure before I buy it.

You just plug it in! Of course make sure there is room in the stick to hold the memory. But as when I put my flash drive (of a whole crazy amount of 128mb

) I go home and the ITG machine created a whole new file for the screenshots and everything! You can always delete that file too on your flash drive, and it should(for me it always did) just create another file for you, next time you play. But it is better to keep the file on the stick, just because it will keep your nickname when you do the next play etc.

Edits are fine on a 32 meg. All you need for an edit is the .sm (read: .txt) file. You're right about R21 songs, though.

OK so I just got a 256 Sandisk Cruzer Micro. I plugged it into my ps2 and tried to transfer my edits that I made from ITG2 BETA to the card, but it wouldn't even let me access the "transfer to usb drive" menu. Although I realize almost none of you know anything about the itg2 ps2 beta, does anyone know why it's not working? My guess is that since it's just a beta, they didn't bother to actually set up the usb stuff, right?

I'll probably just figure out how to make stepmania edits...

I'm planning on going to an arcade with ITG2 soon, but it's a long way away and I'll only be able to go occasionally, so what do I have to do to get my long name to show up the first time I play?
