Usb?

I'm sort of new to In The Groove, so could someone explain what's up with USB's?

Questions

:

-Are they only for storing pictures of scores? If not, what else could you do?
-How do you take the pictures?
-Where do you buy them?
-How much are they roughly?
-Do you need to install anything on the card or anything like that before you can use it at the arcade?

-Are they only for storing pictures of scores? If not, what else could you do?
They also hold your scores and calories burned, as well as they can hold almost anything you can fit onto them from a computer, such as homework.
-How do you take the pictures?
If it is a dedicab press the red button at the score screen, if it is an upgraded machine press both the left and right menu buttons at the same time
-Where do you buy them?
You can buy them at most electronics store such as best buy, or radioshack
-How much are they roughly?
They cost anywhere from $15 for a 128 to $32 for a 512, or even less depending on where
-Do you need to install anything on the card or anything like that before you can use it at the arcade?
Just plug it in to the USB slots, it knows what to do[/b]

Don't forget though, the filing system must be FAT32. Or at least that's what I've heard.

VERY important note:

When buying a new USB drive, make CERTAIN that the box says "No drivers required." If it says something like "No drivers required for Win98 and up," it's still no good. You have to get one that says "No drivers required," period.

Thanks for the responses guys I was pretty confused.
I'm probably just going to save some money and buy one off eBay. Could someone post a link to the best memory stick available on eBay? (One that ships to Canada.) Also, how much memory do I need? 1 GB, 2 GB....?
I'd just assume that buying one with more memory than I need just so I'll never run out of memory. You people decide for me, as I have no clue.

It depends on what you want to use it for. If ALL you're using it for is ITG2, you'll need a lot less than you think. I have a Lexar JumpDrive (128MB model) I got from Wal-Mart for something like $13, and it's only used a little over 5MB with like 100 screenshots on it. Suffice to say that with as rarely as I go an arcade, even if I screenshot every song I ever pass, I won't fill it up for awhile.

If you're going to use it for other things, then yeah, I'd go a little larger, but ITG2 data doesn't take up much at all.

Yes, it's going to be used ALL for ITG 2. Nothing else.
It just seems like edits are going to be taking up a bit of space considering I'll be getting edits for almost every song.

I just don't EVER want to run out out of room, lol. I'll probably go for the 512 megabyte Sandisc Micro Cruzer memory stick off eBay. It seems like a pretty decent deal. If anyone sees a better auction, please post it.

I woulden't get it off of ebay, it's a possibility It's a bootleg/non working one.
