What about the slidecard things? Those just require a boot DVD and a piece of plastic, no need for a memory card with software installed, and it works on every non-slim PS2 by exploiting a simple programmer's error in when to check for copy protection.
Yes but it doesn't work as good as a proper mod-chip. Most of the time you will have to keep resetting it.
But the fact is, you won't have to mod your ps2. As this will also let you boot homebrew off the memory card.
I got a friend to mod my PS2 for $10. The MEMOR32 is (from what I read) is $60. That's a damn big difference in price.
