Guest,
The short answer to your question is "yes."
And here's one of my earlier posts from another thread:
You could either mod your PS2, or you could use plastic pieces with a boot disc such as "slide card" or "twist tool."
Personally, I'm just not comfortable with openning my consoles and tinkering with their circuit boards.
So I use a "slide card" on my original, thicker PS2 and a "twist tool" on my newer, Slim-Line PS2.
A word of caution though, the "twist tool" "tool C" is a bit tricky to install. You'll need good lighting, a tiny screwdriver, and plenty of patience to correctly install it. But the "twist tool" is only necessary if you have a V13 or V14 Slim-Line PS2. If you have V12 Slim-Line or below, then you can use the more basic plastic parts (their name escapes me).
If you have an older/fatter PS2, then the "slide card" would be a piece of cake to install. You'll still need a tiny screwdriver, but the process is much less difficult.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
