Just started to look PS2 as something useful apart from Enjoyment.
I would like to write a hello world for PS2 to start of with.
My basic understanding goes like this
1. install a tool chain with PS2 SDK on my laptop
2. Write code and compile it using above set up
3. Write DVD with generated code
4. Put the DVD in playstation and boot.
5. Code should run
Is this understanding write ?

Well, you could... but that's a terrible waste of discs.
Basically you burn a program loader named ps2link (
http://ps2dev.org/ps2/Loaders/PS2_side_boot_loaders), boot the PS2 with this disc and then use a client (
http://ps2dev.org/ps2/Loaders/PC_side_clients) to load and run the program on the PS2 over the network.
This way you only have to burn one disc and can run programs on the PS2 directly from the pc you're working from.

What if I had a pendrive?
Is there any ready-to-use loader which explores usb massive storage devices?
Thx!

uLaunch elf is probably the best one around you can boot off usb, HDD, disk and memory card

You got that right. I have uLaunchELF set to run with the ID Exploit, so all I do is stick the stupid PS1 football disc in the PS2, wait for uLaunchELF to start, then I can run stuff off the USB stick. If I like it enough, I use uLaunchELF to copy it to the harddrive. That's also how I update SMS... put the latest SMS.elf on USB, then copy to the harddrive.
