USB game loading kinda sucks for PS2 softmods. You have a fat PS2, stick a hard drive into it. You need just need a network adapter (those are pretty cheap nowadays) if you have an old IDE HD that fits kicking around. If you don't have a IDE HD, they're making new SATA network adapters nowadays. But I think some of those may not actually have network ports? Which would be a problem if you wanna FTP games onto your HD. You'd might want to do a little research online if you go for a SATA adapter.
