Miss so much my old PS2. It's nice to see that people is still working stuff for it.

You asked "why" toward the end of the video... the answer is simple. The Playstation 2 only has USB 1.1 ports (1.5MB/s), which has even less bandwidth than the CD speeds (3.6MB/s) and DVD speeds (5.28MB/s). Since most PS2 games are on DVD discs, only games that were relatively small but still pressed onto DVDs (mainly the outer edge of a DVD disc for speed reasons) will play from USB. Most of the data for any game that fails to work will be in the form of full motion videos and textures, both of which require higher bandwidth than the USB ports are capable of providing.

best way on a slim it to combine FMCB memory card and use a cheap $25 micro router with USB share or cheap $25 android tv box with USB extended storage capability. That way you can hook up a USB thumbstick or HDD at USB2 or USB3 speeds to the micro router or android tv box and use an ethernet cable to connect that device to the slim's ethernet jack and get 100Mb/sec thruput on loading your isos in OPLs network mode. This simulates what a PS2Netbox could do for $200 back when you could buy that thing. Nowadays you can DIY for under $50 if you already have a thumbstick or HDD to use.

USB1.1 should have enough bandwidth that it should rival the read speed of a DVD Drive. But yeah, loading games through USB is heck slower on PS2. Loading games via SMB (network shares) is a lot better, though SMB is known to be a CPU hog when used but it works much better than USB in PS2. Of course loading games on HDD is much better but meh, I opted using SMB since I have a NAS with a bunch of HDDs on it.

slim one delta force with friends was my childhood

Hello..this video is what I was looking for! Thanks :)

My playstation 2 is from the year 2000. It's the fat model. It is now 22 years old and still works like the first day. I now have a hard drive installed and play from there. It's much faster than the USB port.

Since you asked, I got a fatty at launch, and it messed up. Then, I got a slim in silver, and it messed up. Now I have another slim in black. So far so good.

Could you use an HDD instead of a USB or can they be interchangeable when it comes to holding your roms

If you have the Fat, yes. I have the slim with a mini router that has USB SMB share with a 64 GB USB thumb drive. It works.

Didn't really care about gaming as an adult but had an old PS1 plugged in that I'd occasionally play with friends. A buddy thought he'd do me a favour and bought me a cool new game that we'd seen in an advert for Christmas (a costly purchase at the time). I went to pick it up (it was an early release) and found that it was for the PS2; didn't want to tell him and burst his bubble so I bought a PS2 slim right then and there (grudginly :). Never did tell him and we both played the game with enjoyment ...
