Alright, I've got a fliptop/swapdisc ps2 that is acting up on me. I've been reading around about stuff, and I've heard speak of a "memory card exploit" that boots code from your memory card. The only thing I know is that it requires a ps2 that can read burns or such to get it on there to begin with. I have that covered, by my quesion is, WHY would you do it? What is the benefit? I have yet to hear a WHY you would want it, only how to do it. Does it allow for a memory card-based portable modchip basically? Or is it just to load that HDload software without a disc? I'm terriblly confused here and am getting tired of wading through (and signing up for) crappy spam ps2 sites to figure this out.

Obviously, if this is a subject not welcomed, nuke the thread.
