and please help me play games on my ps2 its my dream
 
Some modchips have an ability to load an app from mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF while (mostly) holding :but r1: (DEV1).
If you do not have anything like that on your memory card and your laser does not work
you won't be able to install FMCB on your console.

Maybe one of your friends has a SLIM PS2 with working laser?
If yes. Write this image on a DVD-R* disc (All PS2 Slims - English language.iso):
https://github.com/CTurt/FreeDVDBoot/tree/master/PREBUILT ISOs.

Then put FMCB on a USB-Disk and install it:

Entry points are:
  • internal HDD (so not for Your model; easiest possible way to hack),
  • DVD-Video on DVD-R (only Slims are fully compatible),
  • Yabasic (part of demo CD attached to early models but not finished, only PoC),
  • PSX game (also not for Your model),
  • cheat device on DVD (Swap Magic, Code Breaker, Action Replay Max etc),
  • PS2 MC (already exploited, installed on another console or PC if have original PS3 Memory Card Adaptor).
There is NO other way.

In theory, it should be doable to use Network Access Disc and use man in the middle attack to redirect to our own www to exploit it but no one yet investigate it as there are easier methods.

If You have modchip, then You could use CD-R or DVD-R to burn on it uLE (mode2 for CD, mode1 for DVD; one and close session, You need to write SYSTEM.CNF for executable). After booting uLE on PS2, You can install FMCB on Memory Card from i.e pendrive.

the thing is my dvd player is broken so that sounds like a big problem
 
well unfortunately, all entry points relies on the network adapter's HDD or a exploited memory card or some sort of discs that can run unsigned code (swapdisc, gameshark, freedvdboot).

since you have a dead optical drive anyway, the easiest way is to get a FMCB pre-installed memory card.
 
Don't you have any friends with an official PS3 Memory Card Adaptor?
Or any friends with a PS2 and a working lens?
