hdd homebrew

i have a haddrive on my ps2 and ive read on these forums that if u dont have a mod chip u can run emulators directly on your ps2 hardrive
i downloaded snesStation for ps2 i followed the guide and had the iso ready for burning so i use hdldumb to transfer the .ISO to my ps2 hdd i put the name and where it says signature i did not put anything was because i dont know what to put so i just put the name of the app or emu.
i put snesS and scummVM when i loaded hdd app i loaded snes station and the screen just turned pink
oh i dont think im shure where you put the roms i remember the dreamcast you put them on the folder where the emulator was then make it into and .ISO using bootdreams. im not shure with the ps2 so i just made the iso of the emulator and with scummVM i remember you just put them on the folder then theres already a file tht makes the folder into an iso i put my floppy monkey island version and monkey island 2 then when i loaded scummVM on my ps2 hdd (i dont have a modded ps2) the screen turned black and it showed like a line of code so i gave up the other day i downloaded imbnes for ps2 i loaded the program and made an iso of the rom i tried then i transfered the iso using the method above and when i loaded it on my ps2 the screen just went black i triyed it again but it dosent work,iwhen i try to transfer it says ''the system cannot find file specified" i tried to make it varius times says the same thing. if anyone has had the same problem please help.
