The only comprehensive PS2 hardware manuals I know of are the ones provided by SCE. These come with the PlayStation2 Linux Kit or professional development kits. You can not get them legally any other way.
It's worth buying the linux kit just for the manuals IMHO.
C++ is fine for the Emotion Engine, but not so suitible for the IOP. But you'll want to avoid using millions of templates and the like.
If you're planning on doing 3D, it's good to be able to write assembly too. The vector units are extremly powerful and cannot be coded for in C or C++.
Hope this helps.
