pastebin.com/mCdjaHLC
This is a video showing the full process of exactly how I install my MODBO chips onto the PS2. I hope this helps someone improve a little, or makes their life a little easier. That's my goal of this channel. and also to entertain!
What is modbo?
Modbo chip allows your console to be region free, aswell as playing backup games from all regions. It even offers HDD support via USB.
What tools/wire/temperature do you use?
3mm chizel tip on the soldering iron
fine tweasers
fingernail cutters
30 awg kynar wire
350 degrees
Can you mod my ps2?

That's cableporn right there.
Haha, thank you, I should post these to forums and stuff like that but i dont know where to post them for people to see and enjoy
RETRO GAMING ARTS Go to Reddit or AssemblerGames.
I've never been on reddit once in my life, Dont even know where/what to do I'll put them on assembler games though
RETRO GAMING ARTS Don't worry, man. You'll get there. Because I got hope for you.
Thank you very much
Thank you for watching, Share your thoughts! Will this help you? If it wont help you was it still cool to see? let me know
Very nice work! Kinda like how I do mine: www.dropbox.com/sh/rinb1a1ie8hs278/AACY9G7FVqKqv9rpHgq23hKja?dl=0 and also this folder: www.dropbox.com/sh/4qdw4s4xl1w8iny/AABbTKSl68ujvSPEcX9lVwWNa?dl=0 this one is for other chip install diagrams: www.dropbox.com/sh/ce3wo7ajucfam5m/AAB8iRekW1JujGyTUPgB7xHxa?dl=0
The only thing that I mind in the video is the fingernail clippers. Or people using exacto knives or razors. They will work in a pinch but I recommend these: www.amazon.com/Hakko-CHP-170-Micro-Cutter/dp/B076M3ZHBV/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525193368&sr=8-3-fkmr1&keywords=hakko+wire+stripper+30awg and this www.amazon.com/Hakko-CSP-30-1-Stripper-Maximum-Capacity/dp/B00FZPHMUG/ref=pd_sim_328_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00FZPHMUG&pd_rd_r=A4FB5FCJNJYDE8HJ4QPA&pd_rd_w=DnC0t&pd_rd_wg=tmUdD&psc=1&refRID=A4FB5FCJNJYDE8HJ4QPA and for the via points: www.amazon.com/SE-7616SB-Fiberglass-Scratch-Brush/dp/B003NHDITW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1525193625&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=fiberglass+pen+radioshack I will post a complete list of my tools if you want and not just for soldering (EVERY tool). Cheers man, you've got a subscriber!
Those beautiful looking and neatly arranged wires has made this electrician extremely happy.
Not sure I’d try this myself though, but give me 25mm cable anytime and I’ll show you the same beautiful work on a much larger scale
I watched this like a couple of years ago,then I successfully modded 2 PS2 Slims and 3 PS1 and some Famiclones. I you can get passed this modding combined with patience on understanding electronics, you can pretty much handling a lot of modding. Thank you RETRO GAMING ARTS.
There is such a charm to soldering and ps2 modding, they go together very neatly to the point where if there was a 5 hour video of ps2 soldering i would not mind watching
I wish i could be with you and watch you do my ps2 cuz this is an amazing perfect work so clean and so nice just perfect
You really do some beautiful work! Greetings from Arizona.
Thank you very much for checking me out, and sticking around some
The cableing is superb !!
This is just art. Honestly Beautiful... Just like the background music. One of the Absolute greatest soundtracks there
I know this videos a little old, but thankyou very much. I've done hundreds of gamecube mods and was always nervous by people saying this is super hard mod for ps2. So thankyou for the tips and the confidence booster
I'm doing it like this:
1. Fluxing the area
2. make solder points on the contacts where it's necessary
3. solder the wire to the prepared points.
The fluxing is only necessary if there are multiple contacts you DON't want to bridge. (I used to do it without flux and it's one hell of a drag to fix a bridged conenction without flux.
You just explained one word, you said it very well, your warm time was really great. You have thousands of likes. Without any additional explanation, you just did a card.
Thank you
great video bud keep up the good work
good to see how other people do ps2 mods :)
hey thanks killahmods! That's the goal, share informationq
This video is like that one time you went live during 'Pimp" my Console Thursdays. Many of the same guys showed up....you should live stream again. Anyhow, the way you organize the wires is an art.
Michael Aranda hahahah, thanks michael, with my new clean work station i can start doing more live streams in the shop, it was ALOT to setup last time. But now that im almost finished it will be alot easier
Michael Aranda thank you for the art comment by the way, thats what im going for
Michael will always rally for Pimp My Console Thursdays lol
Just received my chips and can't be more excited to give this a go. I will film the process and upload it to my tech channel.
Aaron Johnson where is video? You modded your PS 2 or not?
Thanks!
I am editing my mod attempt right now. I hope to have it up soon.
Man after watching Voultar solder directly to the pins I was about to give up, I see you are using the side pads, for the most part, thats SO much easier.
for some of the ps2's there's alternate solder points you can use, depending on the motherboard revision, and soldering the the pins can be tricky on certain chips, the main chip on the ps2, the fine pitch can be tricky, flux + 30 awg kynar + fine tip = you win :-) i know you can do the fine pitch soldering, maybe if you have a broken one or something, practice some random soldering on a fine pitch chip before you attempt on your personal. but me, i would just go for it.
Omg beautiful work
Good stuff!
Thank you yo, I feel it's important to share our tips and tricks, ya know? help the community grow
I love your Nier Background Music :D and very nice Work btw^^
Hell yes!! And thank you! My ps2 modwork in some of my newer videos is alot better than this, this video was over a year ago. I've improved greatly. But thank you for enjoying!
I got the nier automata music you are playing on vinyl. Guess I'm gonna play it next time I do this mod^^
Immaculate job.. absolutely superb..!!
Paul i gotta say i watched this and it gave me enough courage to take a stab at chipping my ps2 and it was a sucess.
Hell yes!! And great job!
This one wasn't even one of my good ps2 videos, check out another one of mine if you plan to do another.
None the less, great job to you, im happy
I got confused at first because i didnt have that type of wire used, so when i put it together the first time it booted but wouldnt read any discs wire was too thick. So i robbed the wire i had on my ps1 chip which was the same stuff so i had to recycle and kinda out source but it works.
Well... I just ordered the 5.0 (PS2) board. I've got a fat and slim and might attempt this on the fat. This why I can keep my HDD neatly tucked away instead of using the USB HHD option. Super excited to give this a go.
heyo, how did it go?
I was expecting Voultar commenting on this) Modwork looks neat, I will try to do the same with my PS2
thank you, lots of tops and techniques in lots of my vids, i hope they help, let me know how your ps2 turns out
Ok, I'll tell when it's done. Not to soon though, lots of IRL stuff to do before I get my hands on that.
@iKarith I just posted a new ps2 video, I'm pretty much using the same methods, but i talk alot more about the solder points. The new video isn't my best work but its pretty cool cuz i install it on a Crystal Chip witch we dont get to see very often
you do some of the cleanest work that ive ever seen
Thank you, is this the only video of mine you have seen? I just did a newer one of the same mod and if you wanna see some of my best, i post that on instagram. either way. thank you so much
Nice NieR RepliCant music in the background ;) #yonahIsBestSister
THANK YOU FOR HEARING IT!! HELL YEA!
Nice work.
The colours are really nice.
U r having better wire management than all tech youtuber like linus tech tips and all others
Thanks, this was an old one, please watch a newer ps2, theyre WAAAAY better than this one and all these in this video. But still, thank you very very much
Koudelka battle music and good advises! THANK YOU! )
This is the best soldring job i ever seen in modchips ur the best ever i mean it just one thing will this chip play ps1 burnd disk's and will it work on ps2 slim 90004 model ?
Ahmad Maher thank you very much. Yes this chip will play ps1 burned games. And it will work on that model ps2. The chips are available on my website for sale. And i will always reply. Thank you again
You make it look so easy! I can't even tin my wire. I'm applying flux to it first but the rosin core solder won't stick to it???
it's kinda tricky to get the wire to be tinned, try applying solder to the iron, having a small dab on the iron, and then using the flux to transfer the solder from your iron to the wire. have the wire ontop of where your going to solder it to. this is the wrong way to do it, but it can work if your having some troubble. this modwork in this video is very old and bad and i'm uploading a better version of this video that focues more on the solder joints very soon!
Most people wont recognize it but I like your background music. I believe its from koudelka. :P
YES!! hahahahah good ear
Beautiful..
NAIL CLIPPERS! GENIUS!
Que organizado, otimo trabalho, bem paciente
Never done it tbh but every year I admit I am tempted to mod stuff
I am going to attempt this here very soon on my ps2 slim. I prefer a modchip installed. I do have to say i failed at the one i did years ago. I didn't know about why the wire wouldn't stick to the small thru-hole parts of the motherboard. I now have a fiberglass brush i can use to get that coating off and hopefully will enjoy doing this finally!
Nice, I did a few other videos on the ps2, the matrix infinity install on a slim video may be very very helpfull to you. But the scratch pen you got will do wonders
Love your channel and in dire need of some good flux mind sharing the brand and possibly link where you get your flux from? Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Hey! Thank you so much! So, there's Various Types of flux, For a liquid flux this is a good 2 pack, so you get to try 2 different concentrations and see what you like more (I use both, they both work fantastic, some people will prefer 1 over the other)
www.ebay.com/p/60-Ml-Combo-Kester-951-Kester-186-Soldering-Lead-Flux-No-Clean/12027470326?iid=273630692108&chn=ps
Now here is a flux paste, i call it jelly flux cuz it has the constancy of jelly.. (lol) I use this for different applications depending on the situation.
www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MG-Chemicals/8342-50G?qs=6SAGcVcpVil6QxsjfUWJgQ%3D%3D&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-JXiBRCpARIsAGqF8wXq1Af-asIg1i2gkZODI2IPfKgHj7ZS9pj2xqXnE58Gav_tpSrrUr8aAg_6EALw_wcB
now in my personal experience, no clean liquid flux is a GAME CHANGER.. however I still uses the jelly flux quite frequently. Either or will work for quite some time. It really just comes down to preference. just as a general FYI, MG Chemicals is a top tier brand for all sorts of various soldering equipment, not essential to use that particular brand, you can use knockoff brands and get away just fine! Or use Kester, another extremely reputable brand.
Side note, here's the EXACT Kynar wire i use
(i use 3 different types, but this is a great one)

Thank you very much for perusing my channel, anything you need to know dont hesitate to ask, there's alot of information on here, but I'm always happy to go more in depth. and if its an extensive topic just tell me to make a video about it!
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Hey thank you so much for taking the time to reply, it's very much appreciated! It's a right pain to find quality flux in Serbia and it's too expensive even for the the cheaper quality stuff hence I asked. Will definitely buy some of the "jelly" flux, I would call it tacky flux but hey jelly does fine too. Thanks again for replying and providing links, kuddos to you brother.
@@beogeek I got you! I hope you can find it for a decent price! Good luck and thank you
i've never heard of using nail clippers for this. i know cheap side cutters are a nightmare, and i could definitely see nail clippers being better. but have you tried a nice pair of side cutters by like, hakko or xcelite or something? they're not that expensive, but they're heavenly
I recently installed a modbo 5.0 in a 39001 and when I reinstall the metal plate that sits on top of the chip I get a black screen + the blue led light doesn't light up. With the metal plate removed everything works great.. not sure what's going on with it? I've put electrical tape over the chip and all the solder points to make sure they aren't touching the metal so i'm a little comfused on what is wrong. Any thoughts?
Love it.
Thank you, while your checking out my vids. Help me out, leave comments so I can see what videos you naturally decide to watch. But one of my favorites is "sega saturn mission stick" that one is super cool. Thank you so much
Loving the Neir Automata soundtrack Easter egg.
I love how you noticed 😀😀
RETRO GAMING ARTS unforgettable soundtrack.
Dare I say, best video game sound track?
Really cool man art!! But the only thing I don’t really agree is super glue..for some reason I found out over the years that it makes plastic and other materials brittle..I also don’t like the white residue and the reaction happening I also found out even fumes of superglue can destroy things crazy..but some times it works 👍
your 100% right, super glue works by melting the plastics and binding it together it seems, so it can deteriorate the wires over time, that's why i try to use as little as possible, thank you very much for watching (by the way, this is a bad one! wait till you see some more recent videos!)
I stopped trying to solder to the gold traces when I do those mods now. I am not sure if my iron has been too hot at times, but I have had multiple boards where those little traces would detach from the board and break during the process. I just do it off the chip pins itself now or get wire tiny enough where I can put it down in those little contacts with the holes.
Great vid man, what is the name of the flux you use?
this is just a non-spill paste, rosin soldering flux, it's radio shack brand, kester 186 no clean flux is the better option, but i'm still trying to use up all my non spill paste flux
I like the Nier song in the back so I will do this mod. That was all it took lmao
Hell yeah nier soundtrack
Nice work, what type of glue are you using?
super glue, i just did another ps2 modding video explaining all the tools used and it goes in depth, i have 10 videos or so about this aswell lol, but my newer ones goes over every tool, thank you for watching
Great job.....
With Clear case with some sort of led cables ..........i dnt think it exsists
This looks equally or even better than Voultar's PS2 jobs 😁
atleast cable managment seems like
Quick question i want to attempt this on a FAT Ps2, will this chip work on it? I also have the slim , but prefer the fat models! What guage is the thicker wire??
are all ps2 slims the same layout. or the ones with power bricks at least as my ps2 slim is the one with power brick/adaptor
Have you ever used magnet wire? I switched up about 5 years ago and never looked back. For me, it has been a ton easier to use and comes out looking sexy as hell too.
I haven't, I've seen it used, thought about it, but for ps2s I wouldent because I'm stuck in my ways now lol, however! Theres a ton of other applications I've thought of that I do want to use it for, just havent gotten around for those projects yet
Hi, thank you for vid. Just a question about the B point on v7. You seems to solder above the point recommended by the modbo diagram. What is the reason? And what are the effects ? Thank you again.
Cant remember as I've done alot of these. Either me and you are looking at 2 different diagrams(consitancy between diagrams isnt exact) Or I soldered to the wrong point and fixed it later.
This vid wasnt supposed to be a 1-1 guide like that, mainly wanted to show the wire managment. I'm actually editing a video about a crystal chip install on a japan ps2. Will be uploaded in a few hours. This way you can see how much in ive progressed😃
Thanks, that’s helpful. What kind of flux do you use?
Mg chemicals no clean liquid flux
@@RETROGAMINGARTS is that the jelly flux? Because I've seen a few comments in the past asking for the jelly flux and you say it's in video description but I've watched all of your PS2 vids and never once seen anything other than the instruction paste bin.
Can you tell which type of superglue you are using? Is it cianoacrylate or other one?
I'm going to be doing a fat and a slim pretty soon... or at least as soon as I find guides for them, any ideas where to look? 🤔
Hey mate, can you tell me where you got the modbo5 chip from? As I wanna make sure I get a good one
Do these install the same 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, because all the diagrams i found for my model are only 3.0, 4.0
What exactly are you doing these mods for? Sound improvements? Video enhancements? What are you doing and why?
to play backups and imports, and hdd support
Can you tell me what modchip do i have. It says when i put a disc matrix infinite v.1.99. Is it modchip v5. I just bought this with sata and 500gb hdd. I'm a freaking noob on mods because i only play original games.
Loading times on internal hdd is awesome by the way.
marjo pardo you could solder it or use a mc card with free mcboot, if you dont have the tools to creat a free mcboot memory card just buy one for 10$ on ebay/amazon
Hey, i have a PS2 SCPH-50004 GH-023 PAL which im looking to mod with ModBo 5.0. I found an a wiring diagram for it on Quade (it should be V9) and i cant really orient myself where soldering points should be. So i tought i could get some tips from the master of moding.
Can this chip work for the SCPH 50004 series of PS2 fat consoles and are laser protection diodes needed? Which consoles need diodes to protect the laser? Please answer me. Thank you very much :)
I have PTSD from the intro that Tales fucked me over so many times 😭. However it was a very fun game and this was very fun to watch
The modbo chip is a great copy of the MI, but if possible, use the one where the BIOS is stored. Among some MI clone chips, there are garbage chips that the BIOS cannot save. 1:56 The soldering difficulty of this part is high. My friend messed up the ps2 board while trying it lol
I did a video about the crystal chip. And the original matrix infinity, and duo3, and my entire chip collection, check out some of my newer ps2 mod vids, there's alot of them
I'm looking for a way to boot PS1 backups on the PS2 without POPStarter. Does this work for that? Thanks for any help.
Yes it does
Does the wire need to be kynar specifically? Would a silicon or rubber wire work as well?
I wanna put a dms3 on my ps2 50001,should I use the same wires? Those thicker ones are the same for dms3 too? I know where each wire goes I just don't know what wires I should use,which ones should I use for dms3?
I don't know how to solder. What do you recommend like tips/tricks/tutorials learning how solder before I try modding my PS2?
I've done multiple videos on that subject, I put them all in a playlist called "solder basics" I would watch that whole video series. The "getting into console modding and repairs" video is the absolute best for you I think
Do you use Flux core solder along with your Flux? Or non Flux solder?
I try to mod my ps2 slim and i have one question what happends if the pads on your modchip gone off ?? i put flux and soldering iron and nothing i have to replace my modchip now ?
How to remove it letter if we use super glue? And dose super glue can be short when get connection to ic ?
i tried few days ago to install an sd card reader on the slim, and failed pretty much. i could not properly solder the super small contacts and pretty much kept just bridging over and over... its a wonder to me that this console still works
HEy! i'm seeing this comment 4 months late, but my newest video is another PS2 install, where i touch ALOT on techniques for the solder joints themselves, maybe it can help if you try ps2 again in the future
i modded 2 systems now i want to mod the third which is the board GH-013 i found a diagram but it has the original matrix chip instead, i have the modbo 4.0 i want to be sure.
i've pieced together original matrix infinity install diagrams with modbo 3.0 diagrams in order to do some modbo 5.0.. lol it's possible, I would try, just be ready to test, because i had to do some testing in order to get the correct install points
Hey there bro! I had a question; I have a test ps2 console (dtl_h30001) and I was curious do you know the mechanism behind it like the mod chip used if there is any? If anyone knows I'd love to learn
The bios in the ps2 has a region and security protection, it scans the disc to see the region and type of media, and if its not official ps2 disc or the programmed region. It doesn't read it.
In the test units. They ommited this, witch makes it easier for developers to test their games in progress, so they could burn them to a disc and play them, before they where finished.
The modchips are essentially a reprogrammed bios, that injects its code into the ps2 before the bios does, and the modchips are similar to the bios on your test unit.
Thank you for finding this video. Please check out more of my ps2 related videos, this is my worst ps2 video. I think you'll really enjoy the rest.
Anymore questions never hesitate to ask or hit me up with video ideas, be apart of this and help me shape this channel. You have a voice here.
Does the glue you set to install the wires affect the piece?
No effect. Using light amounts of glue helps
What are you using to film this work? Is it a camera on a microscope? Or a video microscope. . . .?
Sony adr55 4k camcorder. The zoom on it is extremely good
Then I use davinci resolve14.5 to edit
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Nice!
Hello retrogammingarts,
What superglue do you use to keep the wires on the chips?
Also, do you know where R609 is located on a GH-026 motherboard? It should be a 10k ohm resistor leading to pin 78 of the drive security processor.
Thanks in advance!
Regular branded super glue, but I get the one that has the brush, the brush makes it alot easier. Ans for exact location of that resistor, id need to look at a schematic and a motherboard, why do you need to know, what happened?
@@RETROGAMINGARTS thanks for the reply. I've been trying to backport the comsoft laserfix to the 5000x series PS2s. I installed in on a v9 but the only thing it does is keep the fan running at full speed and unable to turn off the console unless I use the mains on off switch. R609 seems to be connected to the INT line which was used for the v12 slim. Following that logic it should trace to pin 78 of the drive security processor where b,g,h,i,a,y are soldered to. Unfortunately the gh026 service manual i have doesn't clearly show side b and shows very little of side a.
I sent a link with more info to your Twitter, just have to switch to page 1 of that post. I'll double check my Dropbox for the zip folder.
Thanks in advance!
Thats so cool, I just read both of these, you figured it out??? Your over here installing comsofts on ps2 fats?? Where did you even get the comsofts lolol.
This is so cool
@@RETROGAMINGARTS I was able to get the v4 archive from Kel over on assembler games and now obscure games. I was able to create a pcb from the .brd file that was originally in the archive the other files like final_draft_labeled etc are the completed files. There is an msop version Id like to finish for myself as I originally ordered the wrong form factor for the ics.
The gh026 doesn't have an official schematic yet as I wasn't able to find a good service manual to screenshot the points. Might see if I can take more pics and upload those soon. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to unchip my board though.
Anyways, I have lots of ps1 and ps2 files on 3 hard drives so everything stays safe.
Cheers again!
@Retrogammingarts,
Follow the latest posts by Kel from this link: www.obscuregamers.com/threads/comsoft-v4-fix-confirmed.2978/
Upon further testing only Ps2 DVD games work on the v10 from my attempts, ps1 cd based games and ps2 cd based games cause the system to turn off.
I wanted to remove the matrix modchip from my fat ps2 because it ruins my hdd use. Can i just cut the wires that connects the modchip??. I'm not even a rookie in these soldering things. Needed help
Yes just cut them
I have one question, do these chips, that have the wires running over them, heat up and can potentially damage the wires or make them shortcurcuit if their isolation melts?
i feel not enough heat is generated to cause any issues
where can i find the how to guide for the ps2 silver slim i can do it myself i just need the guide on what to solder where.
Here's the video I did about ps2 slim modding, this has lots lots more info about it, I go over Install diagrams, how to find them, and theres a text guide I put in the description, much more informative ua-cam.com/video/MewK8X3_7Rg/v-deo.html
Does this allow you to play ps1 games from any region as well?
Using a paintbrush for spreading flux. Clever
Thanks for noticing lol
I have a question about a UO version ps2 motherboard. It's so old. It came before the version in the video.
I don't know where to put led power and grounding. I've looked and looked and nothing. Maybe you will know.
This version ps2 doesn't have a band going to the power/ cd eject button. It has, instead 5 very thin white wires.
you can find power and ground from the power supply
What is the glue you use in the 11:03 minute?
Its call crazy glue
What temp is your iron set to? I had a Hakko fine point tip that started out great, but after less than a month, the tip doesn't heat uniformly anymore. Wondering if I should crank the iron above 333 degrees?
325-350
Do you tin your tip and clean it with flux? Do you change tips while iron is on? Is your filliment clean? Trying to figure our why it doesnt heat evenly
RETRO GAMING ARTS I tin it occaisionally with flux cored solder, but I clean it with a brass wire cleaner thing, and it's very bright and shiny. The chisel tip I use is still working perfectly, but the point tip os now only useful halfway up. It's from a reputable seller, but the iron came with a similar tip that degraded quickly.
Can you link me to the tip you use? It looks a lot smaller than mine in the video, but a web search shows a tip similar to the one I have (sorry for being demanding!)
What are the advantages over softmodding?
old day of modding : this video
today modding : nude mod.
Tired mine yesterday and normally I'm good at soldering, I just did an Nintendo Switch lite and had no problem. Didn't have a chisel tip maybe that was my problem? Once I got to soldering the Sony chip I was screwed. i ALSO BOUGHT 30 awg wire but it still got in the way and bridged connections any help for someone who's first starting PS2 mods. Also I use a magnify glass not a microscope can't afford on yet. Oh and if you guys care about retro consoles my pins are broken on my PS2's Sony chip could use help finding a replacement please. And awesome video it inspired me to do this mod.
Ps1 is excellent practice for ps2 mods. Maybe the tip is the issue. I've used various different tips on my ps2 mods tho. I've done several ps2 videos. They all show different techniques and use different tools, watch my other ps2 videos to learn more, they will probably help. A few trys, and a bit of patience and you'll be able to do it very well. I know it
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Thanks alot I really admire the work you do. Ill keep watching your videos and practicing more. I recently did another ps2 got all the soldering down good but I must be missing something. The ps2 goes on but no mod menu. I'll keep up with it until I get it. Thank you alot for the reply
What kind of solder iron should I use?
You sound like Matthew Broderick, in the moment.
Hahaha. I'm filming a 2nd ps2 mod video right now. For when I come back to making videos again. The goal for this one is to sound like david spade. Wish me luck
Hello What awg do you use for ground and power?
can you give a link for a chisel tip for T12 iorn please
Pretty sure if I open my PS2 the modchip looks like it's the facehugger from Alien.
After installing the chip on my SCPH-75000 the disc drive is dead/does not spin anymore. Anyone an idea how to fix that/what's the cause?
Hi, which version of PS2 (SCPH) phat has the best quality (less game reading failure rate) and is the best and easiest to mod with MODBO? Thanks
v7-v10
Has anyone done a USB 2.0 Mod? This would be for eliminating studder for ps2 games being played off a flash drive
Omg. On mine, holy hell those little vias are a pain in the ass
Hi, i have a Japanese Fat Console Model 15000, it will work if i use this Modbo Chip?
