    Interesting, i'll try the q-tip technique. And i saw RGA's videos, perhaps i didn't watch them as thoroughly, i'll rewatch and see.

    I see a lot of modchip installs in ps2’s i buy and online. I’ve became sort of fascinated with modding the ps2. (before i was obsessed with the og xbox for like 5 months, but when i got my first ps2, everything on my bench has since been ps2.) i...

    So i’m LED modding this fat ps2 (30004) but i’ve ran into a small issue. I’m using a 24v LED strip, however my console has a 12v psu. And the other issue i have is that my strip has 3 pads. 1. 24v +, 2. R, 3. G, 4.B. I’m assuming i’m supposed to...

    What would happen if i install a modbo 5 and after some time uninstall it? Will it then brick it? And i was curious about those matrix 1.99 clones, i saw a video from RGA where he said that two facilities that manufacture the chip flash the fw...

    I heard people say stuff like "Modbo 5 isn't a real modbo, it's just a generic chip" and "Modbo 5 will brick your bios!! use modbo 4 instead" but where i live i can only get modbo 5 and mars pro 806hd, and i heard that the mars pro 806 has very...

    I heard on reddit of people saying „modbo 5 shit!!!” But ok, i’ll order one. And by the way the pot tweak didn’t work, the same friend said that before buying a new laser there’s still one thing and i’m still waiting for a reply.

    A friend suggested tweaking the laser pots also, so i’ll do that. But is modbo 5 from ali safe? I have my doubts

    Today i came across this ps2, the person who sent it to me said that „the tray opens and closes by itself” i thought „improper modchip install 100%” i opened it up and it had a little 8 wire pic chip wired up to the board, and one of the ribbon...

    Yes! I prefer the installation more than the actual result. And a ps2 modchip sound incredibly fun
  • KuraV12
    So i’ve been looking into what ps2 modchip to get. And at first i thought it’s as simple as „get a modbo 5 from ali and all good!” Well.. no, i see „experienced” modders saying „modbo 5 trash1! Use modbo 4” and then i see people like gusse, retro...

    KuraV12 replied to the thread PS2 with ripper modchip, issues.
    Ok? But will that help with the component or reading discs? And should i leave the pin connected there or resolder to the via?

    KuraV12 replied to the thread PS2 with ripper modchip, issues.
    Yes! It had/has the via/pin jumped to ground. And here’s the mobo:

    It's equivalent to a gt 560 which should be enough for ps3
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I won't need to hack a 360 @BigOnYa :tpi:

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    very gud case, but make sure you have the kinda PSU with very flexible cables

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd like one with support for a couple 3.5" bays though
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    not that, some psu like those corsair rm series stock cables have very big knicks that make it impossible to fit in there
