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 have done one modchip rewiring myself, but it was very unprofessional. Joints were good, it’s just the wire management that was basic af. But i’ve ordered some modbo 5’s on ali and i’m preparing for a few installs, only problem i keep having is wire management. I have one super glue (pattex branded 1g tube) but it cures too slow, and the result of that is that i have to hold my wires to the board for an extremely long tome which hurts (others on the net don’t seem to he having this issue). Another thing is that it leaves a white powder type residue, i think it’s fine for the board, it just doesn’t look as good. Original Loctite glue is very expensive, and i don’t know what to do. Can anyone here give some tips?
How to achieve nice wire management results? Like you see on photos and stuff.

Retro Gaming Arts has modchip install videos along with advice on how to improve your work, maybe you should give him a watch. For holding the wires together, I use a dab of super glue then I use a Q-Tip to spread it evenly to create a ribbon cabble. Do not use too much as it can rip the silicon tubing and damage the wires. Then, with a pair of tweezers, evenly fold and neaten them up so they reach the pads.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
