Hey everyone,
So I'm looking at soft-modding my PS2 slim and don't know what method is best for me?
I have a PS2 Slim and have some sealed games I'd like to play on my PS2 without having to break open the games original seals. I'd prefer if I could download the games online and simply put them on the memory card of the PS2 and play. Also it would be preferred if I could keep the PS2 in original condition, like no custom firmware being installed permanently)
So the question is, is it possible to do what I'm wanting with the PS2 Slim or would I be better of getting a PS2 fat, putting a 500gb hard-drive in, installing FMCB/OPL? I heard that the slim can only play games via USB (but it causes stutter due to the speed of usb1.0) or by burning disks (don't want to use the cd drive, as trying to preserve their lives). So I'm guessing the fat is my only option as I could install roms onto the hhd and play them via FMCB/OPL as said above?
But if anyone knows of a better method it would be appreciate as I'm not great with these type of things and could be missing something.
Thing I want
- Download roms via online and put on memory card/hard drive.
- No physically modifying PS2 (chips)/Installing home-brew permanently ect.
- PS2 Slim preferably
- Best game performance (no lag/effects)
Thanks
