I plan on buying a ps2 slim within a few weeks and want to mod it to play backups. Are all ps2 slims modable?

Can i get a link to an updated guide and whats the easiest/cheapest way of doing it?

I was looking into swap magic but idk yet.

No. Newest ones it doesn't work on. You buy a new slim and it's either swap magic or mod chip.

Im using maxell dvd+rw discs should I switch to the verbatim ones?
QUOTE(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2#Technical_specifications)Supported Disc Media: PlayStation 2 format CD-ROM, PlayStation format CD-ROM, Compact Disc Audio, PlayStation 2 format DVD-ROM (4.7 GB)(some games on DVD9 8.5 GB), DVD Video (4.7 GB), DVD-9 (8.5 GB Double-Layer). Later models are DVD+RW, and DVD-RW compatible.

So unless you have a newer PS2 it won't work.

I got a capture card so I'll post photos soon.

So, I ordered a AR disc off Amazon without the USB, since you apparently can make one yourself.
The AR Max version is 3.70 and I've been trying to format a 32MB Imation USB to work with the AR, but so far no formats have been working.

Any advice? xD

 

[wchill]

I suggest you buy a new USB drive, this happened with my drives but worked with a MP3 player. It depends.

 

[Twiffles]

Alright, is there a specific format that AR uses? FAT, FAT32, etc. And what allocation size?

 

[wchill]

No, no, the problem is AR's support for USB devices.
If one doesn't work, you have to try another. I don't know why they didn't fix it.

 

[Twiffles]

Ohh, okay. Thank you, thank you. xD

Edit: I just tried one, and it was able to copy to it, but when I tried to copy from it, it detected no files... xD

Edit Edit: Got a USB that works, made the save file, copied it to the MC, etc. Put PS1 disc in, and it just loads the game. Is it cause I'm on Slim? >>

 

[Finishoff]

Tried using a San Disk Cruzer 16 GB and the PS2 fat/slim cannot detect it. The San Disk 4 GB works on both so I'm assuming that some USB are compatible with the PS2 and some are not.

 

[playallday]

@Twiffles: The save exploit doesn't work on the PS2 Slim. You'll need to find a PS2 phat to set it up. Once you get FreeMcBoot installed you can use it on your PS2 slim.

I got a ps2 slim silver edition.

What are my options for modding.

Would like to do just a memory card type if possible.

The guides ive read seem outdated so if someone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

 

[robbamania]

Sorry if this has been asked before.
Will this softmod be able to play DVD9 dual layer games?

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question to ask. Will I be able to play games from another region after softmodding my ps2 using this guide. In other words, play PAL games on a NTSC unit and vice versa. Thanks for any help or advice!
