The console is a NTSC-U/C but I can't find anything about region code 10 ?
what is the difference between 50001 and 50010 ? can both be mechapwned ?

SCPH-50001 is a US console and has either a V9/V10 motherboard, SCPH-50010 doesn't exist allegedly. MechaPwn should be compatible, but installing a modchip will prevent the risk of permanently damaging the mechacon. V9/V10s are infamous of burning out the laser with burned media, so I would advise installing the PIC or romeo fix.The console is a NTSC-U/C but I can't find anything about region code 10 ?

Yes. The slim models also have the same issue as well. Either use the PIC fix or romeo fix, the PIC fix tends to be much more reliable because it immediately powers off the console if it detects a spike in the mechacon, thus saving the life of the laser for much longer. As long as you use reliable optical media like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, then you'll be safe.I already have a 50001 and a 50010 consoles....If I don't mod them with PIC or romeo , For how long can they run burned PS1 discs ? Will the laser die after playing several games to the finish ?
Does this laser burnouts happen to the slim models too ?

As long as the discs are professional grade and use a cyanine backing. You still need the PIC fix if you want to play backups safely.So If I use Verbatim CDs then I don't need the PIC fix or romeo fix ? Verbatim CDs can save the laser ?

Apparently region 10 is central + south America -
Those are fine. Without the PIC fix, the laser will burn out a lot quicker, the same can be said for many old disc-based consoles.I want to use PS1 Disc backups only.
Do these have cyanine backing: https://a.co/d/gZDYWn4
What happens if I just use PS1 backups burned on discs with cyanine backing and do not do the PIC fix ?

What's the point in burning discs if you can load isos from smb or hard drives?
Running games off a HDD or SSD is highly recommended. The later slims don't have the expansion port, however, it is possible to solder an IDE connector on the unconnected HDD bus.I am looking to buy a next PS2 console that is compatible with the mechapwn exploit ... Should I buy a FAT or a Slim ? You are saying the slim models also suffer from this burnout bug ? so that makes 50001/50010 consoles the best ? since you can run PS2 games from a SATA/IDE storage with the 50001/50010 ?
For one, accuracy and compatibility - instead of using a virtualizer that uses CPU and memory competing with the application that assumes to be running in a well defined scenario (exact knowledge of loaded kernel modules)What's the point in burning discs if you can load isos from smb or hard drives?
Some (early) 70xxx's do, which are the last models to support a real HDD...the slim models also suffer from this burnout bug ?
I've seen PS1 chips use about 6 or 7 wires as opposed to 3. But, in regards to the PS2, not all PS2s are going to be reliable. The most common issue I tend to see with used broken PS2s is a faulty disc drive, the laser can be easily replaced as I've done it once to one that wasn't capable of reading beyond CDs.There's no single best PS2, that's for sure, but given your wants I'd get a 39xxx (good build quality before they started cheaping out), a non-stealth PS1 (3-wire) PS1chip, and a switch to manually turn it on when needed
Get a KHS-400C laser.one more question, If the laser burns out, Can I replace it easily ? which parts do I need to purchase for a 50001/50010 ?
Some lasers will not have it on if you become lucky. Best to learn some basic soldering skils first.I don't do soldering, if I order one of those laser lenses i have to remove the anti static solder first...
