--- Quote from: Vt102 on October 12, 2007, 03:25:30 PM ---There are really no easy ways to go around modding your PS2. The disc swaping system is not recomended as it will shorten the life of you unit, and the MOD chip way requires a lot if sodering. If you are good at sodering GO THAT WAY! If your nto good at sodering, then find someone who will doit for you. (I found a couple of people that offer the mod for around $50-$60 U.S. on http://www.craigslist.org/ http://www.modchip.com is a good place to look for mod chips --- End quote --- Why should the disc swapping system shorten the life of your PS2??? After all that way you don't need to alter the inner circuits of your PS2.... Keeps the warranty intact and is simple to do.... BUT it just let's you play imports afaik... no cd-rs... |

Don't ask me.. I know this by reading on it over the net. That's what I get for reading! |

I don't know about the slim PS2 but disc swapping on a normal "fat" PS2 does indeed shorten the system's life span. You have to install a slide card which lets you pull out the PS2's disc tray to change the discs. I can imagine that's not too good for the engineering mechanics. |

But on the slim you just have to install some thingys to deactivate the mechanism that checks if the disc tray is open or not.... |

Good to know. But too late :D I wanted to mod my PS2 a while ago mainly to play all the import SNK fighters that didn't make their way to Europe. But then Ignition Entertainment brought most of the SNK games to Europe, and now with the Neo Geo games coming to the Wii's VC and the announced anthologies and collections for the Wii there's no need anymore. |
