Hi, I have just bought a ps2 for my son, can someone tell me the best way to mod it? I have looked for chips but not having much luck but have had plenty of help from the people on this site in the past.
Fully agree go for a modchip. I recently modded a slim and a fat (first time) and they're running like a dream. Have to say that the slim is by far the easiest to do, you can have the board out in under 2 mins. I spent more time on disassembling and reassembling the fat than actually soldering the chip to the board. I found the cheapest sites for good chips are psxbox & eurasia.
Thanks for advice, I am in the UK and it seems really hard to get hold of mod chips at the moment, never soildered before always used soilderless chips in the past, have come across the Memor 32 has anyone any opinions on this product?
I too am in the UK and I got mine alright. It now seems psxbox are no longer, eurasia is your only decent hope though it takes a couple of weeks to arrive from Thailand. If you've no soldering experience I would suggest getting someone else to do it. If you're feeling brave, there is a very good guide here http://soldering.tehskeen.com/ pointing out via's, pads and IC legs which you will be soldering to.
Unfortunately I know nothing of soft mods as I wouldn't fancy disc swapping and the like and from what I've read the boot rate is not 100%. Somebody else may advise you there.
