ok i asked this in my other thread but i did not get an answer i guess it is because the threat must have died out.
so to make sure before i go ahead and buy my ps2 i want to make sure of a few things

1. i will buy the PreModded PS2 (slightly used)v7 DMS4 Pro SE, costing $220, is that a good price? or am i being ripped off?

2. is it true once i get the console all i have to do is buy a IDE hard drive at around 160GB of space, costing around $75.00. and a Network Adapter(which i do not know what is, were to get from and how much it costs) but i am guesing they just plug into each other??

3. is it true that once i have all of that, i then use a program which would, copy a game form my ps2 into the hard drive to play when i like.

4. is there also a way of getting a dvd image from my pc to my now new ps2 hardrive?

OK, then lets make sure you get an answer this time, right.


1. i will buy the PreModded PS2 (slightly used)v7 DMS4 Pro SE, costing $220, is that a good price? or am i being ripped off?
ANo, that is pretty standard. I suppose that is from Teammodders.com? Those guys are great. I bought my slightly used premodded Xbox there and they do all my work.

2. is it true once i get the console all i have to do is buy a IDE hard drive at around 160GB of space, costing around $75.00. and a Network Adapter(which i do not know what is, were to get from and how much it costs) but i am guesing they just plug into each other??
AYes, that is correct. The DMS4 Pro chip will run on the ToxicOS firmware. That will have everything you need to format the hard drive, install and delete games and so on. You can get a bigger hard drive if you like, but i think 160 would do fine for most people. Try Newegg.com and buy an OEM hard drive for cheap there. Make sure you check the "PS2 Hard DRive Compatibility List" online and make sure what your buying is compatible.

3. is it true that once i have all of that, i then use a program which would, copy a game form my ps2 into the hard drive to play when i like.
A Yes, the chips firmware has a section that you can install a game from the disc to your hard drive in one easy step, just choose install from the meu options and in 20-30 minutes it will be done. I have found so far that about 98% of the games i have put on mine have worked. Hot Shots Golf Fore! and SRS (from what my friend told me) has not worked.

4. is there also a way of getting a dvd image from my pc to my now new ps2 hardrive?
A Yes, but that is a whole new ball game. You will have to do some heavy research. They have programs that you put on the hard drive, and one on the PC. Then you hook them together with a Cat5 Crossover Cable (eithernet) and you can FTPO files back and forth between the two once you have the PC and PS2 set up correctly.
I have done this with Xbox but not yet with my PS2 as i would need a wireless gaming adapter instaed of the Cat5 because it is across the house from my PC

They will if you agree to pay all the shipping costs.
but usually they just sell here in the USA
I have heard great things about this site in the UK
http://ghost2fitter.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=60_61
But they only sell slimline premods, and i do not know the conversion rate real well to know if it is more or less money.
or you can find just the PS2 somewhere in the UK and then ship it to them to have it modded with the chip.

I always suggest Teammodders because that is where i get all my work done, and i know those guys do a great job and stand behind all their work.
A slimeline V14 would be fine accept for the hard drive part.
For that they would also have to do an HD Combo Case/ Hard drive install like i had done on my V12. and you would have to get ahold of a V12 or V13 and with the V12 there is the added cost of the laser fix
and that can be expensive as those cases by themselves are like $59.99 here.

http://eu.mod-chip.com/ps2_hd_combo.php

all in all it would probably just be cheapest to get it from Teammodders and pay the shipping costs as you can add up all the above yourself and see.
