alright i have a modded xbox and it works fine. i installed a modchip and a bigger hdd and i can run emulators and my own games and that have been backed up to the hdd instead of the actual disk. i have a ps2 also but it is unmodded. i want to make it so i can save games to it like i did with my xbox. ive been looking around and i found several different types of modding but i cant figure out what is the best way to do it. also i know putting a bigger hdd in my ps2 would be different than what i did with my xbox, because the xbox has a hdd and the ps2 doesnt have one, or not that i am aware of, because you need a memory card to save anything. so does anyone have any suggestions on what i hould do to make my ps2 be able to do the same thing that my xbox does.

What version playstation 2 do you have, i think the DMS4 pro mod chip will be a good idea, or you could always use HDloader depending on what version ps2 you have.

Any PS2 can utilize a hard drive, except for the newest slimlines. Fat PS2's just need a network adapter.

A DMS4 Pro is the best way to go about using a hard drive - but you'd still need a memory card to save games.

hey i saw the chip and i noticed it was around 60 bucks. i know its probably good but i dont use my ps2 that much and i saw another chip that was around 40 bucks on sale for 20. it was the matrix infinity or whatever. do you think that that chip will do?

heres the link that has the chip that im talking about:
http://www.allmodchip.com/Matrix_Infinity_SE_154_p_16169.html

also i was looking at the HD Advance 3.0. can you run the games saved to your harddrive on the internet? thanks.

You should get the original matrix infinity, clone chips are not very good, and cause problems.

Yeh, I heard the matrix infinity's r the best. im getting 1 from an official seller. im getting the b-flex cable too - is that any good? its meant to make installation easier. i have no experience on ps2 modding, although im good at soldering. should i do it myself, or is it too hard. i heard it was easy. the shops all charge £70 and they put in a £5 chip!

It aint too hard, you need steady hands and a fine tip, low watt soldering iron and ur good to go, if u dont have steady hands and not good at soldering, then dont try it, u can kill the ps2. :P
