Ok, I've been wanting to get an old style Japanese PS2 because I'd like to get a HDD with it, but they've become extremely hard to find. The only such system I've been able to find is a Ver1 SCPH 10000 NTSC-J which apparently doesn't feature regular HDD support, but instead features a port in the back for the uber rare official external PS2 HDD.
Anyways, getting to my point, what I wanted to do is buy an old style US PS2, Mod it, and change the system ID. I was surprised to see that there doesn't seem any tutorials on how to change the system ID. So basically what I want to know is:
- What PS2 Model number do you suggest?
- What mod chip do you suggest?
- Where can I get help on how to change my systems ID number?
not sure why you need to change the system ID or how.
as for the other questions.
V7 is what i would get.
Crystal Chip V2.0 you can get software to run a hard drive, and it can auto patch backups for online play
DMS4 Pro SE has built in hard drive support in the flash (ToxicOS V0.41) and a built in cheat system.
http://www.teammodders.com/premodded/ and you can get a premodded V7 right there. You would just have to do the hard drive yourself which is a breeze. I would ask if it has the network adapter with it as you will need that. Only other place i have seen the older fat models is Ebay, and you never know what your getting there.
I haven't downloaded the app yet, but do I just put the disc with the app on it in the PS2 and will I just be able to figure it out from there? The reason why I want to change the system's id is because I want to play Biohazard Outbreak 1&2 online with an HDD. Old style Japanese PS2's with expansion bays are really hard to find so I just want to get and old US system, that way I can just change it's id so that I can play Japanese PS2 games online. If there's any other way I can do this (maybe by modifying the contents on the disc itself?) please tell me.
One you put in the disc.
It shows a splash screen and your current System ID
then you change it from there to whatever you want(a valid ID probably) BIOHAZARD.........ARE YOU FROM JAPAN?
