I have a question about my modded PS2. About three years ago, I visited the Philippines and had my PS2 "modified" so I can play "bootleg/pirated" PS2 games that were widely available in the Philippines for dirt cheap. I didn't know how my PS2 was modded, all I knew was that my PS2 now plays bootleg and non-NTSC games (as well as non-region 1 DVDs). The mod worked fine, until yesterday when it stopped reading bootleg disc; now it only plays NTSC games and region 1 DVDs as though it were never modded. =(
So my question is, is this normal? I mean, does a modded PS2 really lose this ability after a certain amount of time? Or was the modification done to my PS2 faulty from the start? Also, any chance I can fix this?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much.
It could just be something minor like a wire has just come off a solder point. Just think back. What changed with the ps2 from the day it was working, from the day it stopped? Did you change the location of it, did someone nudge it, was it just sitting like normal?
As far as I know, I never moved my PS2 whatsoever. The only thing I can think of is that I've recently been playing more and more NTSC games, and less and less bootleg ones. Could that be the reason? Is that even logical?
Unless your older games are working and your newer backups aren't then I don't think it's a problem with the chip itself. Chips don't normally just stop working outta the blue.
I would have to say its a physical problem like something came lose for some reason or something is shorting to the metal casing inside.
