Hello! New here. I just got a fat ps2 (SCPH-39004 PAL) from a relative, which I used to play with when I was young. It has the cut on the warranty sticker and an additional sticker of the person who modded it, so I know it has a modchip. I also know that I used to play burned games in it, I have evidences of it. Yet, after years of not playing with it, I cannot seem to anymore. I have only 1 original ps2 disc, which works with no problems, but none of the burned discs I have seem to work.
My question is, can a modchip die? Or can it be disabled/enabled? I wanted to open it up to see which modchip it had to find solutions, but I'm a rookie so I did not want to start with that, and nowadays its almost impossible to find someone to help around where I live.
Another note, I have a memory card which has uLaunchELF and OPL in it (no freemcboot, I couldn't figure that out unfortunately) which works in my slim ps2 (SCPH-70004 PAL) by simply booting up with pressing R1, but this doesn't seem to work in the fat one. How can I fix this? Does ulaunchelf work differently on different models?
I am so sorry for the long post. I don't know where else can I find a proper solution and known sites like ps2-home does not allow my country's IP inside for some reason. If anyone can find a solution there also, I would really really appreciate it. Thank you very much, and I hope you have a great day.
