    Interesting, i'll try the q-tip technique. And i saw RGA's videos, perhaps i didn't watch them as thoroughly, i'll rewatch and see.

    I see a lot of modchip installs in ps2’s i buy and online. I’ve became sort of fascinated with modding the ps2. (before i was obsessed with the og xbox for like 5 months, but when i got my first ps2, everything on my bench has since been ps2.) i...

    So i’m LED modding this fat ps2 (30004) but i’ve ran into a small issue. I’m using a 24v LED strip, however my console has a 12v psu. And the other issue i have is that my strip has 3 pads. 1. 24v +, 2. R, 3. G, 4.B. I’m assuming i’m supposed to...

    What would happen if i install a modbo 5 and after some time uninstall it? Will it then brick it? And i was curious about those matrix 1.99 clones, i saw a video from RGA where he said that two facilities that manufacture the chip flash the fw...

    I heard people say stuff like "Modbo 5 isn't a real modbo, it's just a generic chip" and "Modbo 5 will brick your bios!! use modbo 4 instead" but where i live i can only get modbo 5 and mars pro 806hd, and i heard that the mars pro 806 has very...

    I heard on reddit of people saying „modbo 5 shit!!!” But ok, i’ll order one. And by the way the pot tweak didn’t work, the same friend said that before buying a new laser there’s still one thing and i’m still waiting for a reply.

    A friend suggested tweaking the laser pots also, so i’ll do that. But is modbo 5 from ali safe? I have my doubts

    Today i came across this ps2, the person who sent it to me said that „the tray opens and closes by itself” i thought „improper modchip install 100%” i opened it up and it had a little 8 wire pic chip wired up to the board, and one of the ribbon...

    Yes! I prefer the installation more than the actual result. And a ps2 modchip sound incredibly fun
  • KuraV12
    So i’ve been looking into what ps2 modchip to get. And at first i thought it’s as simple as „get a modbo 5 from ali and all good!” Well.. no, i see „experienced” modders saying „modbo 5 trash1! Use modbo 4” and then i see people like gusse, retro...

    KuraV12 replied to the thread PS2 with ripper modchip, issues.
    Ok? But will that help with the component or reading discs? And should i leave the pin connected there or resolder to the via?

    KuraV12 replied to the thread PS2 with ripper modchip, issues.
    Yes! It had/has the via/pin jumped to ground. And here’s the mobo:

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.

    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...
