Just like to let you all know that I finally got my stuff from Ben (Gameworlddirect) the other day and did the installation this arvo. Updated to v1.39 and all is good. I am so relieved that this thing still works. These PStwo's are so damn fragile, you feel like they're going to snap in your hands
I have done a PS2 mod before, yonks ago on a mate's v7 with a Magic chip. I found the actual soldering points on the PStwo was not too bad, would certainly be nigh on impossible without 30 gauge wire. Although it's annoying that Sony persists in putting that coating on the board, have to scratch it off first before solder will stick to it.
Anyways, I'm happy now
