Hey Dudessssss

After another dreding hour i chipped my ps2 its working perfectly its different to the other consoles i was shocked when i pulled the lid off and found the eject reset wasnt attached to the case like other versions. I also found out my consoles a v10 when i was told its a v9 meh oh well all is good

I will try and take a photo of it soon and post it up soon, but i cannot find the usb cable

hey seaneyb2003

haven't been here for a while hope all is good...?

I see you've ventured into the world of DIY ps2 chipping.... i remember you saying you used to do Psx1's, how much harder is it? as I said I haven't been here for a while but i remember reading that it was a lot tougher (especially when it comes to soldering onto the vias) considering doing a few myself now as i have a bit of demand on my hands, the psx1's were easy i had no probs with them, what ya reckon should I still leave it to the pro's?

what chip have you put in yer v10 then? is it still in the region of 24 wires or so?

cheeeeeeers

If you've done PSXs easily, it ain't much different to be honest with you. VIAs can be a b******, but plenty of flux and a good scrape with a fibreglass pencil will do the job. A great site for tutorials is http://www.cyber-mag.com/station/ps2tips.htm

PS2 V9/10 are around 18/19 pin. Hope this helps...

hey dude,

ive done a few ps2s in the past. I didnt use a fibreglass pen i used a stanley knife and a small screwdriver to scratch it off. Works Perfectly!

I got a v10 and a matrix infinity. Bo selecta!

N Dude if you feel confident go for it. Modchips these days are usially around 18 wires depending what chip you go for. Gd luck man

I'm not denying that works, i've used a stanley blade myself when my Fibreglass pen has ran out, but one slip with that blade and the board's f*****

depends what knife u got i used 2 work in a warehouse i got a proper gd one and my precision screw worked perfectly. No point wasting 5 quid on when when u can use something else but i would reccomend a fibreglass tho.
