PS2 Slim Mod

MCSpartan05 · #1 05-10-2005, 11:37

Hey guys... I'm brand new to the whole PS2 scene. I recently purchased a new PS2 (slim) and am wanting to burn backups. I went to modchip.com and found this kit that is supposed to work with the new PS2 slim system. Here's the link:

What do you guys think and/or suggest? I'm not totally technological stupid, but I'm not Einstein... is this something I can handle? Either respond on this or you can AIM me on MCSpartan05. Any help would be great... I'm also curious on how to burn these PS2 games... but hopefully that'll be easier because I'm pretty good with computers... Thanks again!

I would save my money and get a matrix infinity along with HD connect. The swap disc have issues with some games and are not nearly as reliable as a modchip.

I'm specifically looking for a non-solder chip. Although the Matrix Infinity looks like a good choice. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much.

There are no non solder chips for slim PS2. The only one that comes close is the DMS EZI chip. It uses a clip to attach itself to the chip on the PS2 MB. It is also known for bending chip legs thus ruining the console. There's just no substitute for a well installed infinity

You mention some games... I'm using my PS2 for mainly sports games... any problems apparent?

We get people here all the time with different Games that require patching or just wont load with this setup. Most of the games are listed at www.swapmagicfix.com. If this is the route you want to go then i wish you the best but i know for a fact you will have less problems with a real modchip. Anyway good luck with it, Maybe lufcfan or someone else will have something to add.

Also the EZI is only compatible with V5-V10 PS2's. And what Warlock said about bent chip legs and dead PS2's is very true and I can confirm this first hand.

It appears there are a few sports games that do not work. However, I'm willing to try this out. Thanks for everyone's help and if and when I get it working, I'll be more than happy to let everyone know my results!
