The Hardest Ps2 Modchip install! Slim 9000x

[@instanoodles]

Awesome vid! I just got a modbo 4.0 install from a customer and I haven't done a ps2 in like 15 years so this is a good refresher, such a pain compared to other mods.

[@yiguy5ed6ugh8h7]

i got addicted to see ps2 modchip videos, they are so satisfying and rewarding to see. it is like a very big and nice challange to take, like a video game boss, or a video game speedrun and world record. it is just very entertaining to see.

[@BorderlineOCD]

This is what separates the men from the boys. It’s one thing to slap an Aladdin in an OG Xbox, it’s another thing altogether to install a modchip like this. Really nice work man, great tips and suggestions soldering and routing those wires. One day I might attempt hard modding a PS2. One day…

[@MichaelM28]

Yay more PS2 videos 🎉🎉🎉

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Thanks brotha! Would love to see you give one of these a go :D The install process is only really this gnarly on the 79k and 90k slims. The earlier revisions have much easier points to solder to but either way I'm sure you'll be just fine.

[@supadud3]

I am not confident in trying my hand at that sadly my ps2 is 9000x so i hope to find it offered on etsy

[@deltahl]

HWFly and RP2040 (picofly) on the Nintendo Switch OLED too require a lot of confidence and skill.

[@ericsonicboom16]

Watching this with the megaman soundtracks and actually giving it a try wasnt bad it came out good and worked for me thanks!

[@37Kilo2]

I've always loved installing chips in the fat models. Doing it in these later, slim models can get so frustrating, but it feels so good when the shit works after you're done.

[@Gusse]

Solder from the top is a total nightmare 😂😂 I do just when it’s mandatory, like on psx desr, but after have seen you video I maybe do my next install video this way 😊

[@thegreatjonzini]

This was pleasurable to watch 😎🥂

[@alucardx1234]

This is strangely relaxing to watch. Love it

[@catalinnicolaevici2061]

Nice! Now I know what to do with mine! I'm gonna go order a clear case!!

[@gingerdude94]

Been a while since I seen your skills,.glad you're still fighting the cause. Greetings from the UK dude👍

[@RadioMartyT1B]

I just barely managed a Modbo 5 install last month...and now you drop this on me? YOU'RE KILLING ME, DUDE!

[@RadioMartyT1B]

BTW, your chat with Mr. Mario was seismically EPIC.

[@kamofpv6355]

Im gonna try for the first time this mod, hope i can made it correctly! Nice video man! :)

[@dannykusters6842]

Great looking install. I still miss those days sometimes..

[@LukeEdwards67]

Beautiful work as always man

[@Gumi0030]

Do you have any idea whats wrong with my PS2 Slim SCPH-90006? It doesn't read PS1 games. I already bought a new laser and tweak the potentiometer to the exact reading, but it still doesn't read my PS1 games 🥲 I hope you can help me 😢 i dont know what to do know 😭😭😭

[@prod_jay2132]

What are the equipment you use to record these vids and soldering man?

[@ydiadi_]

Dont have a ps2 , dnt have any idea whats going on still find this fuckin awesome work man

[@dannyboone81]

Totally unrelated, but I need to know lol. The Pound XBox HD Link cable uses Component video. Their PS2 version uses RGB, Could you make a Frankenstein Pound HD Link cable and see if it gets better video then their actual PS2 cable. You could use the XBox version and wire a Playstation connector to it. I think you could also build a Wii version this way since they don't sell one.

[@Popclone]

Great job, but whats with this 9000x Slim worth salvaging ? I mean in general not reg your Video. Was it better then the older Models ?

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Internal psu is the big one. Laser tends to be super beefy as well

[@panterarosa4325]

me encanto tu video modzville ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ModernClassicWorld]

@ModzvilleUSA, what happened to your in-depth PS2 video? where you show how to add an internal HDD and play PS2 and PS1 games...it was a very long video, did you take it down?

[@ModzvilleUSA]

It's right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYi7dKWIe7aGkKs

[@TR4G]

Are you making any more of these mod chips? I see they are sold out

[@nerone1984]

As Always fantastic video. But with freemcboot and mechapwn you can do pretty much everything without touch with your bare hands the point of your hot soldering iron!

[@ModzvilleUSA]

I’m aware of mechapwn and fmcb. I’ll have do a video on that as I hear this all the time. Tldr modchip has more features

[@Gusse]

@@ModzvilleUSA on pal console I think modchip still is the way to launch ps1 game, no ? And fmcb need to patch your burned game or I have miss something ?

[@nerone1984]

@@Gusse i've used mechapwn on my stock PAL ps2 slim 70k (italian console). I now can boot all region ps1 backup and original ps1 games pretty much out of the box. PS2 games from a different region don't Need a patch anymore, but different regions Need to be booted via elflauncher. But as modzville says, with that modchip you have more feature.

[@Gusse]

@@nerone1984 ok thank you ! So I have to test again ! thank you

[@yeolemillinial8295]

i see your trying to step up your game.

[@Mbarez94]

Cool video. Would be cool a full, complete and comprehensive tutorial for the 70xxxx model to install internal HDD or microSD. Yeh internal ps2 mx4sio is doable but has it's own limit with OPL. Would you think about making it? Thanks

[@ModzvilleUSA]

That’s literally coming up soon

[@Mbarez94]

@@ModzvilleUSA No way! Nice, i have a working (even optical drive works) 70xxx laying around waiting for me to install an HDD :-).

[@therefix342]

I could cry. I'm trying to repair a ps2 portable console that has the RST line for the power switch disconnected, and I don't know where it connects to. I've watched so many modchip installs to find the RST location, but this is the only one where the board is the same as mine gh-070-42 9XXXX, but you skipped the RST connection 😭 you couldnt give me a pointer as to where to look could you? Thank you so much dude, and keep up the great content.

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Thanks! Here's the diagrams quade.co/ps2-modchip-guide/modbo/

[@aspectme2]

I broke like 6 ps2s at my first trys. It Was the Best practice ever. I can solder every little shit possible now. Greetings from germany

[@aizatharis]

I was wondering if you could you do mechapwn without soldering the sx points to play ps1 backups with a modbo 5.0?

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Yea actually! If you flash mechapwn (don’t use force unlock) then you won’t notice a difference with or without the SX wire. Mechapwn is better at handling PS1 then any modchip so I personally recommend holding start to disable the modchip when booting ps1 games.

[@aizatharis]

@@ModzvilleUSA awesome man, thank you for the quick reply!! I’m planning on doing a modbo mod chip with my ps2 90000 series this weekend and your timing with this video couldn’t be more perfect! Thank you so much!!

[@lostdeath4202]

What sized wire are you using I have a hell of a mess in my ps2 with the 30 awg wire also glue I used super glue but doesn't dry fast enough

[@joshv3068]

Pretty much have given up on modchips for my ps2 I have a scph 10000..chip I need seems to be gone forever 🤧

[@maxkopfraumpoops]

can you make a beginner guide how to hack the switch or what is needed? my SD card died on me and I was still on SXOS. I know I need atmos but I have no idea how to get anything started. I was using EmuNand. Is there ANY purpose on staying on a super old firmware with SysNand or just update to latest firmware as well?

[@TobiEstosWorld]

I got a old matrix chip in my 50004 with 1.3 installed. is there a way to update or should I live it as is as it works perfectly boots everything fine even ps1 with bootlogo :)

[@salpertia]

Shout out for zombies ate my neighbors

[@jm3493]

Modchips are cool, is there any other reason necessary? Cool video.

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Force Ntsc, native ps2 backup support without patching / ulaunch fuckery. Toggle dvd Region, boot directly to elf file.

[@jm3493]

Yeah I figured that stuff, but at the end of the day if someone wants to do it, let em. Who cares it's your console do whatever.

[@FrankensteinDZWOT]

Do you mean 9000 series or 90000 ? Because my ps2 says 90004 model number 😅

[@roroferre587]

Que tipo de cable usas

[@Museo_del_Videojuego]

Link me to dat blue wire bro

[@richgame2331]

I don’t really get it why the hustle through all that when you can easily mcboot or fortune

[@ΝίκοςΣ-γ7β]

Unless there's a new patch (which might be, I don't keep up with them) , you can't mcboot on a 9000 without a modchip Plus from my experience, growing up with a 9000, modchip were the most reliable way to play games on it

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Because I can and you can do the same things plus more with a modchip.

[@MichaelM28]

@@ΝίκοςΣ-γ7β some early 90000 models are compatible with freemcboot

I tried the matrix 1.93 version of the 2.0 once and it blew the bios on the ps2 How that model chip works bud??

I’ve heard tale of that. Never had an issue with matrix 1.99s or 2.0s

Hello

[@IAGMRevenge]

This is painful to see.

[@jothain]

How come?

[@ericsonicboom16]

not really its really fun to do if your into these type of stuff then yea it is fun but can be stressful even tho i enjoy doing these type of stuff

[@IAGMRevenge]

Because the lack of technique.

[@jothain]

@@IAGMRevenge that wasn't bad at all. Actually better than 99% of stuff I've actually seen.

[@sonyx5332]

I wonder if that type of soldering tip would be good to solder to TSOP NAND/NOR memory legs. And I don't know what cable/wire size would be good for it. I need to un-brick one of my PlayStation system. Looks like I need to get myself a NASA microscope, a soldering iron/station and god knows what else. 🥲
