    Re: modding a ps2

    I don't think soft mods exist for the PS2 (I could be wrong though).

    You either hard mod it (with a mod chip) or use a boot disc.
    Kind of like this:

    ps2, you'd need a something called a swap disc, it boots code to the ps2 to allow copied games to work...but if it's a fat it may need a shell mode (which means the case needs to be swapped so you can open like the slims work).

    I'm no expert here, I paid good money for a modchip instead.

    They exist. It's a program called Mcboot free edition. It boots from the Memory Card, but I didn't want to patch all of my burned games.

    But I suggest investing in some Swap Magic Discs and getting a fliptop lid or at the least a slide card.

    Consult this website for information on what your PS2 model is - http://www.ps2cover.com/ps2-modchip-model-number.shtml

    It doesn't matter if you want a slide card.
    Are you wanting to have a slide card or a fliptop?
    I have a fliptop personally and it's pretty easy to use.

    Is your PS2 PAL or NTSC?

    its quite a tedious task and you will need the swapmagic anyways. :p

    I'd just personally get the discs and the top.

    you can not softmod a slim , as you need the ps2HDD and there is no port on the slim for that

    True, but SwapMagic does a much better job than HDD Loaders...

    And they work on the slim, but I believe this person does not have a slim, but a Phat PS2.

    And there are flip-tops for the slim as well as the phat.
