Its actually more of you cant do much on consoles the more modern they are, cause they are more blocked or already have anything you would want from modern tech standard, like ps3, it already has hdmi and internal storage drives, all it needed for sure was cfw, what else are we going to add to it?

The PlayStation 2 is legendary, still playing it to this day! Such a massive library of games too! Awesome job. Me like it.

Waited ages for this video. So stoked to finally see this installed and in action. Huge well done for taking all the time to get this done 💪 can’t wait to try it myself!

Wow duud youre a ps2 pro boo wayyyy

This is a really cool mod! I've only ever owned "one" PlayStation console, a PS2 Slim... which I only bought just under 5 years ago on eBay, used... "just" the console, for ONLY 22 bucks (I bought a genuine PS2 power brick two days later, for 12 bucks). I just looked at my PS2, and it's on that list you showed... so I guess I have another mod to do (first, I have to finish the mod on my Sega Dreamcast: GDEMU + HDMI mod - and battery holder, as well as the Nactua (sp?) fan upgrade)!! 😁 The DC is about 25 years old... I may have to replace the caps, too (ugh)! 🙄

With the HDMI mod, that would be a killer.

I always wonder with all of these mods if the OG hardware designers (Sony/Nintendo/Sega/NEC/Whatever) look at this and just takes shots when ALL of those sleepless nights/hardwork bypassed/extended in ways they never, ever expected. Or, maybe they did? They seem to be really clever dudes.

You got the HDMI mod and mechapwned it. You got the ultimate PS2

The beauty.

You are a ps2 mod master! Top quality content. Thank you

Hi, please tell me if this method has any advantages compared to the IDE to SSD adapter from the previous video? Except for the size of the board.

Is the voltage regulator you cut in the ps2 or did you need to order it? Also you don’t need the resurrector from Gusse do you? Everything used in this video came from Saints Fall?

This is awesome

Bro. I love that you took 2 days and got what you’ve been waiting for for years. Kudos to you for making it happen!

Unbelievable skill! That was so much fun to watch!!

I waited for ages for someone to think of finding an adapter for M2 and I waited You can't imagine how happy I am at the moment, my second I will make PS2 without an SD card but on M2 1-2TB

bro ou hae sick man i wish i wasnt a brokie id love to be blessed by your skill

This is what I do, but I have an issue with sound in cutscenes in some games. Tried different computers, switch, different versions of McBoot/OPL, files, BIOS, settings in OPL and nothing change. Videos are smooth, gameplay is perfect, but sound skips in cutscenes.

The Dark Souls music :)

Could you make a detailed step by step guide / video so others can achieve this? I’d love to have an internal drive over 128gb whilst retaining the disk drive, this appears to be the only way to do so.

Man I need to get some of these made, but want to find a way to clean up the cut area a bit more, those dimples for disk removal make for a difficult clean cut. BTW was that my iflash rumor from the machonacho comments? If not, I'd love to see where else this is being discussed, as I thought of this a few weeks ago, soldered one in to no avail, but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Hadn't seen anyone else discussing it but would love to see someone else who had luck with this!

I need this in my life, but don't know if I could accomplish this myself

Was gonna buy the PS2 mod that restores IDE but then I found out that it was closed source and even if I DID want to support a closed source project, the dev has been out of stock for MONTHS. This is a godsend since it's freely available to anyone. PLEASE bro I wanna donate to him does he have any PayPal links or Ko-Fi? He deserves my money for what he's done.

Man id love to put this in my ps2 but the lack of a kit leaves me eerie. Ill go for the micro sd card mod

You can also get around the 128GB SD card limit by using an IDE to CF adaptor and a CF to SD adaptor

This is how legendary playstation is. I mean I don't see this dedication in Xbox series...

I would pay someone to do an HDMI mod with this.

I think that the ideal ps2 slim will be when, in addition to m2ps2, the internal power supply is built into the console. Quite surprisingly, I did not find information about such a modification. Is everyone really happy with this brick on a wire the size of half a PS2? After all, slim is primarily valuable for its compactness. This problem was removed in the 9000x series, but these consoles are not suitable for SSD/SD card mods.

I've got a fat PS2 with a DMS4 Pro that quit booting Toxic OS. It freezes at around 25% when attempting to reflash it. Do you know much about those chips? It's real, I bought it when the DMS4 Pro was first released.

Which versions of the PS2 slim can be compatible?

How would I get in contact with you or Saints Fall? Is it possible to comment on the german board you linked because it won’t let me make an account. I need help with this mod😅

Would be nice for a fat ps2 since I don't have the modem or hdd

It must be some kind of unwritten rule that you have to spin the disk drive with your finger when you open it.

I'd love to do this. I just dont have any soldering experiece. I don't have the tools either. Still collect PS2 games though. If anyone willing to help, I'll be willing to compensate for the work.

I wonder if a variation can be done on a fat PS2. OPL sucks and with the exception of Grimdoomer, it almost feels abandoned.

at least 18TB is needed for all official games ever released, this ultimate jukebox is already possible with a fat PS2

I’m going make a wild guess here and say that heat wouldn’t necessary be an issue with this mod due to the limited bus speed of the PS2’s architecture not getting close to saturating the max speed the m.2 drives can handle. The controller chip wouldn’t have to work very hard, staying well within reasonable temps.

How much would you charge for that system if you ever sold it?

@ModzvilleUSA

9 ай бұрын

A lot

You can't even use it with later PS2 Slim models? Pretty useless then considering later slim models are faster and more efficient.

Waste of an M.2 speed and awkward to toss games on. IDE ribbon to SD would be way easier wouldn't it? PS2 redump is like 16TB (3.5TB USA, no demos, no proto) so you're not gaining anything with M.2 either as that size isn't available and the bus can't handle the speed anyway. Either you have to put games on one by one, or dump the set. Plus you can use multiple SD cards, and they're like 10$ for 128gb. If you want more storage, an SMB 1 networked Rasberry Pi with a large sata drive in an enclosure dedicated to the PS2 is your easy and cheaper option. Cool project but impractical I think.

Compared to MX4SIO this method is not worth the effort by far.
