It's a Chip Mars or Mars Chip (old one), those sucks!
The mod chip doesn't matter anymore. I removed it and i'm currently running fmcb. My thanks to everyone for the info and some great advice.
Respect.
Glad everything is working now. :) FMCB is much better than most mod chip features. :D only thing it can't do is direct boot backup games. But at least ESR makes it easier to work around that on PS2 games.
I never realized it before, but the fan is busted. i never noticed since i never kept it on for longer periods of time 'cos i couldn't do anything with it. After installing fmcb and playing some games, it would keep shutting down constantly with the standard red blinking light. The fan itself works when i hook it up to a battery, must be a broken mainboard connector or some other issue. It's being powered by the usb port for now.
Also, usb loader is noticeably slower than optical media. Not a suprise since it's usb 1.1, but still kinda dissapointing. Most game intro's stutter like hell. Guess i should get my hands on one of those network adapters...
