    ..opening up your PS2 that is


    how did it feel?were you nervous?messed anything up?I was sweating balls when I did it the first time like a week ago,i can tell members like GTZ or loy has no problem basing that on their clean ass modchip installs,how do y'all keep such a steady hand?lol



    also what made you start modding ps2's?
    What I thought I have=30001 R v4 w/ Bluechip
    What I actually have=30001R V5 w/ Magic 3.1 clone

    I didn't quite know what to expect when I first opened it, but I was surprised at how much smaller the points were in real life compared to the blown up installation diagrams. To make matters worse, I was practicing on old video cards, which had MUCH larger chip legs and pads than the PS2. The first PS2 I modded was my V2 which took about two hours, but it worked.

    I had just brought her into my bed room, sat her down next to me on my bed and began to remove her covers. I was nervous, this was my first time, hers aswell. I had to pay $300 just to get her to come to my place so I was anxious. I slowly and nervously touched her, being carefull of what to touch, I hadnt ever seen these parts before.... lol.

    Yeah I was pretty scared, although I wasnt too worried, I had been modding PSXes and been soldering for some years by then. Although I did break my first PS2, but not the first time modding it.
