i have a scph30001- and a 120gig maxtor hd- i'm looking for a newbie guide on how to mod it and which stuff to get as far as a chip and a network adaptor- does anyone have a guide or how to for this model? does anyone have a suggestion on which chip and or hdd adaptor to buy?- is this model even moddable?- thanks
i don't think you are going to find a guide. best thing to do is use the search button. crystal chip, matrix infinity, dms4 are the best chips that are upgradable, H20 is a cheap reliable chip
from my experience the H20 is unreliable in consoles other than V12-13. as for network adaptor, get what ever, they are all the same, all take a hard drive, i havent seen one that doesnt.
I do hundreds of installs and Crystal chip is the way to go, very reliable, boots everything and allows backups online
If you are new to modding, and don't have a lot of experience soldering, you would be better off looking at the different exploits or using some type of hdloader. You will get much better use from a chip as far as compatilbity with different games, but you are very likely to ruin your ps2 by soldering it with little or no experience with an iron.
Good luck if you try it out.
DMS4 EZI Pro doesn't require any soldering. I installed my own DMS4 lite (soldered) and it's worked great...haven't tried any others.
Buy the Sony network adapter...I've seen a bunch of PS2 USB adapters, but they don't have the IDE port for the hard drive. I got one off ebay for $30 after shipping...only thing I didn't like was the fact the s/n was scratched off =/. Worked fine, though.
