If there is anyone who knows something I said is incorrect, feel free to correct me. and have pretty much all the info and stuff you will need. There is people that install FMCB on memory card for free in different regions of the world. 5D-116178/īut personally if I had to do that, after that I would install FMCB on a memory card, wipe the HDD then install FHDB correctly from the FMCB memory card.Īlso, have a look to this post. I also found another method that is not listed in the 1st link. Tutorials: (Personally I did that long time ago)Ī long thread of other games that can work for the PS2 game swap trick. 18 to 22 wires, all going on low pitch SMD chips or vias.Īnd there is like 15+ versions, lots of different diagrams. The PS2 is definitely one of the hardest console to hardmod anyways. They are well known to kill DVD lasers much faster. The only advantage a modchip can offer is playing original PS1 and Japaneese game without patching straight from DVD's. Only some of the very last PS2 model to come out cannot use FMCB. Its important to understand that unlike the Xbox, softmod are almost good as an hardmod, if not better.

Go at a friend house, put the memory card in, and play Mario Bros in a just the time it take to boot on his virgin PS2. So basically, (I have not try it) you should be able to install the softmod on a memory card, put a NES emulator and 1 or 2 games. Once you have a memory card with FMCB on it, you can prepare another memory card for another PS2 in a mater of a few seconds. The only thing you need to do is to ESR patch your backups.Īnd you are WAY better with a Fat PS2 / internal HDD / network adaptor (required for the HDD)

You can even play PS2 games from your LAN.

Yes, you can play games from a USB flash drive or an external USB HDD, the only downside from that is some video scene can be choppy. If the PS2 goes kaputt, you just swap the memory card and your internal HDD or USB HDD with your games on it to another PS2 and you're good to go. Its not bounded to the console, it sit on the memory card or the HDD. I don't even keep them as these thing can be bought for just a couple dollar almost anywhere. Just keep the memory card dump in a safe spot if you care about it. Well, it could corrupt the memory card or something like that in rare cases.

The PS2 is so much more simple than the Xbox to softmod.
