There were a lot of places where I had to solder wires to components surrounded by a lot of other components. Above is an image of what my installation looked like after I finished with the left side of the modchip. I started with the pads and legs of the chip to the left of the chip, and then followed a counter clockwise pattern around the modchip once I finished soldering those first set of wires. With the modchip mounted I soldered each wire to the board. Make sure you leave room by the modchip for a few wires to run to the legs of the chip to the left. I also made sure that the metal shell would fit back on with the chip in that position before I stuck it to the board. I chose to mount my modchip on top of one of the larger chips in the middle of where all of the wires needed to go. The chip comes with double sided tape that you use to stick it to the board.

Without pin H soldered I was able to run homebrew, but not run game backups from the disc drive, so pin H is important.Īs you can see from the diagram there are a total of 21 wires that need to be soldered from the PS2 to the modchip. I found many diagrams that didn't include the point H, which is actually needed. The diagram is labeled for Japanese and Taiwanese PS2 consoles, but it's the same wiring for American consoles. If you need a diagram for another version of the PS2 just leave a comment and I'll upload a copy for you. This diagram is the same for Modbo 4.0 and Modbo 5.0 chips.

Since these tips apply across a lot of posts, I've put them into a single page that is linked to from multiple posts. I've learned a lot along the way, so I'd like to share some tips that may help your modchip installation experience be a smoother one.

Soldering tipsĪt the time of writing this post I have installed a modchip into two different PS1 systems, two different PS2 systems, and soldered a Teensy to a PS3 slim. You just need patience, good eyes, and a steady hand. In other words you don't need a super special tip for your soldering iron.

I'd also like to mention that I was able to install the modchip with a pretty standard 1.6mm chisel tip on my Hakko FX-888D soldering iron. The Modbo 5.0 chip allows booting homebrew directly off of a USB flash drive, which is less important for a PS2 fat, because of the hard drive bay, but still a nice feature. 30 AWG kynar insulated wire wrapping wireīoth the Modbo 4.0 and Modbo 5.0 modchips are good modchips.They are pin compatible, I bought my chip from Eurasia. Update: I put together a Modbo modchip installation guide that covers all board revisions. This blog post covers the installation of the Modbo 5.0 modchip into my SCPH-39001 PS2 fat console. Things like playing games from other regions, playing PS1 and PS2 backups, and running homebrew applications. Modchips for the PlayStation 2 you to get more out of your PS2. Since I also own an SCPH-39001 PS2 fat, I decided to install a modchip into it. In fact, I might eventually get one, and you might eventually see my HDLoader up on the forum for sale lol.Earlier this month I installed a Modbo 4.0 modchip into my SCPH-70012 PS2 slim console. I would much rather just be able to burn a game to disc and then be done with it forever.

I guess you can buy a bigger drive, but I didn't want to, and the fact that IDE drives are kinda expensive now in my opinion.Īll that being said, I would much rather have a mod chip for my PS2. Then, once filled, there's the annoyance of having to delete a game off the drive to put a new one on. My biggest spare drive that I didn't mind devoting to the PS2 is 80GB, which can be filled up rather quickly with PS2 games. Doesn't sound that bad but gets old fast.Īlso, you have to consider the size of the drive. First off, you can play backups with it but every time you wanna put a new game on it you have to take it out of the PS2 and hook it up to a computer, load the ISO(s) onto the drive, then replace the drive in the PS2. I have HDLoader, and I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would. Good luck, though, if you're really set on a modchip. Lisalover1 wrote:HDLoader can be far more convienient than a bunch of DVDs.
