I’ve been taking apart ps2 consoles for more than 20 years now. I started out with repairing the infamous Disk Read Error. In all my years of opening consoles for this or that repair, and the few mods I’ve done myself, I’ve never seen such a skill level. It’s beautiful and artistic really! Everything from the care taken jn wiring layout to the soldering. I would very much like to purchase one of these, but I’d want HDMI as well. Very nice work! Kudos to you! Any thumbs down to this video would be just total ignorance and hating for no reason

*_The hardest work is what I just witnessed, It's more than 20 insane minutes where the King of Eletronica shows an incredible show of skills - I've frankly seen countless ModChips installations But nothing that compares to everything I've just finished see - Insane and absurdly professional - And the Work that is in my Top 5 of the most impressive and well executed - Congratulations to you - This really deserves my genuine one I like it .. A big hug to all_*

Oh man, this is amazing craftsmanship! I hope you'll keep making these for a while. I looked into how to handle SD-loading and region-free games on PS2 and this is by far the best solution I could find... but while I'm comfortable soldering easier projects, this is way out of my league, so I'm definitely planning on buying one of these from you in the future.

Freaking sick, really admire your soldering skill. Ratchet & Clank 2 music takes me back by the way, great choice 😊

Absolutely incredible craftsmanship on display. It's literally inspiring me to level up my skills. Instant sub.

Gosh that steady hand doing an absolutely amazing soldering job! Fantastic mate. I'm entertained

New subscriber, really impressed by the quality of your work. Must have done this mod many times. Beautiful work. Only video I've seen this video of yours but I hope to see more like it. Will look at the channel after the video

I enjoy seeing people like you who can do complex mods, as well as others who design them. Both groups are techno wizards in my mind.

Man that is some really aesthetic good wiring job, I love it.. sweet work!

This video is absolutely breathtaking to watch and rewatch, Gou Mods! The difference in quality and craftsmanship, not to mention technique, is far beyond what I've seen elsewhere and adding Ratchet & Clank music is a great addition and sells the whole process and makes it even cooler to watch and experience. As a bonus for anyone interested, I've started compiling a list of the songs Gou Mods used in this video with some timestamps for reference. Thanks again Gou Mods. Ratchet & Clank Music List: 100%-ed 0:00 - 3:07 Ratchet & Clank: 2 Going Commando (Hoverbike Race) - Replay 3:07 - 7:30 R&C: 2 Going Commando (Wupash Nebula) - Space Battle 7:30 - 11:37 R&C: 1 (Eudora) - Logging Site 11:37 - 15:56 R&C: 1 (Umbris) - Quark's HQ 15:57 - 19:51 R&C: 1 (Veldin in Peril) - Kyzil Plateau 19:51 (Features A Sneaky cut to the next song without fading like the rest did) 19:51 - 22:14 R&C: 1 (Quartu) - Robot Plant

Insane mod. Nice work, dude 👏

holy, yes insane work and craftmanship, kudos my friend.

I can't even imagine where one begins to learn all this. Fascinating!!!

I was first person who managed to do this mod on PS2 slim. Good work !

Seen the vid, clicked the link, purchased. You are awesome!

This is a crazy fucking mod! And I love it but I love how the music intensifiers and speeds up lol

This is absolutely Amazing I wish I understood electronics more. It would be so Awesome to own one of these. PS2 is my favorite console.

The sodering work and cable.management might be the best i have ever seen

This is Nucking Futs. If any of those wires aren't soldered properly, it just won't work. I applaud and admire your skill and craftsmanship.

Jesus dude, that is some top tier stuff. Kinda surprised no one made a flex cable to do these installs yet.

This is completely nuts. This is god level.

That's some amazing skills you have.

I think my jaw hit the center of the earth on this one, this is watching someone work perfectly.

GALÁTICOS ESTÚDIOS SONY APRESENTAAA!!! PS2 HEEEM... O AMANHÃ NUNCA MORRE!!! UMA HISTORIA DE SUPERAÇÃO E MUITA AÇÃO INCRÍVEL QUE VAI ELETRIZAR VOCÊ!!! COM ACESSÓRIOS QUE CADA VEZ MAIS SOFISTICADOS, O TORNA IMORTAAALLL!!! SEXTA FEIRAS NOS CINEMAS!!! E AGORA TAMBÉM EM MEMORY CARD E MICRO SD MAIS PRÓXIMO DE VOCÊ!!! TANRANANTANTAAAMMM!!! KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

This was beautiful to behold.

Just amazing...impecable work

This is like quadruple bypass heart surgery on an ant…. Holy crap. Ty for sharing. I am tech savvy and not great at soldering but i would pay anything to have it done for me. Props to u for your patience and surgical precision. Amazing. I never seen anything like this. Is there a map or diagram. I got lost after the first 5 minutes … wow.

I’m literally clicking like because the music is so good 😊

great skills, genius man, great job

You are an artist, it's pretty hard to do this

Nice and well job, dude!!!! Respectum!!!

youre crazy brother and amazing at the same time thats asome i wish i could to it so neatly like u congrats!!!

I'm watching this for the 2nd time after few months... Can we have a second like button? This is art!

Keep it up..great work

Give him 9 wires and an old remote control, he will develop the Playstation 6. Congratulations, great job! :)

amazing work ~

That's some good cable management right there

Totally recommend using a small drill bit for the operation seen at 2:56 😉👍

nice video, thanks for sharing👍👍

the Ratchet & Clank soundtrack is the point

fantastic work!

Very nice job

I'd be really interested in seeing the process in working out which wires connect each different part of the pcb or mod chip. That blows my mind that someone figured out how to do this, to this extent.

Amazing work. I’ve always wanted to do this. May I ask, is there any reason you went with a mars pro over something like a modbo5?

I see you did not keep on having a modern installation of your wires after the modchip installation. I do the same thing in general when i see that a project takes more than i expected.... I am teasing you :D :D . Nice job and i hope you find lots of buyers,to make you work even harder on something you like creating

indeed, it looks daunting

hallo, i have some Question. With wich PS2 Slim Model can i make the saim Mod. is it possible to do the saim Mod with a Modbo 5.0, is ther a difference between the Mars chip and the MODBO Chip? thanks for the nice video very good soldering job.

I clicked this thinking I could do this myself. So I guess I will just leave this comment here and ask that if you were to start this up, please hit me up, I wouldn't mind ordering one.

Impressed 😦

Where can you find/buy modchips for consoles like the ones you use here? I’ve been wanting to mod a couple slim 70000 Ps2s with damaged dvd drives and I really wanted to install a leftover HDD in one of them just for fun.

You used canvas sd card select plus kingston in project mx4sio?

😮🎉 increíble trabajo

is there any way this would work with an IDE to SATA converter to use a HDD/SSD instead? the forum mentioned something about not having driver support but I wanted to ask you since you seem to be well versed.

Did you have to brush the contacts off or where they readily solderable?

Perfect!!!

ps2 still alive

Hello, first of all, goddamn youre so talented!!! So smooth!! I want to ask. On which ps2 model can be mod ide-sd?

Hi, does this mod of yours still impose a problem with the PS10 fuse if the microSD is unplugged when the PS2 is sleeping? I'm interested in this but I don't know whether PS2 Slim has the fuse problem like PS2 Phat.

Have you tried installing the comsoft v4 laserfix? I was able to recreate that board that will help preserve the laser in the case of a mechacon crash. Works similar to matrix pic fix but also monitors the driver IC chip as well. Might have to adjust the outline a little trying to convert it to a qsb for ease of soldering. What are the parts used for the SD card board? Thank you in advance and have a good day!

Thats more wires my car wire harness has .. doing that yourself on a small board is Beast

well done :)

Love me a mars pro modified system!

Basically an internal IDE to SD-Mod! That's cool! It is faster than MX4SIO, but doesn't work on every console and isn't P'n'P! ;)

Thats insane...

On the V13 board there are these same points on the mod ide, I did it and it didn't work, can you tell me if it works on the V13?

What kind of read and write speeds do you get with that sd card adapter?

Hi! Nice video congratulations! I would like to do the same job you did in the video with my PS2 V12, but in my case I'm using a MicroSD to IDE adapter (not SD Card to IDE adapter). Looking carefully at your video and following the diagrams found on the internet, I noticed that pin number 28 (SPSYNC: CSEL) you connected it to the GROUND. Is it correct? Should pin 28 also be connected to GROUND? Thank you very much!

a very clean wirework!

Do these load faster than a usb? If so, when i get good at doing this stuff, i want to try my hand at it. I don't understand the point in the modchip though because won't it just do everything a fmcb memory card will? Also nice work. There is way more skill in this video than ive ever seen.

Impressive mod. I just ordered one from you, to ship to Belgium. I guess I'll have to format my SD card as FAT32 ?

Could something like this also work on a 90001x model ps2 slim?

How do you know where every cable goes to sd card reader?

Unbeliavable work, thank you for sharing!! Do you think this will work with a Matrix chip??

What device are you using to capture ps2 footage?

Really impressive... How do the loading speeds from the SD card compare to loading speeds from a DVD, or from a USB drive?

Awesome

A question. Does this Mod work with consoles with model 90001?

Still making them? How much?? The link says they're all sold out =(

What are all the parts and components you need for this mod?

Isso vai dar super aquecimento, principalmente essa versão que quase não tem entrada de ar

I completed this mod but after I format the sd card in ULaunchElf it is no longer recognizable on my computer. Have you ever seen this happen or know what the issue could be?

Can I load ps1 games from the sd card with this mod?

g-zus why so many wires??? I'm so clueless about eletronics Props to you! seems amazing

perfect!!!!

nice job ! but i must say. your first mod cable managment is awesome but after you moved on sd card part i can hear you saying "screw cable managment i'm tired as heck" :).

great job! Are there games that have compatibilty issues with this SDCARD mod? Have you tested a game that didn't work?

I tried this mod, but no activity led shows up and HDD Manager is stuck, what can it be? :(

Does this work on model slim 90010? I would like to know.

Muy bien 👍

Congratulation men enjoy ps2 games good playing in sd opl free mc boot

Belo trabalho, entrei no site para comprar e não está disponível, somente por encomenda?

I dont care about the PS2 things.. its just an insane soldering skill

where can i find the rac 1 soundtrack remix

do you have a video on how to get the sd card set up

Does this mod work on all 7700x models and below or just 7000x? Edit: I just found out that its only the 7000x, but do you know if this would work with the Japanese models?

Genial tk.

SCPH-700XX is my favorit...

Your job was so awesome 👌 Does this work ok fat models ? Thanks 😊

I'm curious, couldn't you do this without any modchips? You could do away with the mod chip and only add the IDE sd card, and instead just have FHDB installed on it, then you can have other apps too like emulators and media players as well as OPL for games :) (Though I'm sure that's possible with the mod chip too) The only thing you'd loose is playing backup/wrong region games, which I guess is important for other people, but it would still be possible with ESR patched discs One thing that'd be awesome would be to flash the SD card with PSBBN, so you can get that awesome PSX style dvr interface on your ps2 slim :)
