Haha, thank you, I should post these to forums and stuff like that but i dont know where to post them for people to see and enjoy

RETRO GAMING ARTS Go to Reddit or AssemblerGames.

I've never been on reddit once in my life, Dont even know where/what to do I'll put them on assembler games though

RETRO GAMING ARTS Don't worry, man. You'll get there. Because I got hope for you.

Thank you very much

Very nice work! Kinda like how I do mine: www.dropbox.com/sh/rinb1a1ie8hs278/AACY9G7FVqKqv9rpHgq23hKja?dl=0 and also this folder: www.dropbox.com/sh/4qdw4s4xl1w8iny/AABbTKSl68ujvSPEcX9lVwWNa?dl=0 this one is for other chip install diagrams: www.dropbox.com/sh/ce3wo7ajucfam5m/AAB8iRekW1JujGyTUPgB7xHxa?dl=0 The only thing that I mind in the video is the fingernail clippers. Or people using exacto knives or razors. They will work in a pinch but I recommend these: www.amazon.com/Hakko-CHP-170-Micro-Cutter/dp/B076M3ZHBV/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525193368&sr=8-3-fkmr1&keywords=hakko+wire+stripper+30awg and this www.amazon.com/Hakko-CSP-30-1-Stripper-Maximum-Capacity/dp/B00FZPHMUG/ref=pd_sim_328_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00FZPHMUG&pd_rd_r=A4FB5FCJNJYDE8HJ4QPA&pd_rd_w=DnC0t&pd_rd_wg=tmUdD&psc=1&refRID=A4FB5FCJNJYDE8HJ4QPA and for the via points: www.amazon.com/SE-7616SB-Fiberglass-Scratch-Brush/dp/B003NHDITW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1525193625&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=fiberglass+pen+radioshack I will post a complete list of my tools if you want and not just for soldering (EVERY tool). Cheers man, you've got a subscriber!

Thank you very much for checking me out, and sticking around some

hey thanks killahmods! That's the goal, share informationq

Thank you

Thank you yo, I feel it's important to share our tips and tricks, ya know? help the community grow

Hell yes!! And thank you! My ps2 modwork in some of my newer videos is alot better than this, this video was over a year ago. I've improved greatly. But thank you for enjoying!

Michael Aranda hahahah, thanks michael, with my new clean work station i can start doing more live streams in the shop, it was ALOT to setup last time. But now that im almost finished it will be alot easier

Michael Aranda thank you for the art comment by the way, thats what im going for

Michael will always rally for Pimp My Console Thursdays lol

Aaron Johnson where is video? You modded your PS 2 or not? Thanks!

I am editing my mod attempt right now. I hope to have it up soon.

for some of the ps2's there's alternate solder points you can use, depending on the motherboard revision, and soldering the the pins can be tricky on certain chips, the main chip on the ps2, the fine pitch can be tricky, flux + 30 awg kynar + fine tip = you win :-) i know you can do the fine pitch soldering, maybe if you have a broken one or something, practice some random soldering on a fine pitch chip before you attempt on your personal. but me, i would just go for it.

heyo, how did it go?

Thank you, is this the only video of mine you have seen? I just did a newer one of the same mod and if you wanna see some of my best, i post that on instagram. either way. thank you so much

Hell yes!! And great job!

This one wasn't even one of my good ps2 videos, check out another one of mine if you plan to do another. None the less, great job to you, im happy

I got confused at first because i didnt have that type of wire used, so when i put it together the first time it booted but wouldnt read any discs wire was too thick. So i robbed the wire i had on my ps1 chip which was the same stuff so i had to recycle and kinda out source but it works.

thank you, lots of tops and techniques in lots of my vids, i hope they help, let me know how your ps2 turns out

Ok, I'll tell when it's done. Not to soon though, lots of IRL stuff to do before I get my hands on that.

@iKarith I just posted a new ps2 video, I'm pretty much using the same methods, but i talk alot more about the solder points. The new video isn't my best work but its pretty cool cuz i install it on a Crystal Chip witch we dont get to see very often

Thanks, this was an old one, please watch a newer ps2, theyre WAAAAY better than this one and all these in this video. But still, thank you very very much

THANK YOU FOR HEARING IT!! HELL YEA!

your 100% right, super glue works by melting the plastics and binding it together it seems, so it can deteriorate the wires over time, that's why i try to use as little as possible, thank you very much for watching (by the way, this is a bad one! wait till you see some more recent videos!)

it's kinda tricky to get the wire to be tinned, try applying solder to the iron, having a small dab on the iron, and then using the flux to transfer the solder from your iron to the wire. have the wire ontop of where your going to solder it to. this is the wrong way to do it, but it can work if your having some troubble. this modwork in this video is very old and bad and i'm uploading a better version of this video that focues more on the solder joints very soon!

YES!! hahahahah good ear

Ahmad Maher thank you very much. Yes this chip will play ps1 burned games. And it will work on that model ps2. The chips are available on my website for sale. And i will always reply. Thank you again

Nice, I did a few other videos on the ps2, the matrix infinity install on a slim video may be very very helpfull to you. But the scratch pen you got will do wonders

Thank you, while your checking out my vids. Help me out, leave comments so I can see what videos you naturally decide to watch. But one of my favorites is "sega saturn mission stick" that one is super cool. Thank you so much

I love how you noticed 😀😀

RETRO GAMING ARTS unforgettable soundtrack. Dare I say, best video game sound track?

Yes it does

atleast cable managment seems like

Hey! Thank you so much! So, there's Various Types of flux, For a liquid flux this is a good 2 pack, so you get to try 2 different concentrations and see what you like more (I use both, they both work fantastic, some people will prefer 1 over the other) www.ebay.com/p/60-Ml-Combo-Kester-951-Kester-186-Soldering-Lead-Flux-No-Clean/12027470326?iid=273630692108&chn=ps Now here is a flux paste, i call it jelly flux cuz it has the constancy of jelly.. (lol) I use this for different applications depending on the situation. www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/MG-Chemicals/8342-50G?qs=6SAGcVcpVil6QxsjfUWJgQ%3D%3D&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-JXiBRCpARIsAGqF8wXq1Af-asIg1i2gkZODI2IPfKgHj7ZS9pj2xqXnE58Gav_tpSrrUr8aAg_6EALw_wcB now in my personal experience, no clean liquid flux is a GAME CHANGER.. however I still uses the jelly flux quite frequently. Either or will work for quite some time. It really just comes down to preference. just as a general FYI, MG Chemicals is a top tier brand for all sorts of various soldering equipment, not essential to use that particular brand, you can use knockoff brands and get away just fine! Or use Kester, another extremely reputable brand. Side note, here's the EXACT Kynar wire i use (i use 3 different types, but this is a great one) www.ebay.com/i/252533787813?chn=ps Thank you very much for perusing my channel, anything you need to know dont hesitate to ask, there's alot of information on here, but I'm always happy to go more in depth. and if its an extensive topic just tell me to make a video about it!

@@RETROGAMINGARTS Hey thank you so much for taking the time to reply, it's very much appreciated! It's a right pain to find quality flux in Serbia and it's too expensive even for the the cheaper quality stuff hence I asked. Will definitely buy some of the "jelly" flux, I would call it tacky flux but hey jelly does fine too. Thanks again for replying and providing links, kuddos to you brother.

@@beogeek I got you! I hope you can find it for a decent price! Good luck and thank you

marjo pardo you could solder it or use a mc card with free mcboot, if you dont have the tools to creat a free mcboot memory card just buy one for 10$ on ebay/amazon

Cant remember as I've done alot of these. Either me and you are looking at 2 different diagrams(consitancy between diagrams isnt exact) Or I soldered to the wrong point and fixed it later.

This vid wasnt supposed to be a 1-1 guide like that, mainly wanted to show the wire managment. I'm actually editing a video about a crystal chip install on a japan ps2. Will be uploaded in a few hours. This way you can see how much in ive progressed😃

to play backups and imports, and hdd support

Yes just cut them

I haven't, I've seen it used, thought about it, but for ps2s I wouldent because I'm stuck in my ways now lol, however! Theres a ton of other applications I've thought of that I do want to use it for, just havent gotten around for those projects yet

The bios in the ps2 has a region and security protection, it scans the disc to see the region and type of media, and if its not official ps2 disc or the programmed region. It doesn't read it. In the test units. They ommited this, witch makes it easier for developers to test their games in progress, so they could burn them to a disc and play them, before they where finished. The modchips are essentially a reprogrammed bios, that injects its code into the ps2 before the bios does, and the modchips are similar to the bios on your test unit. Thank you for finding this video. Please check out more of my ps2 related videos, this is my worst ps2 video. I think you'll really enjoy the rest. Anymore questions never hesitate to ask or hit me up with video ideas, be apart of this and help me shape this channel. You have a voice here.

i feel not enough heat is generated to cause any issues

I've done multiple videos on that subject, I put them all in a playlist called "solder basics" I would watch that whole video series. The "getting into console modding and repairs" video is the absolute best for you I think

I did a video about the crystal chip. And the original matrix infinity, and duo3, and my entire chip collection, check out some of my newer ps2 mod vids, there's alot of them

No effect. Using light amounts of glue helps

this is just a non-spill paste, rosin soldering flux, it's radio shack brand, kester 186 no clean flux is the better option, but i'm still trying to use up all my non spill paste flux

super glue, i just did another ps2 modding video explaining all the tools used and it goes in depth, i have 10 videos or so about this aswell lol, but my newer ones goes over every tool, thank you for watching

you can find power and ground from the power supply

Its call crazy glue

i've pieced together original matrix infinity install diagrams with modbo 3.0 diagrams in order to do some modbo 5.0.. lol it's possible, I would try, just be ready to test, because i had to do some testing in order to get the correct install points

Regular branded super glue, but I get the one that has the brush, the brush makes it alot easier. Ans for exact location of that resistor, id need to look at a schematic and a motherboard, why do you need to know, what happened?

@@RETROGAMINGARTS thanks for the reply. I've been trying to backport the comsoft laserfix to the 5000x series PS2s. I installed in on a v9 but the only thing it does is keep the fan running at full speed and unable to turn off the console unless I use the mains on off switch. R609 seems to be connected to the INT line which was used for the v12 slim. Following that logic it should trace to pin 78 of the drive security processor where b,g,h,i,a,y are soldered to. Unfortunately the gh026 service manual i have doesn't clearly show side b and shows very little of side a. I sent a link with more info to your Twitter, just have to switch to page 1 of that post. I'll double check my Dropbox for the zip folder. Thanks in advance!

Thats so cool, I just read both of these, you figured it out??? Your over here installing comsofts on ps2 fats?? Where did you even get the comsofts lolol. This is so cool

@@RETROGAMINGARTS I was able to get the v4 archive from Kel over on assembler games and now obscure games. I was able to create a pcb from the .brd file that was originally in the archive the other files like final_draft_labeled etc are the completed files. There is an msop version Id like to finish for myself as I originally ordered the wrong form factor for the ics. The gh026 doesn't have an official schematic yet as I wasn't able to find a good service manual to screenshot the points. Might see if I can take more pics and upload those soon. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to unchip my board though. Anyways, I have lots of ps1 and ps2 files on 3 hard drives so everything stays safe. Cheers again!

@Retrogammingarts, Follow the latest posts by Kel from this link: www.obscuregamers.com/threads/comsoft-v4-fix-confirmed.2978/ Upon further testing only Ps2 DVD games work on the v10 from my attempts, ps1 cd based games and ps2 cd based games cause the system to turn off.

Mg chemicals no clean liquid flux

@@RETROGAMINGARTS is that the jelly flux? Because I've seen a few comments in the past asking for the jelly flux and you say it's in video description but I've watched all of your PS2 vids and never once seen anything other than the instruction paste bin.

HEy! i'm seeing this comment 4 months late, but my newest video is another PS2 install, where i touch ALOT on techniques for the solder joints themselves, maybe it can help if you try ps2 again in the future

Here's the video I did about ps2 slim modding, this has lots lots more info about it, I go over Install diagrams, how to find them, and theres a text guide I put in the description, much more informative kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8unfpuJmMWbgps.html

v7-v10

Yes, the one featured in this video, however you do have alot more options, I did a video about a ton of different ps2 chips, and in that video you can know what all of them offer and do. I would check it out. It's called "my ps2 modchip collection" or something like that, the thumbnail is like 20 different modchips

@@RETROGAMINGARTS Modbo 5.0 is the right choise to get the region free and backwards compatibility, HDD support? thought you said it could brick the bios in your other video! could you please explain, you lost me there! my console is scph-39004 if that is for any help!

Sony adr55 4k camcorder. The zoom on it is extremely good

Then I use davinci resolve14.5 to edit

@@RETROGAMINGARTS Nice!

325-350

Do you tin your tip and clean it with flux? Do you change tips while iron is on? Is your filliment clean? Trying to figure our why it doesnt heat evenly

RETRO GAMING ARTS I tin it occaisionally with flux cored solder, but I clean it with a brass wire cleaner thing, and it's very bright and shiny. The chisel tip I use is still working perfectly, but the point tip os now only useful halfway up. It's from a reputable seller, but the iron came with a similar tip that degraded quickly.

Can you link me to the tip you use? It looks a lot smaller than mine in the video, but a web search shows a tip similar to the one I have (sorry for being demanding!)

only the cpu and gpu need it, the rest are fine

Ps1 is excellent practice for ps2 mods. Maybe the tip is the issue. I've used various different tips on my ps2 mods tho. I've done several ps2 videos. They all show different techniques and use different tools, watch my other ps2 videos to learn more, they will probably help. A few trys, and a bit of patience and you'll be able to do it very well. I know it

@@RETROGAMINGARTS Thanks alot I really admire the work you do. Ill keep watching your videos and practicing more. I recently did another ps2 got all the soldering down good but I must be missing something. The ps2 goes on but no mod menu. I'll keep up with it until I get it. Thank you alot for the reply

Yep, I did a 72-42 recently, check it out on instagram and Facebook. Its alot better install than the 1s from this video

i type the model number and the motherboard number into google images and one will come up, i like to go by the "GH-051-12" model number printed on the motherboard, in addition to the "SCPH-39000" number
