Well that is why I am here, if any one mods there PS2 and something goes wrong post here or @consolerealm.com/Tech/modules/vbulletintchild said:not for the lamer lol
Here is a pic of the v12 PS2 with a DMS4 Pro chip and DVD/CD protection mod in place. I have not had the pleasure to mod one of these yet. But looks simular to modding the v1 thru v3 PS2 a b1thch
VERSION 12 PIC HERE
The versions 4 thru 10 are the easiest and turn out looking much nicer as my earlier pic shows.

I've put the matrix infinity onto a v12 and TBH, it was easier than the v1-11 versions. Because of the external PSU, you can easily test the unit before reassembly

Good to know about the v12.Martin C said:I've put the matrix infinity onto a v12 and TBH, it was easier than the v1-11 versions. Because of the external PSU, you can easily test the unit before reassembly

Yea that is one of thing that does sucks about the v1 thru v10 is you have to put it back together to find out some thing is not right with the install.
...and yes version 11 for the rest of the world outside of the US/Can/Mex

I am so glad I never had the urge to install a chip on my PS2, oh I was eyeing it but you know.....Xbox is better
Team DMS does make a solderless option, I have not played with this yet though.Hellsredeemr said:

I'm not a big fan of solderless solutions.
The best way by far to join two metals for conductivity is by soldering. You avoid oxidation and other problems such as misalignment.
The difference between the Xbox and PS2 is just down to ability.
If you've never soldered in your life, you can probably get by soldering an Xbox modchip, since the majority is soldering in places that were designed for the job (LPC and d0 pad).
There's no way I'd ever recommend anyone making a PS2 chipping their first solder attempt unless you have zero interest in the result.
