Mod a PlayStation 2 Slimline for FREE! NO CHIPS!

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to mod your playstation 2 to play imports and backups. This process will take 5 (-) minutes. You need swap magic discs which you can find online.

Step 1 Disassembling the ps2.

Turn the playstation upside down and unscrew the screws.
*NOTE* This will void your warranty.

Okay. Now you have it disassembled. . . Do not touch the power ribbon.

i have copies of ps2 games and im wondering whether this modchipping can help me play the games

[abhinav.bejoy]

Hello,
I downloaded swap magic and burned them into a dvd.. When i insert it into my ps2 it says please insert a ps2 format disk . Can anybody help ????

[aditya0115]

it will not work because u will need an original disk to boot i ve also tried

[Hollow_Zer0]

Hey, to use the burned copy of swapmagic like you are trying to do, you would need a modchip. the original swap disc is burned into an official ps2 disc, therefore the un "modchipped" ps2 will think it is an official game. so the answer is no, you need the original, purchased disc.

[sft krystal]

do u need to buy the disc or what i did the steps on here but it say u need format disc what that

[cody777]

wish i could do this for my phat
worked well for my sisters slim tho

[godzillalikespie]

Thanks so much! I did this a little differently but I needed a guide to cover up the first sensor you covered. Instead I covered up sensors A and B while the ps2 was still apart, I found it much easier way because I could tape sensor B into closed position from the bottom. I did a quick test and sure enough, the disk spun with the door open!

[jhselti]

can you just use a drop of super glue to keep it down

[neo-sky]

can it work with the old ps2?

[scaryduck21]

I though its the same model as what i have...

but when i dissasembled my ps2.

It's not the same..

My PS2's model is SCPH-90002

Does someone know how to modify this kind of model?

[abhinav.bejoy]

Thanks A lot !!!!

[db102]

Why do you need this step if u still need a swap disk after this?
I just put a screw into the hole for the stopper and cardboard into the one for the lid and it plays burnt games if i load with real one first.
I thought this step would allow u to not need a swap disk but it doesn't sound like it

[tschuler]

you guys are dumb

[thedarkotaku]

i found this out when the first psone came out. of course everyone knows you can do this with ps1 discs in the ps2 as well but here is from my old website http://cjp33.tripod.com/nodoc.doc its a guide to play burned psone games using an original disc and a burned disc. its pretty simple. anyone needs any help gettin this to work hit my email up [e-mail]

[Bloaty]

This is the crappiest instructable i have ever seen! It isnt free! It isnt original! It isnt even made by this person!

[foxtrot4697]

well what do you have to buy? whats so unoriginal about it? who was it made by?

[sharkstun97]

sorry to reply on a year old comment but you have to buy a swap disc, its unoriginal because he used photos from an after dawn post

[Ashinka]

who made it then?

[dutchboy12]

I just did the mod but i don't have the swapmagic disc and can't buy one =.= is there any other alternative that works with ps2 slim? or maybe involving downloading swapmagic or something?

[ajplmr]

I found that in order to get this method to work I had to ensure step 2 was completed (not sure that it was necessary), letter A was pressed down AND that a piece of cardboard was taped taped to letter B.
See this video for a better explanation: www.youtube.com/watch

[socram8888]

If we need a Swap Disc, this is not free

[mathwiz97]

By Swap disk he means using a mod like this, gbatemp.net/index.php

Hello guys

Just need a little help. I have a ps2 slimline scph 70003 PAL. I bought a swap magic 3.6 recently but I cant play my imports. So, I assumed that I need a flip top to play imports. Now, I saw the intruction on how to block the sensor, but i saw another video in which the person did the same without opening the console. he just uncensored the point A B and C. But here i see you asking to open the console ..am a little confused ..can anyone help ..thanks

[Evil Mr Foo]

yes the same mod can be done without opening your ps2 however it's easier to open it

[robbysingh]

hi i m Akash pls someone help me tell me how to i m spend Rs. in modify

this is my id fast pls - [e-mail] 

[riverreaper]

im just give ya a headsup on your pic posted you have your bar code # covered up {im not sure why but i bet theres a reson } but you left the lines in plain view - there are your bar code an can be read by any barcode reader , if there was a reson to cover the no. you should put something over thous lines as well . dont know if they still give them out free but i had a barcode reader i could hook into the computer to get links to any sights that i had recorded codes of earlyer at the store , or from anything that had barcodes on them around the house .
