modding a Playstation2 - whats the best solution now ?
Been ages since I got mine done, years in fact.
A mate wants his done but I've lost touch with the various options available.
Q: Is there still a solderless solution ? That would be ideal for him
Q: If he had to send it away (he's in Bristol) who will do it for him ?

It is now ILLEGAL for people to offer there services modding or chipping the PS2. If you want it done, either have to do it yourself (after sourcing a chip) or by going underground.

well why not do what i have done which is not illegal, and fit a hard drive with the official sony products 
mine isnt chipped or anything and i still have my warranty seal intact but i have 33 games on my ps2 hard drive and room for another 30 more 
only thing is they have to be original games as since mine isnt chipped it will not read backups, but if i wanted i could put one on the drive from blockbuster

In addition to stevebt's comments above, it is not necessary to put a chip in the PS2 to play backups any more. All you need is a memory card and a friend with a little know-how

Do a search in Google for 'cogswap loader', 'memory card exploit' or 'PS2 independence'
I've used this method before and it works fine, but you will need someone modded to put the files onto the memory card for you ()

i think the o2 mod is legal to fit cos it contains no code
similar to the x box stuff
please note i am not offering chipping or chip supply as this would be illegal

you would have to use a modded ps2 to put the backups on the hard drive , as the PS2 does not play backups in unmodded form

sorry I was unaware as to how you transfer onto the hard disk - it could've been a mechanism which used a bespoke read / write routine from the hardloader, in which case it could cope with DVD-R ,etc...

but I did find the Xbox chipping Easy with Dunks help
don't have any *contacts* so chipping is not good for me
the ps2 theres a non open box version which i think is called a slide tool?>
this version i believe BU your original games
which is much better,.
obviously just incase the disc is damaged
