w00t.... got my new PSTwo

[SingaBoiy]

Works great. Opened it up, put some tape on the little things that detects if its been open, closed it, loaded swap magic, loaded GTA SA. :01:

The damn tape wouldnt stick. I thought of using superglue to hold down the tape and it worked. Plus im sure ill be able to remove it later if i need to. This is so easy to use too :1eye: <--- even this guy could do it.

Anyways, Agent... I got that Comcast upgrade too :D

4 MB/s down now
:devil: :devil: :devil:

Im still not clear what you do with the tape, can you take picture.
Also where do you get the Swap, I have THIS (http://www.psxdepot.com/psxchange2.htm) already, imagine its similar...

[SingaBoiy]

ConsoleSource (http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/customer/product.php?productid=1581&cat=&page=2)

Damn, I should have takin some pics of the little thing you put tape on.

You know the original playstation. How it had the little tab in the back that let it know if it had been opened, well that what you tape over so it stays down.

I dont wanna open it up cause those screws were a b**** to take in and out without striping.

[silent h3ro]

Congrats, n00b. :)

[gildan2020]

PS2s have versions?
i dun own a PS2 so i didn't know that
so wat version is urs?


gildan2020

[SingaBoiy]

I think its v.11. Either that or 12.

[mr. nails]

it says a slide card needs to be used in conjunction with ur swap magic jazz. wtf is a slide card and how to use?

[SingaBoiy]

When you get it, it comes with instructions on how to use it. You dont need it if you have one of the new PSTwo's though.

[freak]

Works great. Opened it up, put some tape on the little things that detects if its been open, closed it, loaded swap magic, loaded GTA SA. :01:

Congrat! wish i had one but i'd be careful from what i've been hearing the lasers in those things are worse then the first batch of ps2s at launch... The "pstwo" laser just dies no DRE's or anything just a complete fried laser. Some people are saying sony made a mistake and theres to much voltage going to the laser which is causeing them to fry but who know an good luck with yours

[scribblec]

u know when u open this one is there any ribbon cables and stuff to be wary of


*still hasnt got his ps2"

[SingaBoiy]

Since version 9 they havent had the ribbon in them. The ribbon that goes to the reset/eject button.

[Livy]

went to get one today and everywhere is outta stock. :(

[SingaBoiy]

I went to Bestbuy, they didnt have it, 3 Gamestops, a Gamecrazy, and Target and they all didnt have it. Then I went to Circuit City as a last chance before I gave up, they had a ton of em.

This is the same thing that happened to me when I first got Socom 1. CC had a copy of it though :)

[Livy]

dont know any of the places, game said about 2 weeks to get one, and gamestation said about a month as they have 28 people on there waiting list, and only get in 8 a week. everywhere on the net is sold out too.

the guy from game said sony stops making there consoles for a bit at this time of year.

[killer04]

Oh

[scribblec]

the new ps2's are booby trapped


your ps2 will be useless soon

[SingaBoiy]

I should have put my old ps2 under the new one.

[bigdawgfoxx]

awesome love the slim design

B00by Trapped...
:unsure: :unsure:

[scribblec]

yes the ps2 detects something is wrong when both the sensors are blocked and it locks the machine



to be honest .......... no. There is something fishy about these 2 internal switches, im 100% sure that leaving them in the closed position for a long time tells the memory that something is not right.And to be honest, if it was this easy to foil Sony, why would they bother ....... At present im sure the only way around it is to chip

you will be fine if its normal

maybe its only for ntsc machines though

That would be the dumbest thing for sony to do. So if I left my pstwo closed for extended amounts of time, it would lock up? That would piss off so many people. And im sure there have been people using SM with it since it first came out. None of them are seeing any problems.

read for yourself, i personally would prefer the new version

but maybe it senses different games are being played while the lid is closed or something


read through this thread and u will see what im talking about

[SingaBoiy]

That guy didnt know what the person from ps2newz was talking about. He said "troublesome games". By that he was refering to those that need some sort of swapmagixfix (http://www.swapmagicfix.com/). The system may or may not lock up when only the back censore is covered. Works perfectly fine with both covered.

And I am thinking the people that cant even get any games to boot arent restarting their system. The game wont start up automatically unless you do so.

[scribblec]

so what about the ps2's that have stopped playing orignal games?

if my ps2 dont arrive today i might just get the new small one

[SingaBoiy]

Still need to restart it for it to auto boot. I say go for the small one.

[scribblec]

nvm i got the old version and swap magic works like a charm mwahhahaha


im so excited :P

Nice. Is it a normal ps2 or a slimline one?

Edit: Nevermind misread. :D

[scribblec]

yea now i need to install my dvd rewriter

already made a backup of a test copy and it worked :D:D:D

im not gonna install it myself cos we all know where thats gonna end up :P

[Mr. Elmo]

singa, how is your ps2 now? i sold my ps2 a long time ago, and so tempted to buy the new slim design one. i'm sure im going to mod it this time because seeing "ps2" under games at suprnova is too tempting. i dont want to fuck it up if im going to be getting one. The method seems easy enough, just want to know if you had that problem with the superglue thingy

[SingaBoiy]

Nope, still working great. Im suprized the lens is go doing soo good being exposed and everything. We got alot of dust and cat hair floating about and its like it hasnt bothered it.
