My wife was cleaning out a closet in our basement and found this PS2 mod chip that I had bought years ago. I had completely forgotten about it, and actually own a Japanese PS2 Slim, so I have no use for it whatsoever.
I'll ship it for free. It's still in its little plastic seal, and hasn't been touched. Unfortunately, I know nothing about it as a friend of mine was going to do the mod work for me but never got around to it.
I can't imagine that anyone would want this. But I thought I'd check with you guys, just in case. If more than one of you wants it, I'll draw names out of a hat or something.
Have at it!
EDIT: I just did a quick Google search and found this

That is friggin' rad. Sign me up for the raffle please.
There's that easy option of getting Free McBoot software on a memory card and pretty much it's plug'n'play after that. No risk/need of chips and solder work these days. I might've wanted this some day, but now I'd just get Free McBoot from Bernie (https://www.facebook.com/berniesgameroom).

Woah, wasn't aware of such a thing. Was using Swap Magic for years until I recently bought a JP PS2. Thanks.
I too was using Swap Magic, though haven't needed it in quite some time. I would usually use Swap Magic & rip a game onto the PS2 HDD, so I didn't have to keep swapping. I kept a few Jp games on there, namely, PC Genjin, Transformers Tatakai, & Ys 5. I beat PC Genjin, but not the others yet. I may have to get that Bernie card dealy someday. I've been going back & attempting to play catch up on PS2 games, instead of my usual PS3 backlog(though, I have a PS1 backlog as well which I occasionally delve into). Speaking of which, does anyone know if anyone's found a way to rip PS1 games onto the PS2 HDD?
slinky, you still want this thing? If so, PM me your address and I'll ship it out to you.
I'm interested if this still a thing.
Yes, these are still a thing. I do them as people want em. :)
Yes enter me, doing mods is fine in my book!
To give you an idea of how this works.. I have installed a 500 gig HD in my Phat PS2, and loaded a ton of PS2 games onto it, ones that I wanted. One of which was the English translated Dragon Quest V.... Nice game by the way. Awesome way to play those Japanese games.

Ah, so there was a DQ 5 remake released on the PS2. I didn't know about that.
I kinda quit at DW 4 on NES, though I did buy DW VII for PS1, but it sits unplayed/untouched in my backloggery TO DO list of other PS1/PS2 games, etc... For a time there, I waited around for a DQ 5 SNES fan patch, but that never happened or maybe it did now, but I lost interest.
Just got the chip in the mail. Thx much!
