  • Instead of replacing the fan with a 12v fan, why not just add a diode in line on the voltage side to the fan? This will add a 1v drop and will protect the system against any backfeeding.
  • @tspawn35
    FMCB also released a version that can be installed on the hard drive (ssd). Called Free Hard Drive Boot (FHDB). This means you don't need a dedicated memory card installed. It loads directly off the drive.
  • The fact that he called the resin coloring 'key bumps' made me understand how this man has the energy to do this. IYKYK.
  • @TheZax85
    This is hands down the most impressive modding of a PS2, i've ever seen. Nice job !
  • I was always fascinated with PS1 and PS2. The engineering prowess demonstrated by both systems is indeed commendable.
  • @TheWebstaff
    If you can't afford a microscope don't worry as you must be less than 30 and have good eyesight.
  • @Celcius1
    With the fan option, you could use a resistor or a couple of diodes in series to drop the voltage as two diodes in series, would provide a 1.4v voltage drop and run the fan at 5.6 volts
  • @superezbz
    Gotta be super careful moving oscillators. They can be very high frequency and moving them changes the impedance of the traces.
  • Quick note, I saw that you used wired to extend the crystal oscillator out. This is typically not a good idea since the crystal connections should be exactly equal lengths to the MCU, as well as contained within PCB traces so that they are parallel. Seems like it’s not causing a big issue for you though but just something to note for future projects. Great work overall though!
  • "I built a MODERN PlayStation 2..." = "I modded my PlayStation 2 with modern parts..." I read the title like he was literally building a PS2
  • A lot of hard work, dedication, and planning went into this project and I appreciate it. I absolutely liked this video and will share it right now!
  • @festro1000
    Might also be a good idea to put some mesh on the grates, to keep lint and stuff from making a nest in the system. Other than that great build, I had a lot of fun games I loved on that system and between that and the N64 made a lot of childhood memories.
  • @AlTheEngineer
    I think I would have kept the OG case, just my opinion! Also, as much as I love the SSD upgrade, I'd still want to play DVDs and CDs! I would have preserved that ability somehow! The PS2 was an awesome DVD and Audio CD player! By the way, you can use a voltage divider circuit to convert the 7 volts for the fan to around 4.85 volts, you need 2 resistors (1.2k and 2.7k ohms). Just make sure you get better resistors with smaller variances in resistance.
  • @Iskelderon
    Still have a silver Slim somewhere as a backup DVD player, along with silver controllers, remove and FMCB, so thanks for the nice walk down memory lane and congrats to this project!
  • @Dami2024ue
    Just found out about this channel, instantly subscribed! Keep up with the amazing work and happy new year dude!
  • @fluffycritter
    Funnily enough, Gran Turismo 4 is one of the few games on the PS2 that could already run at HD - with a component cable the PS2 could output 1080i, and a couple of games even supported it. (Heck, the option for that was very briefly visible when you were showing off the video settings!)
  • @Sword420
    I'm a huge fan of PCSX2 but I'm not going to lie, that's friggin' SICK!
  • @i_hakz
    Man that's so nice! I have a Slim PS2 here and I wish I could do some of those mods. Unfortunately I don't have the acknowledge neither the tools to do so. But thinking of it, what mods could you do with a slim PS2? That would be a nice part 2 for a video like this
  • @xeroinfinity
    There are a few PS2 games that are in 1080 HD. Also on the fan, find a small PWM circuit with a control knob. Then you can adjust the fan speed accordingly
