  • 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.

    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.
  • @dappermanphoto
    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.
  • 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!
  • @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.
  • 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!

    If you can't afford a microscope don't worry as you must be less than 30 and have good eyesight.
  • @Sword420
    I'm a huge fan of PCSX2 but I'm not going to lie, that's friggin' SICK!
  • @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!
  • @Runeblade-qr8nn
    Awesome work and good video keep up the good work, love watching stuff about such old consoles and old pc stuff.
  • @antonmaier2263
    ps2 is probably the most timeless case and this guy is designing his own case
  • @ZiggyDaZigster
    "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
  • @billmarcello9134
    Awesome video, you went so much more in depth than I thought you would, Hats off
  • @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!)
  • @followTheeWind
    never thought you could do this, good job for all the process and you made it!
