PS2 modding

[Tbird man]

anyone here heard of PS2 mods (no matter how extreme) other than a mod chip? like the Xbox watercooling project?

[Tbird man]

comeon someone has gotta know something?

I know there's a kit to to turn a PS2 into a Linux machine. Just use the search functrion for "linux" and "playstation" and you'll find a thread about it.

i would like to water cool and overclock a PS2 but need to know if it is possible

[catch22sk8r]

Did the ever get the XBOX To overclock

I havent heard of any PS2 Modifications.

my ps2 sat untouched for about 2 months, then i painted purple, painted the controllers too and changed the led's so they are yellow, i wanted to change the led's in the ps2 also but i figured that i probally should not mess around with it too much, then again, i don't think i would have much of a warranty after painting it......... awwwww crap........

You can check out my GameCube mods (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68152) if you want some ideas.

Some other ideas:
Using a larger HDD than Sony's, like switching a TIVO HDD
Adding a 3" neon
Adding 2 more controller/memcard slots (using a cannabalized plug-in model

i was thinking some leds and some glow rope. as for overclocking i would do it for bragging rights more than anything

That's not a mod, it's a type of PS2... just like the dev. model for people who make games.

i'm talking about that avatar of those two dudes falling off that truck.
it's off that MTV show "jackass" with johnny knoxville. those guys made the CKY2k videos too.

there IS a way to 'kinda' overclock your PS2. I am not sure where it is, but somewhere in the settings there is one to increase the drive speed, to make the discs spin faster. Thats all I know of! (Oh yeah, and I heard somewhere that in some countries that are not allowed to import computers, they built supercomputers from networking PS2's.)

I have an idea for a mod. not really a mod, just an addon. well you could always acually mount it inside the ps2... Have something where you just attach all the memory cards you own and then a switch(or multiple switches) to select the correct memory card. that way you wouldnt have as much of a chance of loosing a memory card or if you are like me and are going to have 2-3 memory cards for FFX you could just switch through the cards easily. sort of an expensive mega memory card :)
