Just finished installing a PSTwo modchip!

Just got finished installing this chip for a forum member, thought I'd post some pix of it! I'm pretty happy with how it came out, although I could have made it a bit cleaner in spots.

what's the purpose of that?

 

[RaiderJ]

Play backups, load games from a hard drive, etc.

 

[Zim Hosein]

That looks like a lot of work!

Nope, DMS4 Pro (it says it on the chip itself).

On some models. I had a 9001, it didn't have the port on the back, so I had to solder mine in

Xbox don't even need a modchip if do a softmod, but you will not have some of the more advanced modchip features i believe.

I had a screw on modchip.. no solder required. I didn't use it for backups though. I ran linux and media center on it, and sega/nintendo emulators.
