PS2 Mod Chips

PS2 Mod Chips are electronic chips that can be added to your PS2. Once installed, thePS2 mod chip will allow you to play backup games from CD-R/DVD, imported games, open source apps, and homebrew software.  Installing your mod chip is not like rocket science, but can be intimidating for many.  The only tools you will need are a screwdriver and a 15-watt soldering iron.  Depending upon your experience with soldering irons, it could take you anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.


Pre-Mods: Let the Pros Do It

Installing PS2 mod chips really aren't that difficult.  It does take some time and effort though.  For those of you who may not want to perform digital surgery on your PS2's, you might want to consider buying a pre-modded PS2.  Pre-modded systems come with the mod chip built in so you don't have to do it yourself.  We found refurbished and brand new pre-modded systems at Modchipstore.com at some very good prices.  PS2Cover.com also has great deals on Pre-Mods.
