What if Sony made a Super Slim PS2? What would it look like? Well this mod from Wesk could be this answer! This is the Ultra Slim PS2 mod. It features the smallest PS2 form factor using real PlayStation 2 hardware and it features an INTERNAL MX4SIO mod to load games. It’s an absolute dream version of the console. Let’s take a look!

I'm glad there seems to be a lot of new stuff coming out for the PS2 these days! Like others, I'm still really hoping for an ODE style solution, as I still find the software preparation side of things extremely antiquated on PS2. Even mx2sio/mx4sio have been *quite* flaky for me in the past, despite modern improvements. Here's hoping, I suppose!
@Louhike Рік тому
Yes I had a ton of problems with mx4sio , I would not recommend it. Using the harddrive or the ethernet is an OK solution for the PS2 but an OSD would be great.
@partlyawesome Рік тому
ODE would also solve the PS1 backcompat problem most likely!
@VexAcer 8 місяців тому
Hopefully a PS2 ODE does happen at some point. OPL is great, but even nowadays with an HDD the compatibility still isn't perfect. It'd also likely allow for PS1 playback since the main reason PS1 games can't be played from the HDD is because the PS1 hardware is used for the I/O when they aren't being used for games.
@qurn Рік тому
This does look great, I love compact systems. I wonder how taller it would be if it just stacked the drive on top, or used an ODE to ensure near 100% compatibility.
@MachoNachoProductions Рік тому
Stacking the drive on top is a very interesting proposition.

Another con would be it only being able to use 79000+ versions. There are less of them out there than older models and not all of us want to go around finding them and cut them apart, however minor. If Wesk is reading these review he should try and make a version that uses older model slims. Even if they would be a bit bigger.

@michaelwarner5277 Рік тому
Regarding what you stated at 16:00 - I would actually have to disagree for a few reasons, as shown below: 1) When being kitted out as shown, the SIO mod will forego the weakness of having optically-based media - You don't need to worry about discs getting scratched, disc rot, failure of the laser diode, and drive motor failure, or if using this in a portable environment such as in a vehicle/RV, disc skipping during loads due to rough terrain while at the same time maintaining access to both memory card slots. 2) The removal of the optical drive means that the unit itself is actually more power efficient and will allow the power supply to operate (albeit marginally) cooler. 3) it's further reduction in size is more conducive to sitting it in smaller areas where even the slim ps2 would have otherwise taken up too much space. 4) you don't need to worry about keeping a library of discs laying around when traveling with it. Even if you must use one SD card per game, it would take many, many microSD cards to occupy the same physical space taken up by a single dvd disc.

With how much people are putting effort into modding these days, I really hope that we get a 79000 series full digital out mod at some point, by that I mean tapping straight into the board's digital video out (if the combined EE+GS+RAM chip doesn't do DAC work now...) before it goes to the digital-analog conversion. That would mean perfect HDMI output for PS2s, with the portable-friendly 79000 series (probably similar work on the 90000 series) boards. I would work on a PS2 portable project myself if that ends up happening.

Absolutely beautiful, I can't wait for the future of the PS2 going forward, as PS1/Saturn/Dreamcast all have ODE's available now, with optional HD output that looks and plays great. As a diehard PS1/PS2 collector, I'd say that the PS2 is the last of the older consoles that really needs a way to play on modern TV's with great visuals and no lag. Heck, getting it to look good on the old 1080p HDTV's was like shooting blind. I've had some pretty good results with Monster component cables on an older LG HDTV hooked up to the PS2, but 3D games still don't look good(but 2D and 3D PS1 games look surprisingly crisp played on a PS2 with this setup). Too many jaggies, the colors seem to bleed almost, it's just crazy that the PS2 is the last of these consoles to get a proper, convenient HDMI solution. People in the comments here are talking about current projects, so I'm hopeful that we'll soon be able to easily buy the ultimate PS2 with an SD card reader and HD outputs.

@JohnWuWu Рік тому
I have mixed feelings for this kind of mods (the ones that involve cutting boards and destroying parts of the original hardware) when applied to working machines though in this case it wasn't that aggressive (like in handheld conversions). For one, it seems a very fun project but on the other side, destroying parts of working PS2 makes me a bit uncomfortable, like there is a limited amount of PS2 out there and no factories are producing more. I know it's irrational, it's the PS2 and it's the most sold console in history so there will probably be a bunch more of consoles in the second hand market for years to come, but even so, some part inside of me feels a bit uneasy.
@MajoraTheEncryption Рік тому
The PS2 sold 155 million units, I don’t think you have to be too worried about us running out in our lifetime and there will be thousands preserved in pristine condition. The PS4 was out by the time they stopped production on them. I’m sure most people attempting this mod including myself will use a 79X model they have lying around or find a well used/broken disc drive one for cheap on eBay like i did. Better to use it for a fun project like this than for it to be thrown out for good.

Very nice video as usual. Very interesting mod this, it looks quite accessible too. I'm bucking the trend and saying that the board cutting part had me nodding my head, making me think that yeah, this is the kind of mod even I could do! That part at least! The bit that caught my attention was the SD card part: could that section alone be done to any PS2? It seems to me that the special MC with the SD card port on it is, fundamentally, a micro SD to PS2 passthrough? I think it would be interesting to add an SD card slot to a fat console and save buying the adapter? Do I have that right?

@Macho Nacho Productions amazing content!! Would you ever consider doing a video on a dsi xl... for example a case mod, a usb c mod, or even wireless charging
@torouxFR Рік тому
I just finished to do the same project! (Except that mine is black). Ps2 mini is so cute ! Your video helped me a lot, thank you ! (It was my first time doing electronic stuff)

This is a really nice looking and clean mod for something using a custom shell. So much nicer looking than any of the GBA consolizer mods. Resin printing is amazing.

Great video Tito! I may have to do this as I might be setting up a "tiny" console area to play after moving house. Despite going up massively in square footage, my retro area has gotten a bit smaller haha. For virtually any ODE that needs to stream data directly from the card, Samsung cards are some of the worst you can buy. I own almost every ODE out there and Samsung cards have an issue, only with games using streaming data/music, where you'll get weird hitching and craziness. The leading theory is that they do something to keep up with the file system to keep it clean (something similar to garbage collection) that many other SD cards do not do. The PS2 might not care about this, but it also might depending on the game. YMMV. I'd recommend sticking to simple/cheap Sandisk Ultra cards as they have been known to work in every single ODE solution without issue assuming they are legit Sandisk cards (always buy from reputable source).

It's beautiful man. As far as projects go, it seems pretty easy. I'm still struggling with that Wii mini wifi mod to the point where I'm researching if it's even necessary to hack the system. I will consider using pcb way to make a case for my Mister project.
@MachoNachoProductions Рік тому
I think you do still need the hack to get the original Wii os on there

@@MachoNachoProductions thanks. Its a struggle with the tiny solder. Looking forward to your next project!

Loved the slim model. Watching gaming magazine DVDs on it back in the days and playing re4. Oh the memories.

A tip I use whenever I cut something like that USB port removal at the 6 minute mark. I make sure there is more left on the board then I'd sand it down with a needle file to get a clean edge. That way you ensure that once you're done its all flush.

The most interesting part of this mod is seeing the SD card adapter directly to the memory card slot, I was not aware this pin compatibility.
@B0110CK5 Рік тому
That thing looks amazing. I'd buy one in a heartbeat or ship my Slim off to someone to mod mine if I could.

Remaking this with the sd to ide mod and internal hdmi would make this THE beast of PS2s
