One of my favourite things about this channel is learning just how many different variants there are of the same console model due to the internal parts slightly changing. Even the original GameBoy Advance had two different models.

@El_IsraPS2 Рік тому

20:50 although the connection is the same, the 70k is not equivalent functionality-wise to a expansion bay model Sony removed the HDD drivers from on board ROM. Wich essentially makes the 70k behave the same as a PCMCIA model, aka: *SCPH-1X000* To put it simple: it won't autonomously boot the HDD MBR program, it requires a bootloader on the memory card. Fortunately, FreeMcBoot has a secret feature to do the MBR booting on its own, it just requires pasting 3 .irx drivers into the corresponding system update folder

@El_IsraPS2 Рік тому

What are the advantages of booting off the MBR program? The HDD filesystem and S.M.A.R.T status are super quickly checked each boot if the MBR program supports it And this allows running FreeHdBoot, HDD-OSD and even PSBBN!!!

@FaSMaN Рік тому

Like you mentioned this was originally a mod discovered by a user over at psx-scene , it required a lot of wires and cutting into a IDE cable, later a Chinese manufacturer started making them on two flex cables and included a replacement bottom cover for the PS2 and a 12/5v power supply , it could take any 3.5" IDE hard drives, there was some bugs with the original software too but can't remember them as it was years since I last fitted one , we only ever got about a dozen of them before they disappeared off the market. Some things to consider with the SCPH-7000x it's not recommended to install a mod chip(modbo 4 , Matrix infinity etc...) in them in my book , the mechacon on these are notoriousfor crashing and killing the laser coils, only protection that worked about 80% of the time was the sub-zero mod, or the resistor mod, don't use the diodes that come with chips they are useless, I stopped doing that model console because of that.

@byt3swap375 8 місяців тому

I did this mod a while ago before the QSB was available, and have been frustrated by the 128GB limit due to the missing LBA48 support on the adapter. I looked around for adapters with support for a while with LBA48 support and had no luck. However, tonight I remembered the iflash CF -> SD card adapters for replacing the mini IDE hard drives in old iPods. Ordered some tonight and am going to try to redo my slim with that. From what I understand those adapters are completely compatible with the IDE spec and should support much larger SD cards. Keeping fingers crossed, should be a fun experiment and I haven't seen anyone attempt to do this mod this way.

@solidsnakeandgrayfox Рік тому

@omarghionecuppi3194 are you limited by the usb speed?

@@solidsnakeandgrayfox The USB ports on the PS2 itself are USB 1.1, which causes stuttering when loading some cutscenes in some games when run from OPL. If a faster USB standard (2 or 3) could be used to attach a USB mass storage device with higher speeds, then that wouldn't be a limitation.

@solidsnakeandgrayfox Рік тому

@draconic5129 Рік тому

@@jbtwo7n theoretically it should be possible, I heard about a very old mod that adds back hard drive functionality for later 75000 units, though it is significantly more complicated than the mod shown here since it doesn't just tap into the IDE circuitry they had to actually rebuild and reimplement the IDE circuitry with a modchip, I believe it also required its own special loader software. Similar to the original IDE Flex cable mod this one wasn't very popular due to low availability, though it seems to be even less popular and even less well-known about then that original IDE flex cable mod for the 70000 units.

@ModzvilleUSA Рік тому

Beautiful work brotha! I manually wired one of these recently, never again lol. The flex makes it so much more reasonable. The issue with the the IDE to SD card pcbs is that they only support a max of 128gb. I've been meaning to try one of those m2 sata adapters to see if I can get a 1tb working.

@dcfuksurmom Рік тому

Yeah I was thinking that limit didn't sound right, usually the "limit" on something like that is just the highest they tested with (at least in stuff I've seen), gotta wonder if it would actually accept a higher capacity.

@ModzvilleUSA Рік тому

@@dcfuksurmom It’s a limit on the ide to Sd adapters. I’ve heard tale of sds getting corrupted. I haven’t done too much testing personally though. If you want over 128gb you might need something a bit less elegant. M2 sata ssd would be a pain to access but should fit on the bottom of the board just fine.

@mogwai_for_sale Рік тому

wow! it is unfortunate just how complex this mod is. the 128GB storage limit is definitely a big con with the sd card. i currently have two 2TB drives setup on a fat ps2 totaling about 1000 games and i couldn't be happier with the flexibility that provides. regardless, i never thought it would be possible to install a ssd or sd card adapter into a slim ps2 so this is very impressive!

@draconic5129 Рік тому

I'm not sure if that limit is actually a hard limit or is just a limit that they put on the specs page on Amazon, 128gb is a bit of a weird capacity to cap at since other cases like 2, 4, or 32GB caps are based on memory allocation or file systems but 128gb just seems like they put the largest available SD size at the current time (lots of these adopters are of an older design) and it's not actually a real limit but rather the largest available card at the time it was designed, similar to how my old Samsung phone says it only takes up to 64GB cards because there weren't larger one's available when it was made but in reality the phone can likely take up to 2TB (because of MBR partition limit, though I've only gone up to 256GB since 512 cards were and still are a bit pricey).

@RisingAnthony Рік тому

Soldering on to the resistors from the bottom side was very difficult, I ended up lifting a pad from the QSB and having to wire directly from a resistor to the IDE pin. My recommendation is to use braided bare wire to make that connection, since flux'd solder will have a very hard time bridging that small gap. That did the job for me, and though my cable management is not nearly as pretty, I was able to follow along. Thanks a lot, Tito!

@Null_Experis Рік тому

There are plenty of IDE to Sata or IDE to MSata, or IDE to M.2 boards on the market already. You can even directly hook at CF card up to the PS2, as a CF card is IDE compatible. You can even buy very small industrial Disk on Module IDE SSDs up to 16GB

One issue I had with this mod is when you're removing the SD card holder from the adapter.

Thanks! Hope more mods for 90k variants come out soon

@dcfuksurmom Рік тому

@@MachoNachoProductions AFAIK, the pins for IDE aren't there on the 90k variants, but yeah they need more love, its like people just gave up on it. We dont even have FMCB, just Fortuna and Funtuna (Fortuna with a modified FMCB). FreeDVD boot also works. I wonder if there are any modchips that can spoof a USB as an HDD, yeah it'd still be slow but it'd likely improve compatibility with games that require HDD and maybe allow loading FHDB from USB, freeing up a memory card slot.

This is Awesome!! Would you say the game compatibility list would be the same as the PS2 Fat with hard drive?

@SchiffInsel4267 Рік тому

Cool Video! I personally use SMB because I have already running a NAS and only had to connect my PS2 with a network cable and configure OPL to use the NAS, but its pretty cool what other options there are!

@AlamoOriginal Рік тому

beautiful setup, but i havent tried that kind of NAS storage, does it have any latency of sort when connected?

@bocarlsson3rd Рік тому

Really nice! Quick question: what is the adhesive you use during cable management (the one you apply with a brush)? I can't seem to find it in your amazon lists.

Ages ago, I got a V12 PS2 that had burnt laser. While I was unable to find the DVD assembly at the time, I used it with an external HDD connected via a IDE2USB adapter. When I found about this mod, I wanted to buy the custom flex cable to make the mod but I was unable to find it for sale. So, I took a 80wires IDE cable and started soldering. I did a good job, it took me almost two days to finish (yes, I took my time) but it was done. I had some laptop IDE HDDs, from 20G to 160G that I was not gonna use again and formated and installed games with WinHiip. I made HDDs for each genre and swapped when wanted to play a different type of game. The HDD I put in the original DVD tray and the advantages were that it required only 5V and was slim enough to fit. When I connected to the internet, OPL downloaded the covers and info for the games and stored them on each HDD. I still have that console. I promised myself that I will never do this mod again but it seems that (since I have another V12 PS2) I will give it a try with the new flex cable. Only this time I will use a IDE2SATA adapter because is easyest to remove a SATA connector than the old IDE 44 pin. And maybe I will disguise the HDD/SSD in a cartridge form shell ;) Beautiful cable management (mine was a mess compared).

This is a really cool video and I would like to see (obviously not requesting, just saying :P) it would be cool to have a chill cut of just the soldering and whatnot to a relaxing soundtrack.

It feels like yesterday that the slim IDE mod was created, it's so cool that it's now available to those with moderate soldering stills

Modding is getting better and better every year 😊😊😊

"Fancy wire management". 😂 That was great. I have a Matrix chip, but the wire management was a mess. 😆Great mod!

Having quite a bit of soldering experience is mandatory for this, I’ve got the experience but Wowzers. This is small, I’ll need some magnification. Well done sir, you are for sure a gaming enthusiast, nice work . Very nice fit on the micro SD card. The small led is nice, I’d want it. Very nice routing on the wires. Grade A work.
