Q.
Dear Sir
I have a Sony playstation 2 (SCPH-79004) with board GH-062-02 and I want to
modify it to play free games, boot on import, backups, ntsc, pal games.
I read that there are a lot of (mod)chips available (e.g. Infinity 1.88) but I
don't know the differences between them.
Please can you explain me what kind of chips are available for my board and
what are the differences between them. Can you also give me the price of
this chip and the pictures how to install the chip on the board.
Is the modification directly active when the chip is soldered on the board or must
the chip be programmed / updated by myself
(I expect that the FPGA is pogrammed)?
Regards
M. Swarzkopff

1. Yes . The modification is directly active when the chip is soldered on the board.
2. Although the FPGA is pogrammed on Most PS2 Chips and work 100% - Most can also be reprogrammed with a Different or More Suitable operating Bios with Different Features.
3. Some Modchips use a 5Volt Power Rail and Some Modchips a 3.3V Power Rail- Some use different Chips in Manufacturing and Some teams Use their own operating Bios or Lend other Team Bios for their Hardware Chips
example: Modbo mainly use
Matrix Infinity 1.83 Bios .
Matrix Infinity 1.88 Bios .
Matrix Infinity 1.91 Bios .
Matrix Infinity 1.93 Bios .
Matrix Infinity 1.99 Bios .
Toxic Bios is Flashed on Some Batches of Modbo 4.0 NEW Version.
These Variables will end up having different effects on different Model Playstation 2 in terms of Reliability . Stability . Boot Times . Extra Wear and Tear .
We are always Glad to recommend Certain Chips for Certain Model Playstation 2 Consoles after using and Testing many PS2 Chips and Ps2 Console Types.
For Your Model SCPH 79004 : We Recommend and Use:
Modbo 4.0
Modbo 750
Modbo 745
Mars Pro HD
M-Chip M7
Matrix Infinity
But our greatest Recommendation is Matrix Infinity and Second Best is Mars Pro HD and then the Modbo Chips.
We Hope this answers your Questions Clearly
Thank you . Modchip-Wizard

Q.
I tried some of my old ps1 backups on the Chipped PS2 with Modbo 4.0 and it keeps coming up 'please
insert playstation or playstation 2 disc'
It still comes up to the pink/red screen saying to insert disc. ;)
I know these work, as they do so in my modded PS1.
Sincerely
Hilbert Rupenstein
A.Your console has a different Laser than the PS1- different reading range- PS2 is known to read different brand of discs-
Also if there is scratch or fingerprint on discs you are making it hard for your console to read them-
Modbo Chips come with a Matrix Infinity 1.93 or 1.99 Infinity Manager - When turn on the console keep 'Circle' and 'Triangle' pressed down on the Sony Hand controller till the Infinity Manager displays on the TV- now make sure you have the correct settings to play PS1 Games ( and Dual Layer DVD-9 Games while you are at it ) and check any other settings that you may wish to turn on or off.
Testing your console with PS2 and PS1 copied games works Fine - Try Using "Laser" brand CD ( you can get them everywhere )
The Best Brand CD for PSOne backups was Mitsui GOLD and Pioneer Blue - But these 2 Brands do not work as well on PS2 as the reflective surface is not optimum for the Playstation 2 Laser Calibration Reading Range.
Also This PS2 Modchip Trouble Shooting Guide can come in Handy if not sure which Chip is Installed in the Playstation 2 Console:
PLAYSTATION 2 MOD-CHIP TROUBLESHOOTING:
Test Loading Revision 1
PS2 Games
Open tray, insert any PS2 Game, close tray, hold PS2 console reset button (Green lit Button) until PS2 powers off (Unit goes into standby mode and Small light turns red) then hit the PS2 console reset button once quickly to power on the unit and launch the game.
PS1 Games
Open tray, insert any PS1 Game, close tray, hold PS2 console reset button (Green lit Button) until PS2 powers off (Unit goes into standby mode and Small light turns red) then hold the PS2 console reset button about 2-3 seconds - or until the consoles eject button light turns blue- to launch the game or Tap Reset Button Twice Quickly to power on Console.
DVD Movies
Open tray, insert any DVD Movie, close tray, hold PS2 console reset button (Green lit Button) until PS2 powers off (Unit goes into standby mode and Small light turns red) then hold the PS2 console reset button about 2-3 seconds - or until the consoles eject button light turns blue to Launch the Movie or Tap Reset Button Twice Quickly to Power On The Console From Standby.
To turn Modchip Off
When Console is in standby mode and Small light turns red power on the PS2 console by holding the reset button for 3-4 seconds to power on the unit and launch the game.
If CD Games are Working and DVD Games are not ( or Vica Versa )
1. Solder is not connecting on the Modchip . Recheck your Soldering - Try checking solder points B, G, H, I.
2. Some modchips come with an onscreen ( TV ) Bios Manager like Matrix Infinity, DMS , Modbo etc. Boot to the Onscreen Manager and make certain the correct settings are enabled.
3. Most modchips can be Disabled or Disarmed ( Turned off ) for a sessions - Infinity and Modbo press and Hold "START" on Game Pad while power on Console
Try an Original DVD or CD Game in this mode - Sometimes this can help determine if its a modchip Fault. ( Trouble Shooting Guides Below.)
4. You must also Consider that Your Playstation 2 Laser is not working properly - it has a Dual Laser Eye- one for DVD and one for CD Media- Very often one can be working and the other is not- you can try calibrating the non working Laser by carefully adjusting the pot heads on the Laser Eye or Replace the Laser with a new unit.
Thanks You

Q.1 Hey- I recently got my son 2 PS2 Slim & would like to get them modded. Will this allow games to be ‘backed up’ via hard drive or will I have to ‘backup’ on my computer? I take it I can also play my bargain Asian bought PS2 games?
What other features is possible after the mod upgrade.
Model No. SCPH 79002
