Hi guys, recently got my PS2 Slim SCPH-79001 first time modded from a gaming shop and wanted to ask a few questions regarding that.


When I gave the guy my PS2 he told me about 3 modchips:


Flasher : he said it's the best and latest but not compatible with mine


M7 Ultra : he said it's the second best and will install this in mine


M7 : older version of M7 and the cheapest quality




So I naturally went with what he recommended and was compatible " M7 Ultra " and got the PS2 back after a day. Seems to have played all the backup games


except one but I'll come to that later.


I wanted to see myself which chip he had installed and when I opened the PS2 I saw Super 7 in it instead of M7 Ultra which I paid for.


Here are my queries:


1) I know M7 and Super 7 are clones of high-end chips, but is there any difference between these two in terms of quality/features/price??? I checked online


and confirmed that this is the genuine Super 7 - E17 modchip and not a fake one.


2) I got this PS2 from Canada and it says NTFC on it, so after this modchip am I able to play all region games or not???


3) What could be the cause of the 1 game which didn't start out of the 6 I tried, region issue or the disk was corrupt or modchip compatibility??? These are


the backup DVDs not original.


4) I got a few backup DVDs from a friend which seem to have many scratches on them although they all ran fine, is this safe or should I avoid using such DVDs


as they may damage the lense???


5) Can I attach a HDD to my PS2 Slim as well or is that feature only in the fat PS2???


6) What are the two USB slots at the front for??? Can I attach a USB with games/songs/movies and play them???




Any idea guys??? I have already searched the net and this forum for these questions and need further clarification, thanks in advance!

Well I can't really help you that much as it has been ages since I was in the PS2 scene but still, here goes:

1) Well Mod chips might have had differences during the PS2 era but now they are pretty much the same. And since you have confirmed it is a genuine one, you're good to go.

2) As far as I know, all mod chips make PS2 region free of sorts. You should be able to play game of all regions.

3) Disc was most likely corrupt. It happens. I still remember buying six different copies of God of war 2 and none of them worked properly. And after a month or so, I bought another copy and it worked flawlessly.

4) Scratches usually aren't that much of a threat for a lens. BUT if there's a big DEEP scratch(s), it could make the disc wobble and that could strike the lens and damage it. It is very rare though.
