Soldering sucks
So, I got one of these PS2 modchip deals. Friends always call me to solder their ---- b/c I always do such a nice job, so I figured installing a couple chips on a Playstation would be cake. Nothing could be further from the truth. Long story short, I finally got it installed after about 4hrs of work. Had to redo most of the solders. Anywho, heres some pics. (this is the slim PS2 btw)

LOL, PS2 pwnt. How would someone reverse engineer a playstation like that for all those wires, espicially for almost zero gain. A source code or design plan must have leaked out.
Very nice soldering, what sort of tool did you use for things that precise, what sort of desoldering tool did you use aswell, the suction type or the braid?

So far I've tested the following
Rumble Wresting - half naked chicks wrestling. I bet its cool when their ***** touch.
Initial D - for the JDM fanboy in all of us.
About to test out Kaido Battle which is like a semi-ricey Japanese racing/drifting game.
P.S. the above post is a joke, I would never download games off the internet, because its illegal.

Very nice, two of my friends have burned at least 3 ps2s by trying to mod them; whenever they would screw up on one they'd go to Walmart and buy another... then return the broken one in the packaging. After their experience, I was pretty happy when they just got me the swap magic disks and a slide card. Works perfect for me, and no modding. :P I think the 17 wire ps2 mod chips are about the most complicated i've seen.
