Just got a free PS2, controller, memory card and cords

[STICH666]

My neighbor just came over and gave me this.

 

All they told me the thing won't turn on.

Oh wow these people were retarded. It works fine. They had the switch turned off.

Giving it back (or at least telling them) is the right thing to do- but you already know that, right?

[wccw mark]

cool.use free mcboot and soft mod that bad boy!!

[STICH666]

I gave it to my friend. He needed one and anyway it's seals were broken and there was no faceplate on the disk tray. They got a PS3 recently anyway so having both would be pointless.

why would having both be pointless?

[STICH666]

They're not gamers. My neighbor's kids are 8 and 6.

WCCW Mark, THANK you for mentioning the Mcboot program! I had no idea you could soft-mod a PS2! Woot!

[STICH666]

What are the risks of completely destroying your PS2?

[2600Lives]

I managed to do it tonight. Pretty complex, really, but doable. There's little chance of mucking with the actual hardware, though, as it's just a file you put onto the memory card.

[STICH666]

Ah. I might just buy my cousin's PS2 and do it to his. Can you play imports with mcboot?

[2600Lives]

From what I'm reading, yes, you can. You may have to make a copy of it and patch the image with a program, though. Not sure, as I don't have any PS2 copies or imports to try it with. Still, would RULE to have a copy of Darkstalkers Collection.

Awww I wanted to play it directly off the disk. I was gonna import Initial D Special Stage.

yeah,like 2600lives says,you can play imports with the freeboot,just take your original import game,make an iso from it with a program like cd2iso,patch the iso with esr disc patcher,burn it to a dvd-r,and play it on the soft modded ps2.i did it with my sega ages games i imported,and with fire pro wrestling z.you can do that to back up any of your ps2 games,import or domestic.
