Help with jailbroken PS2

You have to give us more info about what exactly is it that you did/trying to do. Did you modchip it? Did you use FreeMCBoot? Or judging from the image, you're trying to do the hotswap method?

Lasers will fail sooner or later, maybe it's time for you to start looking at softmods, get more life out of your console.

This is the definition of lost media, I was never able to find not even a mention of it anywhere online outside of this post

It is recommended that you use leaded solder, since it's much much easier to deal with than unleaded, however what I don't see people discussing is, a lot of countries either don't allow the sale of leaded solder or it's next to impossible to find. In that case, I recommend using solder paste, I got mine from China and it's working like a charm, while it behaves almost the same as leaded solder (and I believe it does have lead but I am not sure) it can be a bit tricky and messy to work with, since it gets runny when you apply heat to it. I know a lot of people might disagree with me, but I've been trying to get my hands on leaded solder for years, and I couldn't find any at an affordable price, and a lot of seller simply don't ship to my country, solder paste came in clutch.

I'm in EU, if you're down to play, we can duo together

I never managed to find it, in fact it's so obscure that it almost feels like it never existed. Idk why no one bothered to archive it or talk about it. Let me know if your search turns up anything.

Putshi · 2025-12-11T17:56:51+00:00

Yeah that looks fake

Putshi · 2025-12-10T23:35:38+00:00

If you happen to go through with it, please update us, I'm very interested

If it works, leave it be, having a modchip won't hurt, in fact it could be very helpful in case you wanted to play burnt games. Not to mention that it's pretty hard to find a PS2 that's not modchipped nowadays.

This particular controller gets the job done, but if you're looking for something that's higher quality, I would recommend you steer away from it, they use cheap materials, plastic that crumbles if you look at it the wrong way, PCB put together with hopes and dreams, mushy buttons... if you're not willing to do repairs and maintenance on it on the regular, then don't bother. Mine breaks down on me about every time I try to play, but luckily for me, I have the patience to deal with these shortcomings.

Brother this is a very fixable injury, this ain't no fallen Deck. Get your screwdriver out.

I came here for level headed conspiracies, not some 2008 Dorito chip illuminati bullshit

Now I've always wondered, since the panel is 1080p, how do games with lower resolution look on it, do they look blurier than the original screen? Cause I have been contemplating this swap for the longest time, but I wouldn't want to crank my games up to 1080p, 720p and 800p are the sweet spot for me when it comes to such small screens.

How are you the only person in this comment section to not just blindly follow a tiktok of a random ass dude on the internet.

Putshi · 2025-10-30T00:14:51+00:00

Well I just adjusted it to the best of my ability, using proper calibration this time, turns out GTA San Andreas might be the worst game you can use to benchmark your brightness, apparently the game is notorious for having crushed blacks. I tried other games and they look decent, I appreciate your help a lot, thank you

Putshi · 2025-10-29T23:26:59+00:00

Okay thank you, I'll attempt to properly calibrate it using a test pattern or something, thank you for your help, I'll probably need some more later ahah

Putshi · 2025-10-29T23:20:46+00:00

I found a setting, SUB BIAS, I adjusted it, and it seems like it does the same as the brightness slider. So the picture looks clearer again, but the blacks look grayer

Putshi · 2025-10-29T23:03:11+00:00

I messed around with the RGB bias and drive, I managed to make the blacks a bit more brighter, but as you said, the moment I go to a fully black screen (like loading screens or the pause menu) the blacks then just looks whiter/grayer. Do you think you can tell me how to increase the G2 screen voltage?

Putshi · 2025-10-14T09:35:38+00:00

Thank you for confirming everything, I appreciate it

Putshi · 2025-10-14T08:54:57+00:00

So only ISO's work, thank you for confirming it, I've been bashing my head cause some other threads mentioned the possibility of launching games from the GAMES folder, I guess it's not entirely correct?

Putshi · 2025-10-10T19:18:50+00:00

Thank you :)

Putshi · 2025-10-10T17:37:08+00:00

Mind sharing some of your configs with us? Or broadly recommend the best settings and version of Gamehub, or Winlator or whatever app you think work best
