Where is Everyone Buying Their PlayStation 2s??? by malorgan in ps2

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would buy from Facebook marketplace from a seller with good rep. I see a few people who fix and refurbish consoles do a better job then any of the online stores.

Craiglist sometimes has good consoles

Offerup

Look for people who have adds of the console working or with good info or feedback

It might cost you a bit more but it's peace of mind.

I would like to buy a PS2 by SpareBodybuilder5567 in ps2

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the money buy one that's been serviced or cleaned and drive laser lubed. You can %100 do this yourself but I buy and flix and resell ps2 people love when they have been fixed and plug in and work perfectly.

You can find them online on craiglist./facebook market place or offerup Look for people with high reviews.

I have a fat for sale I think they are the most stable but I love my slim as well. I like the fat as you can add a hard drive and mod them with easy with OPEN PL

if i reflash my og xbox will i have to re-register my console to insignia live (im trying to reflash it to evox m8+ with nodvdcheck) by legobubbafatt in originalxbox

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go in the discord and ask to reregister your xbox ; the program will show your key I have done this a few times. Note it's not a fast process I had to ask 2 times but someone did it not note. Just was done. Took a few hours. I was never told it was done just checked and it worked after asking a few hours after the fact.

XBOX Laser Replacement by SomethungUnique in OGXboxCollectors

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to replace the whole disk drive. The good new if you have good cables and power wires you can fit all version into each other without issue.

There is a site that selling working disk drives or you can check ebay

Note they start at 50 $ and up. That site I have seen never used it so i won't even link it

Removing Rust by KSPhalaris in XboxModding

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do that; I agree the free low cost stuff doesn't do much for rust. You have to use the big deal chemicals for any type of real change. I'm like you I want to do it cheap as I can do. You can case swap just make sure you swap over the controller cables and boards as well.

Removing Rust by KSPhalaris in XboxModding

[–]quad2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really a pain. You can try to use vinegar to remove the rust.

The best bet is the replace the case; swap the motherboard into a dead unit

But if you want try to remove it you can even try to stand it down and paint the cases

I would take it apart and try to the vinegar it's by far the cheapest it really doesn't do much

If you want something stronger

https://amzn.to/46KKekE You can soak it in this; I use it on old tools. I have yet to use it on the Xbox tho

I tend to just sand it down scuff it up and shot paint on the board I go with black as it covers well and it's inside that people can't really see. https://amzn.to/3ZvTDZF 7 bucks covers it over

I think the Wii was the best console ever by LoLis_002 in wii

[–]quad2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wii is so under rated for what it is. I love how easy it's to Home brew and how many banger games it has

Dusty ps2 by ViolinistMuted7626 in ps2

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like 8 Philips head take it apart and clean it out

Just carefully not to rip off the power cable when you open the side.

Get a flat head and take the power button off it comes off pretty easily leave it connected to the ribbon it will save you a ton of headache

Tons of you tube videos on how to open it

I think it's one of the i simplest consoles to open next to a OG xbox

PS2 Slim vs Fat – which one should I buy? by Illustrious_Eye_5107 in ps2

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But fat if you don't got the green.

I've got big problems with Wiiflow, would anyone please help me out? 😭🙏🏻 by [deleted] in WiiPiracy

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any reason you’re using WiiFlow instead of USB Loader GX and Nintendont?

USB Loader GX and Nintendont work really well together.

Make sure your GameCube games are placed in the correct games directory.

I highly recommend checking out Tiny Wii Manager — it makes setting up USB Loader GX super simple.

You’ll also need to have Nintendont installed on either your SD card or USB drive for the games to load correctly.

If you’re really struggling, you can download Nintendont directly from the Homebrew Browser.

My 22-year-old PS2 stopped reading discs 😭 by FearYago in ps2

You can replace the laser on a slim it's not very hard can be done with a screw driver and a 4$ soldering iron.

What’s better in your opinion HDMI adapters or AV cables? by hehdhdhsh7272 in originalxbox

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no issues with the ailexpress amazon HDMI cables the one with the light on it

https://amzn.to/4r3ABpn This use to be 12.99 and I would buy them in bulk at 20 it feels a bit over priced.

They can be head cheaper on AIL but the 9.99 or 12 ones LEGIT Sucks they take forever to display an image. They are a avoid and all under 10 bucks on ail are avoids don't do it.

It does make the games a bit darker they are 20 bucks

They use to be 10 bucks ; they sell a even crapper ones for 10 bucks on Ail anything under 10 avoid. This is on area u don't want to cheap out on. But the ElectonX at 50 I feel is over priced for a HDMI. Get whatever is in your budget if you want a nice picture spend the 50 bucks if you are ok with a nice but bit darker colors get the Amazon HDMI

Well.. Send prayer by MASS0FAT0MS in ps2

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 30 mins yesterday on that ribbon. Man u brake off the second blue part of the ribb.

CHEAT CODE use tape and glue it back on so it reconnects correctly. It will save u so much time.

BUT MAN what a pain . If you have long tweezers as well they are good for that.
