If you've got a v13 or v14 slimline, the warranty sticker will be covering one of these screws you'll have to remove it.ġ) The very first thing you'll have to do is remove the PStwo case by unscrewing the six screws on the bottom. The very first thing you'll have to do is remove the PStwo case by unscrewing the six screws on the bottom. Point C can only be easily accessed by opening the PStwo case. Point A is externally accessible through the hole which a lid tab usually goes through. This is necessary for swapping out backups/homebrew apps with the Swap Magic discs.
As long as both tabs are depressed, the PStwo will think the lid is closed. The PStwo has two tabs, one in the lower right above the power button (point A), and one in the upper left below the lid hinge (point C). You'll have to open up your PStwo and void your warranty, but otherwise, there are no cons to this method - It's simple, and most importantly, it's free! Probably the easiest way to "modify" your slimline PS2 (aka, "PStwo") is by using tape and tissue. The Tape and Tissue Mod Tutorial for Slimline PS2s If Geocities goes down for some reason or another, here's a text-only version of the tutorial - though, obviously, having pics makes it a whole lot easier to follow. Commercially sold implements like the Magic Keys or Slim tool operate via the same principle - depressing the two sensor tabs in the PStwo. The tutorial discusses how to modify the PStwo slimline (v12/v13/v14) for Swap Magic usage.
However I don’t know if it will work with third party HDD adapters and seems unnecessary as you have Swap Magic.I finally got off my lazy butt and cobbled together a makeshift webpage tutorial here ( ) with the help of images I liberally "borrowed" from various places (it's tough without a digital camera). There’s also FHDB which is the HDD version of FMCB, but it’s slower to boot and only really useful as a backup to FMCB/initial installs. Here’s a guide I found for using OPL, although note newer version(s) have been released): So now with the FMCB card inserted, on boot it will load a menu which can run homebrew such as OPL. Then you need to install FMCB, since you have swap magic you can just run the installer using that: Ideally you want the official Broadband Adapter, but I’ve heard the third party ones work fine, sans network capabilities.
Basically you need a memory card, a HDD adapter and a HDD, the latter plug into the expansion bay.
