this has been gone over and i looked at those threads but i didnt find the exact answer i needed.
all thats need is:

ps2 :duh
x-port (or something similar, i need one of these anyway)
hdd
ps1 game
memory card
network adapter
memory card editor software

correct?

 

As far as I now that is all you need to do the memory card hack.

My mom's boyfriend has a friend that's like a NASA certified solderer. So I'm going to find out about getting my PS2 chipped by that guy. No boot disc

I have a friend who was a Navy solderer for 15 years and blew a PS2 soldering a chip.

Software mods > *other mods available

 

I went to that ps2-scene site and I found no tutorials or any kind of explanation for noobs. Guess I have to look harder.

 

go to exploitstation.com look around at the stickies, i forget exactly which section

i've hit a snag, i cant find an xport anywhere, these people keep trying to sell me jump drives, but i've heard bad things about them.

i did get my network adapter for 25 bucks though, using that circuit city coupon somebody posted, thanks and some kind of other discount.

 

lets see, thus far i've got about 55 bucks wrapped up in this deal. 25 for network adapter, 25 for sharkport, and 2 for OG driver. already had hdd and ps2

if i can just get it working i'll be a very happy man

 

what's an og driver?

 

driver (the game) for ps1
