Modding a PS2

which version of the ps2 is it the fat or slim? if its the fat i have done that one before and its easy if its the slim its a little harder
 
that makes it alot easier this guide is for the slim but is the same for the fat but a little different you need a usb thumb drive with the fmcb files on it and you need to take the front off the cd tray and make a special key to open the tray while the game is loading the driving level

I'm only going to deal with the Slim Ps2 for now on this one!

First off you need to make sure your sensors are blocked so you can keep your lid open!!There are plenty of ways to do this and tons of info on this site to help!

Things You Need:

1.007: Nightfire (found at gamecrazy used for $10.00)

2.Apache Version 1.1 (Newer Versions Will Not Work)

3.DVD Decryptor or IMGburn

4.Any .ELF file you desire (I used Cogswap)



Step 1:

Make a Backup of 007:Nightfire using DVD Decryptor:

Step 2:

Open Apache Ver. 1.1 And Load The ISO you just created by clicking File, Then Open ISO

Step 3:

Highlight the "Driving".ELF on your ride side.(This is what the game will read when a driving level is about to load"

While highlighted click "ISO TOOLS", then "Change TOC For Selected File"..............Now DO NOT CHANGE THE LBA!!!!! Change The SIZE to the EXACT size in bytes as the ELF file you wish to use(i used cogswap which is 58,160!

Step 4: Minmize Apache and Locate Your COGSWAP.ELF and Rename it to DRIVING.ELF

Step 5: Bring Apache up again and highlight driving.elf again; now while highlighted, click "ISO TOOLS" and click "Update Selected File"

Step 6:Close Apache and burn with either DVDDecryptor or IMGburn!!!!

ok heres the good part..... put the original Nightfire in your ps2 and crank it on....let it load to the main menu(if you dont have a save game on your mem card, which i didnt, it will start you right in a mission..so just press start and quit, and it will take you to the main menu!!) now, once at the main menu create a profile and yada yada lol and find where you can enter a cheat...once there enter TRACTION...to unlock the driving level (unless of course you want to play till you get there!), enter the cheat,save your profile, and return to the main menu...now swap the original for the backup, load up your profile and select the "Enemies Vanquished" level, and Voila! your ELF will now load!!!!.............

I used cogswap for my first try but ultimately ended up making another one to install the FREE MC BOOT!!

my ps2 was stolen but i still have 007 nightfire and a copy of the boot disk and probably the key i can mail them to you if that helps any
 
One warning for you! When I got my second PS2, it had a problem reading discs. I took it apart to check it out, but upon re-assembly, one of the connectors for the ribbon cable would not secure! You'll know this cable, it connects to boards on each side of the casing if you attempt to take it apart. I've dealt with this type of cable before, but the PS2 connections are the worst.
 
+1 on hddadvance.. back when San Andreas came out I had hddadvance and like a 250gb drive in the ps2, you could just download roms straight to the hard drive and have like 50 games that you'd just select from a menu to play, no modding required
 
What kind of mod is he looking for? For a soft mod all you need to do is copy someones modded memory card. I have done that with both fat and slim models.
