I can bear the prospect of their forum difficulties with extreme fortitude. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go giggle somewhere.

Then I shall have to retroactively giggle again.
For clarification, I once visited the Sonic section of those forums.

I could really do with a large ham and cheese sandwich right about now

Later model slims can't be softmodded.
It was the last model, or something like that...I can't remember the model number and I've never had to worry about it anyway
Installing a modchip in any PS2 is no easy task, believe me

the 7 Series slims are softmoddable and look more like the classic PS2 the 9 series which looks almost nothing like the classic ps2 cannot be softmodded.Later model slims can't be softmodded.

Also the last series of the original ps2's cannot be soft modded

Really? I had heard it was compatible with all fat PS2s. The more you know~!

Yea they closed the DVD Playback Driver exploit in that too I think the last generation of Fat PS2 came out after the 7 Series Slim and thats why it got the Fix also.Really? I had heard it was compatible with all fat PS2s. The more you know~!
How the exploit worked was the original 1st generation Japanese PS2's always came with a memory card as the PS2 was designed at that time to load the DVD Player Driver off the memory card rather than in the PS2 itself, Sony fixed this before release elsewhere (and as such you never got a free memory card) and the 2nd Gen Japanese PS2's however they never stopped the PS2 from looking at the memory card at boot up for the Driver in the PS2's themselves(AKA It always checked the memory card before it checked itself). Sony Dun Goofed with that one and it was later exploited into as we know now "Free MC Boot"

Ahh, that makes sense. I figured they stopped manufacturing new models of the fat PS2s as soon as the slims were released.
