Good luck. . .

IIRC correctly (dont know since Ive had mine modded for awhile) - they no longer sell certain mod chips. . .some legal bullshit. . .

Anyway - you can no doubt find dealers with older chips to chip your PS2. . .just do a search for PS2 Modders - should find one close to you that you can send your system to.

After that definitely get the PS2 Adapter and a Hard Drive. . .rip games, slap them on HD, play from HD with almost no load time ever. . .oh and obviously DRE's are non-existent.
