I managed to get this working! - i tried another bootrom from a fresh 50k series
Now have 70k series slim that can boot from FHDB over IDE + also a fully working dvd drive
here is printout from working combination console if anyone was following this:
Log file generated by Playstation 2 Ident...
I know - that's why I chose that BOOTROM to re-enable FHDB
Is it not possible to make changes to Mechacon to restore dvd function?
If not, what about moving Mechacon controller bga chip from 50k also?
Hello there guys!
I have a PS2 slim 70000 series that I have successfully restored the ide bus on
I then moved on to replaced the bios BOOTROM chip with one taken from a 50000 series
This resulted in a 70000 series slim that can boot FHDB - no modchip, no memory card, just straight into FHDB...
