Building My Ultimate PS2

After seeing all the hype around modding PS2's, I really wanted to mod one to play all of my childhood games. The PS2's in Australia and New Zealand came in very limited colors, so I really wanted one of these Japan only white ones. This involved me swapping the Power Supply Unit with an AUS PS2. In addition to the PSU, I cleaned a lot of dust, replaced the dead battery and installed a hard drive with freeHDboot. This is the only tutorial that worked for me to install the freeHDboot: https://youtu.be/-9G4iJXjvRk . Older methods were just giving me a black screen. Finally, I topped it off with an aftermarket component cable to take advantage of the best quality 480p signal that the PlayStation can output.
