A PS2 mod is a modded PlayStation 2 that can greatly enhance the gameplay.

This system plays all PS1 and PS2 games, plus any burned and mounted PS2 ISO´s you create. It works perfectly, and comes with the Swap Magic DVD and CD boot discs. With a BGA design, console manufacturers can make suitable modchip connections very hard to access, by not linking them to the top or bottom layer of the multi-layer motherboard.Ĭorrection: We earlier incorrectly described the chip packaging as TSOP, it is PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack).This is a Swap Magic modded PS2, professionally done with mod chip, and enhanced top loader built into the case. The modchip developers are also concerned that Nintendo may eventually change its chip packaging technique from the current PQFP, in which the chip's metal connections are accessible around its edges, to BGA (Ball Grid Array), where the connections are hidden underneath. Other commenters suggest that this may come as no surprise to Nintendo. 'Inexperienced modders could damage Wii'Īs the old and new motherboards appear almost identical at first glance, the forum poster says, modchip installers have already begun to damage new Wii consoles by using the old installation procedure. The second photograph, on the right, compares the critical modchip attachment points on the old and new Wii motherboard layouts. The photograph above illustrates how attachment points for the popular WiiKey modchip from NeoAsic have changed. However, in the worst case, an inexperienced modder using the wrong tools or making a clumsily-applied soldering joint could overheat or melt part of the chip - destroying the console. It is unclear if shorting out these pins can permanently damage the Wii. This can render the console temporarily inoperable, until the unwanted solder bridge is removed. The modchip installer risks shorting out adjacent pins with solder. Soldering wires onto these closely spaced pins requires great skill. The pins on the chip are less than 1mm apart. A key modchip attachment point has been removed from the surface of the board, forcing modchip installers to solder modchips directly to a pin on one of the Wii's chips. The new positioning of traces on the motherboard reduces the spacing between the limited accessible contact points, making it much more difficult to solder modchip connections into place, the reports say.

The photograph below shows the points where the motherboard has been changed, making it far more difficult to install current modchips, according to the claims from a modchip installer reported on the MyDrivers.Com forum (Chinese language site). Nintendo has charged that they are used for piracy, although manufacturers and users point out that they have legitimate backup purposes.
Modchips are small circuit boards that are added to the Wii to enable users to copy games to standard disc formats. Some sources allege that the changes make it more likely the Wii could be damaged by modchip installation, we have not been able to verify this, however.
Several design changes can be seen on new Wii motherboards, in photographs that appear to support these claims. UPDATED MARCH 27: Nintendo has changed the design of its Wii games console to combat modchips, modchip developers in China have charged.
