Determine Your PS2 Motherboard Version

Before you order your modchip, you need to know what version motherboard your PS2 console has. Sometimes, you can determine your version by the model number (the "SCPH-" number on the back of your console), or by other external characteristics of your console, as noted below. However, the only way to be 100% sure of your version is to open up your console and compare the board to our installation diagrams. Click on the links below to compare your board to our diagrams:
