Modbo 4 0 Installation Directory
The Modbo chip I will be talking about in this article is the version 5.0 with USB support. All of the information in this article and diagrams are still relevant to the Modbo 4.0, the only difference is that the Modbo 4.0 doesn’t support USB HDD’s – only internal HDD’s via a network adapter or E-sata mod. Preparation For this mod you will need the following: Tools: • Modbo 4.0/5.0 Chip • Soldering Iron with a very fine tip • 45 AWG Enamel coated/Insulated wire (For IC points) • 26 AWG Insulated wire (For 5v and Ground) • Magnifying glass/Jewelers loupe • Solder braid • Insulation tape • Hot glue gun (Optional). Now comes the hard part, we have to solder all of the wires to the correct pins. After finding which motherboard version your PS2 has and downloading the correct installation diagrams, we can proceed to install the chip.
As you can see on the diagram there are 2 pins, one named “5v” or “3.3v” and the other named “GND” these are your power and ground pins and these are what you should use your thicker 26 AWG Insulated wire for, as the power will not transfer through the thinner wire properly, the thinner wire is for your data pins which do not draw so much current. First we need to remove the sticky back from the chip if it came with it applied, if not apply the one provided or use some double-sided tape and stick the chip down in a location and orientation like the example installation picture below. Now, cut each wire to length as you solder them into place. Here is an example of how it should look when finished (It doesn’t have to be so neat but try if you can): Once you have it all soldered up and you have checked all of your solder joints, it’s time to test your soldering job and see if it works. Partially re-assemble the PS2, so that you can test it’s all functioning as it should, but don’t fully screw it back together yet!

If you experience any problems here it is most probably down to either some bad solder joints, using the wrong installation diagram or just a plain bad chip. Installing the Modbo system menu • Download the • Extract the files from the.zip file • Plug in your USB drive into your PC or connect your internal HDD internally or via an adapter • Create a folder at the root of your USB drive/HDD named “system” • Copy all the files that you extracted from the zip file into the “system” folder you just created Once the Files are on the USB drive/HDD you are ready to boot the PS2.
Booting the Modbo system for the first time Fingers crossed, if all has gone well you should be greeted with the very basic but very functional ModBo System Menu, from here you have four different options to navigate to. From left to right: • (Load PS2 games from internal or USB HDD) • • (A file browser that can launch native PS2 ELF executables) • PS2 Default Browser (The default PS2 browser you all know and love) If you are happy it’s all working, then now we need to dis-assemble it again (I know right) and secure all of your wiring into place using either electrical tape or hot glue. I would recommend using a small amount of hot glue like the install example above but do not use too much as it can cause the chips to overheat if you have smothered them in too much glue. Boot Hotkeys There is an assortment of different boot options, if you hold down certain buttons while the system boots, the console will perform different tasks.
Here is a list of the functions that I know of: • Circle – Boots ModBo Chip/system into PSX DVD Video mode. This forces the PS2 to either play PS1 games or DVD movies • Triangle – Forces the system to boot the Infinity Manager • Cross – Forces the system to bypass settings and boot to the Sony Browser with the ModBo chip enabled. • Start – This Disables the chip. Once this is done, tap the standby button to reset the system to finish disabling the Modbo chip.
To Re-enable the Modbo chip you must place the system into standby • Select – This forces a Fast boot on PS2 games. Basically skipping the startup animation and Playstaion 2 Logo on disc boot • R1 – This boots a homebrew ELF file from the first memory card (mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF) • L1 – This boots a homebrew ELF file from the hard drive if installed (hdd0:/__boot/boot.elf) • To enter the Configuration Menu, hold TRIANGLE AND CIRCLE at power on Homebrew Apps Now that you are all up and running you will probably be wanting to look at the homebrew apps made by the community.
