In this video we install a Retro Gem in both the V9 Gh-023 and V10 gh-026 revisions of the Fat Ps2.
This covers all possible boards that can can be found a fat ps2 starting with the number 5. 50001, 55000 ect.
I still recommend going through the official documentation, I mostly go over techniques and how I prefer to approach various things with the install.

Thank you for mentioning why you use leaded solder! I've heard some youtubers say they only use lead-free on the PS2 and I tried hunting around on the internet with no answers 😅 I'm just getting into soldering and modding PS2's and your videos are super helpful and inspiring to me! Stay awesome!🥳
Both great installs and very insightful video. Currently prepping my white v10 also, so this was real nice to watch.
That v10 reset point gave me a good laugh too lol.
Great job man 👏
Man thank you for posting these, I think these PS2 installs are really cool to watch.
My pleasure, thanks for watching :D
I'll never understand the people who say not to use leaded solder. It's like they never took basic chemistry and just go, "Lead is bad mmmkay. Don't use it." Excellent work man!
Just the skill set it take to solder this had me glued to the screen. I further learned why one should pay someone who fully understands what they're doing. This was really awesome to watch. Appreciate you sharing both your knowledge and skill set. You just got yourself another sub. Awesome vid
I love the ps2 and was looking forward to this video. thank you!
Excellent video!
This install was pretty challenging but managed do it. @20:25 I hope he does a revision on this flex by making that longer, it was a pain in the ass to line it up but easy to solder.
I think the zombies ate my neighbors
5:11 Have you ever used two irons to remove a component?
Interesting. It connects to those resistor arrays.
I have a PS2 slim that seems to play blind (iirc). Maybe no sound.
I was thinking of trying a gem install to bypass those resistor arrays... butttt yep. Wont work. If I have a bad one, ill have to jump / replace it.
I’ve done it but without the flex conroller + it’s a v10 version , also the screen is not booting normally to ps2 osd i dunno what’s going on? Any help?
Are you still planning on doing an iFlash SD card mod?
I'm more interested in the upcoming ide2sd
Bro what temp did you use? Something is wrong because when i solder stuff like that I never get that much bridging. Looks like your temp is too low. Maybe preheat the entire area with a hot air station at 200c or something next time.
Apparently the flex cables are very heat sensitive and they're easy to destroy if it's too hot.
@@adamatomant3381 that makes sense
When dealing with flex cables, my rule of thumb is go as low as you can. I was at 310c which is already kind of spicy for some flex cables. If you go too high those pads will come off like butter.
Fellow soldering champion here. Getcha hot air station broham
I have an Atten
Do you have online store where you offer these services?
I do send ins via email inquiries. Contact is in description or on Modzvilleusa.com
Why would you connect this to the Retrotink 5x, even temporarily? That completely defeats the point of the RetroGEM
25:00 I think you should use like 5x that amount of flux it will bridge less and the components will come off wayyyyyy easier. Try it next time you're in a similar situation!

aww why did you use a capture card, would be better if you shot it using a phone/camera to the tv instead.
