I am not responsible if your PS2 breaks! If you are not gentle or if you have an old PS2, your console can brake.

HOW TO DETACH THE ON/OFF RIBBON FROM THE TOP:

To completely separate the cover from the base, you need to remove the Power/Eject switch from the cover. To do this, put a flathead screwdriver or knife blade between the plastic switch and the cover (there's a tiny slot where you can fit one), then gently pry upward (away from the cover). Once it pops out of place, slide it toward the back of the cover to remove the switch. This is not necessary, but is recommended to be sure you don't ruin this fragile cable.

In this video i will show you how to modify your PS2 to play Guitar Hero 2 or 3 customs.

You can also just take the top off and swap the disk, there is no need to cut the hold in the cover, but I do recommend it because your PS2 can break easily if the cover isn't on it.

Also, using the "side tool" to play Customs can break the laser on your PS2, and it wont be able to read games.

By the way, the one dude was wearing snowboarding goggles because he thinks he's funny.

-FAQ-

Q) If I mess up, what do I do?
A) Just swap the disk without the cover on the PS2. Make sure that you have some sort of cover over the system. (like a bag or something)
Also, be careful when your cutting the hole!

Q) How do I play regular games?
A) You just put the game in and turn it on. (Put it in through the top)

Q) Can I open the disk tray?
A) Never open the disk tray without taking off the magnet. If the magnet is on when you eject the disk tray, the disk tray will get stuck.

Q) Do I need a fat/large PS2?
A) Yes

Q) What should I do with the ribbon that is connected to the On/Reset switch?
A) Don't rip it or disconnect it from the On/Reset switch. Gently remove the On/Reset switch from the top, and then cut the hole. Put it back where it was after you cut the hole.

Q) How do I make a custom disk?
A) Here are a few guides:

NOTE: These 2 links used to lead to an excellent video guide for making customs, but unfortunately the videos are unavailable because the channel is banned. :( I'm keeping the links just in case the channel is reopened someday.

The Red Octane logo comes up, but its just frozen now?

[Cm4nHC]

@MiracleGamingHD That's never happened to me. :/ I don't know what to tell you. My only guess is that you somehow messed something up when you were making the custom disk. Maybe you burned it at an incorrect speed or you changed some files around or something. Try Google.

[dannygranger3]

can you do this to any ps2 games now like the new ones like madden 11

[Cm4nHC]

@dannygranger3 This should work with any PS2 game/disk if you have the original copy and the modded copy. Some games might work without the original copy (using a different game disk) but I can't guarantee that for all games.

You guys been careful when you were using that jigsaw cutter no loosing any hands.
