How to Mod a PS2 Slim Silver

A modified PlayStation 2 Slim Silver (PS2 Slim Silver) video game console can play copies of legally owned games which would otherwise not be possible. The disc tray of the PS2 Slim Silver must be physically pulled out to insert the game copy, which could lead to breaking the motor powering the disc tray. You can modify the PS2 Slim Silver̵7;s disc tray with a ̶0;Slide card̶1; to disengage the motor so that the disc tray can be pulled out without incident. You will need a few household supplies and a few minutes of your time to make the Slide card, which will not damage the PS2 Slim Silver if done properly.
