  • that’s awesome!

    i remember like 8 years ago now my college roommates and i had gotten a ps2 for cheap and we were trying to mod it with cogswap so we could play custom guitar hero songs. not sure if anyone here has ever tried it, but basically you stick something in the disc tray so that the disc will spin while the disc is still accessible, and at a certain point in the boot process you have to take the spinning disc out of the ps2 and replace it with a disc loaded with modded software REALLY fast.

    we tried for hours but never got it working, so this is super cool! awesome that you don’t have to perform a physical feat of dexterity to mod your ps2 now lol

    not the commenter you asked but i use a binary search when i’m playing a modded game that is having issues to pinpoint which mod(s) cause the issue. beats launching the game over and over to test each mod by a long shot.

    a recent example: i put together a mod list for risk of rain 2 to play with some friends, but the game crashed on launch when all the mods were installed. so i disabled half the mods (in order, alphabetically or other) and tried to launch the game again - still crashing. disabled half the remaining enabled mods, test, repeated as necessary. with only a few cycles of booting the game, i was able to determine the specific mod causing a crash on startup out of my list of 50 something mods.
