The PS2 Phat will forever be an iconic system. Despite its age, there is still a thriving community devoting time to Sony’s second console! It is easy enough to jump into the homebrew and backup scene by soft-modding your system. In this video, I will show you my preferred method of soft modding a PS2 Phat! As an added bonus, I will also show you how to run exFAT drives with OPL.
