We had some good discussion last time, lets bring it back.
Console modifications thread, what are ya modifying or installing onto your console user?
Dont really know any other stores.
3DS hacking guides can be found here on Holla Forums as they have their own general thread. Console modding guides can be found around the internet.

I am absolutely loving the Tokyo xtreme racing series, i feel bad about downloading the ISOs, so im gonna track down the originals and play them throu fmcb.
I modded my PS2 a long time ago with a chip. Maybe I should sell it
Alexander Sanchez
Depends on the modchip as well as model of the PS2, best to do some research.
Lincoln Fisher
Ill ask here as well
Are there any major differences between game versions for the PS2? other then the Agent under fire fix to stop stuff being loaded on the second level, ive noticed a lot of games on emu paradise host multiple versions of the same game.
is it worth getting the highest version?
Christopher Cook
In cases where a game is stupidly hard to find/expensive, or didn't come out where I live anyhow, I don't mind just downloading it for emulation or playing with a modded system. Better than paying out the ass on the aftermarket for a copy, and in the case of out-of-region games, it's not like they deemed where you live to have been worth the effort and potential for profit anyhow. Common games I'm more prone to just picking up a copy of if I can find them cheaply, unless it's one I'm a bit leery as to whether or not I'll like it (I do at least try to do some research before dropping money). That's not to turn this into yet another "buying vs pirating" discussion, but I do hope you're not planning to pay scalper prices on stuff, even if you want an actual copy.
On what, making the thread?
You mean differences between specific regional uploads?
Levi Harris
I meant in making the thread and putting some info and links in the OP, didnt know how to best word it.
What i mean is that here on emuparadise there are multiple versions of the same region games, an example being the GTA series. Liberty City Stories USA for example has two versions, 1.0 and 3.0 and i cant find any information regarding what the changes are, unless im not looking hard enough.
Same with Vice City and San Andreas, 1.0 and 3.0 available for the same region.
Also god no im not paying scalper prices, if i cant get them cheap ill stick to my burned ISOs.

Game revisions are pretty much always bugfixes (generally very hard to trigger hard freezes or minute stuff you won't notice) and rarely censorship, generally go ask or look around the speedrun communities for those games for details on what those differences are but more often than not you won't get any answer because there's really no obvious differences.
One particular case is one of the Tomb Raider on PS1 that has 9 revisions or something and all of them are for different promotional material included in the game.
Luke Diaz
San Andreas probably had revisions to remove Hot Coffee completely from the game.
Cameron Wilson
Well, if you're aiming to make this a recurring thing, having some actual links in the guides section (or images/screencaps, etc) would be more useful than just telling people to go find it. Hell, with the 3DS one, you could have just crosslinked to the post in the 3DS thread.
Been considering making an image in regards to the PS2, but my only experience has been with WinHIIP while I hear that HDL Dump/HDL Dumb (apparently both exist, not sure of the differences) are better, so I'm not sure how useful a WinHIIP one would be at this point.
Could possibly be different prints that have been uploaded, and in some cases those had various changes (if memory serves, the PS1 Spyro games have some differences in songs between the original and GH prints, with the GH ones properly implementing songs that for whatever reason went unused prior).
Good. Though, if you do wind up seeing something you'd like but is otherwise too expensive on average at a much lower cost, I'd say it's an acceptable purchase.
Ian Cook
Thanks for the helpful information fellas, i didnt know any of that!
We should defo make this a rare occurrence thread since the last thread was me and others linking guides and talking people into softmodding their ps2s. but i dont know how to make a guide and dont have the xbox fat modding guide that i see floating around here.
