I’m excited to see this project is still alive great work man.
Firstly, I cannot believe the level of detail and attention this has, it's amazing to see!After examining the PS2 boards, I decided to try to recreate the PCB as a way of learning, I'm still routing the PCB and trying to reduce its size, this is the PS2 79003 pcb, but I already have the ps2 90010 layout ready.

That's right, there is a great mind hidden in the shadows lol, who is working on incredible mods for the PS2, and one of these mods consists of a new BIOS with the OPL already integrated and some modifications that allow the removal of the Mechacon, DSP and chip network, as this board is a prototype that is used for experiments and use on a PS2 portable, I have already integrated everything into a PCB.Those alternate footprints for the BIOS chip are very interesting. Are you attempting to use newer chips? sort of like those new Dreamcast BIOS mods?
Okay yea... I've definitely been away too long... Who the heck is this @Tschicki, and what the heck does he do if this is how he does his hobbies!? I best look at some of those integrations myself! Looks like we may be on the verge of a renaissance in PS2 modding.That's right, there is a great mind hidden in the shadows lol, who is working on incredible mods for the PS2, and one of these mods consists of a new BIOS with the OPL already integrated and some modifications that allow the removal of the Mechacon, DSP and chip network, as this board is a prototype that is used for experiments and use on a PS2 portable, I have already integrated everything into a PCB.
The person responsible for the BIOS mod is nicknamed "Epaminondas".Okay yea... I've definitely been away too long...
