What we need is Self Boot ala DC!

Don't think so. The PS2 is much more complex than the PS1, so the chip really needs to be soldered to take control of the bios and inject codes and such. The no solder mod just simulates the knife swap, so it's not really taking control of the machine.

wod_uk, Becuz the ps2 doesn't use a copyprotection scheme like the psx.

There isn't really any way to answer the OP anyway, as who knows what version ps2 is in the future?

surely we should be planning on modding the ps3 - as soon as the plans are leaked... after all, the ps2 has been succesfully conquered, soldering is only a problem because of the lack of pads and so had to be soldered direct to pins.

as long as the bios and such componants are soldered, there will always be the need for soldered modchips.

If you don't like solder, you can get a solder alternative.
