ps2fliptop.com ARE THE BEST !!!!! I ordered my fliptop Monday morning and received it Tuesday afternoon VIA fed-ex (I used there regular shipping method) WOW!!! I would definitely buy from them again. A+++++ Rating
ps2fliptop.com ships from either California or Minnesota (I think or somewhere in Midwest). It depends on which shipping destination is closest to their warehouses. I think the reason you got it next day with GROUND shipping is you either live in CA or MN. Otherwise, normally GROUND shipping that ship from ps2fliptop.com takes 2-3 days. If you live in the West coast (or, wa, ..) and Midwest (ia, nd, il, wi,..) takes 2 days to delivery, for East coast (ny, fl, tx) usually 3 days delivery
Hi everyone.. I recently purchased the flip top for the slimmer ps2, while installing it, a small black spring came out, one end stops very short, the other end moves out into a long skinny peice of a metal, with a little squiggle at the end, i was just wondering where this goes, because it is the final peice that i have yet to reinstall.. I hope someone knows where to put this, i appreciate any help i can get, thanks again
Check the PSTwo slim installation first, maybe this will help http://ebayhotbuy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5399#5399
About $45 for everything (CD 3.3 Version and Fliptop)... same day shipping if you order before 2pm pst.(CAL)
sucks havin a scph-50001...u gotta modify a normal flip top n i dont wanna screw it up..anyone know where to get one thats already modded to fit the v9 scph-50001?
Having some trouble with my flip top cover. I have a v.4 ps2 which has been working well for some time, but now once some discs the discs make horrible noises and do not read even originals that worked before. I trying to determine how to remedy this situation or ditch the flip top for a no solder mod chip. Any advise?
That would be a very bad idea. The problem is not your fliptop, its either the media your using or your laser. You could try cleaning the laser.
My fliptops kinda funny actually.. when you first close it, the disc spins and makes that rubbing sound, and if you press on certain spots lightly itll stop doing it.. no discs damaged or anything, its just an edge or the lid not holding the disc proper.. *shrug* just press around lightly on the top, see if thats your issue.. if it is, its possible the fliptop is damaged.. not "bad" damaged, but warped from mailing..
HMM, thank you both for your responses. First, I know its not the media since originals don't work either. I find the idea of a warped or iffy flip top to be the problem. I think for now I'll take the whole thing apart and put it back together to see if it helps. Thank you all.
you don't have to take it all apart, just take the white circular piece out of the top and place it on the disc (with the top open).
Brilliant Sly, worked famously, do I need to keep it like that forever now or is there some way to get it back to normal - maybe a new flip top? Thank you again!
try adjusting the screws on your fliptop. The white piece is either too close or too far away from the discs when the lid is closed.
If I use DVD Decrypter to burn DVD games. (which ,most ps2 games are now, right?) Then use Flip top and swap magic am I good to go? Also....will EA Sports games burn and play normal? Thanks!
yes, thats all you need (nothing special is needed for ea games either). The only time you have to patch is if you wan't to play your backup online.
Great! Let me ask just one more question. Will the DVD Decrypter also read/write the CD-Rom games and burn them aswell? Or do I use another program for that? Is there a free download for such a program on here? thanks!
I was wondering where is a good place to buy a dvd burner? Im not looking for an exspensive one. I'll only be using it for ps2 games. Dont want to pay an arm and a leg for one.. Ya know? ANy help would be great! Thanks again! Great site!!!!!!!
