IDE Resurrector Origami v0.5 – Flex Cable For PS2 Slim SPCH700xx
17,50€
Make your SD Card or SATA HDD/SSD installation in PS2 Slim V12/13 (SCPH700xx) easier !
This new version is designed to facilitate the installation of SATA mods: SuperPS2 and DVD2SSD, while still maintaining compatibility with the classic IDE mod. This flex cable is made with more durable materials to better resist bending, hence its specific name: Origami.
This version of IDE Resurrector will allow you to reinstall the back plate if you’re doing the SATA mod (requires the use of capacitors with the most common adapters on the market).
Thanks to this mod, you can easily install a SATA connector on the exterior of your PS2 Slim SCPH70xxx. It requires no more modifications than installing a retroGEM: just drilling one hole and making a small notch in the chassis with a file to accommodate the installation. You’ll have the flexibility to implement the mod however you prefer: either externally mounted to the console, or as an external case using 3D printed models. Of course, you can use it externally as-is, although this is not recommended.
Version 0.7 of the flex now includes a 5V point again, eliminating the need for an additional power wire from the console when using an external SATA connector outside the case.

Warning:
- I could not be held responsible for any malfunction of your console, you alone are responsible for its installation.
- the installation is much easier compared to a wire installation, but requires an experienced soldering level, if you have already soldered a chip on a PS2 it’s OK for you! .
- This cable is only to simplify the installation, you will need a SD card reader and a micro SD card reader or SATA adapter.
- If you install the SD Card mod, you won’t be able to reinstall the back plate, but with the SATA mod, you can reattach it.
When installing an SD card adapter, the back plate of your console cannot be reinstalled due to the thickness of the adapter. However, you have several options:- Use washers with a 2mm internal diameter to prevent screws from going through the motherboard
- Install M.2 nuts that are compatible with the original screws
- Download and use our provided 3D print files for custom screws and washers
You can download here 3D print files for screws and washers.
