In today's episode, we install a Retro Gem HDMI upgrade board into this SCPH70012 Slim PS2 console. Adding the Retro Gem into the PS2 was fun and I was quite surprised at how smoothly the process went... well, for most of the install! This PS2 also has a chip installed, which is a nice addition to the console with a Retro Gem HDMI upgrade.
