In this video we install a Retro Gem in both the V9 Gh-023 and V10 gh-026 revisions of the Fat Ps2.
This covers all possible boards that can can be found a fat ps2 starting with the number 5. 50001, 55000 ect.
I still recommend going through the official documentation, I mostly go over techniques and how I prefer to approach various things with the install.
