Using the disc tray with PS2 flip-tops
 

I got a flip top for my PS2 to play imports a few months ago. Is there any way to mod the flip top so that I can use the disc tray too? I would like for the tray to be able to open for when I play PSX games so I can change the settings for it and for PSX games that are multi disc and don't let you save between discs.

Er, where did you get yours? Every flip-top I've seen has a slot that allows the tray to open at any time.

I'm not sure about modifying the one you have besides like a hammer and chisel, but a "ghetto" technique you could use to fix the problem is to hit the open button and then shut it really quickly.

I got mine from modmonster.com. If I try to open the disc tray, it'll come out about a half inch and stop.

Could always pop it open and take a glance. Might be a screw that's too long or some part in the way.

EDIT: Gech's got the right idea.

Yep. You should be able to use the tray, with a fliptop. If you cannot, then it's either a bad fliptop, or you have installation issues.

it would be a rip off if u were to get a flip top without the access to the tray. I only use the top for backup and import games and use the tray regularly as always.
