Is it normal that DTL-H10000 shows SCPH-10000 in version info screen?

I recently got a PS2 Test Kit DTL-H10000 from my friend.But it shows SCPH-10000 in version info screen.
It plays Japanese retail and part of my burnt disc well(Cannot confirm if they are master disc patched...).
But when I disassembled it there is no mod chip.

Is it normal that DTL-H10000 shows SCPH-10000 in version info screen?
And if it is.How can I determine that the kit is DTL series without disassembling it?

Thanks a lot.

 

Retail consoles will not boot burned discs of any sort, not even master discs. There isn't a mod that will allow any retail PlayStation 2 console of any sort to boot burned discs permanently without hardware modifications (Software like ESR doesn't count because it merely works around the hardware limitations).

From searching around this forum, it seems like there are DTL-H10000 units that report themselves as SCPH-10000 units.

I think that if you run PS2Ident on it, the MECHACON version data should be slightly different from a SCPH-10000's. The reported ROM version should be different as well, as it should report itself as a DEX unit instead of CEX.

 

Thank you so much,sp193.
I found your tool is really cool!!!!!

 

Yes, all the DTL-H10000 i've had show SCPH-10000 in the system version screen. They will play ALL region PS1 games (PAL will be offset as console is native NTSC J) and ALL region "mastered" backups and ONLY NTSC J retail PS2 games. The reason is that SCPH/DTL-10000's models were Japanese launch models, and NTSC U and PAL regions for the PS2 weren't around then. The US and Europe got SCPH/DTL-30000 launch models, so no booting pressed PS2 imports on a DTL-10000. You will need a DTL-3000X or newer.

Also,

DTL-H10000. No HDD OSD Support (Browser 2.0 won't/can't boot. No MagicGate decryption)
DTL-H3000X. No HDD OSD Support (Browser 2.0 won't/can't boot. No MagicGate decryption)
DTL-H30X0X. Possible HDD OSD Support with MagicGate dev memory card (never owned a 30X0X console or card)
DTL-H5000X. Full HDD OSD Support

..Oh, and no DVD movie playback on any DTL models..

 

DTL-H30X0X WILL work with HDD-OSD AND PSBBN, My DTL-H30101 has PSBBN 0.32 and the English version of Final Fantasy XI on it, and the Japanese Playonline Viewer. So it'll also pass DNAS on a retail game too
