Btw you won't get anything more than you already have (with the modchip). With mechaPWN you must patch Ps2 games as masterdisc (or use the force unlock or other tricks for booting un-patched ones).
I used MechaPwn on my PAL SCPH-77008 (without modchip, only FMCB) and now it's DTL-H77001. I burned a cd with a game for the ps1 (ntsc) and it runs fine. Is it also possible to just burn a ps2-game iso n a dvd and just run it? Just I tried it and it doesn't work ...
In the end, I will have to use the MechPwn to run the burned ps1 cd's and continue use the ESR autolauncher with patched iso's dvd ps2 games?

I know this, what did I mean is there going to be any conflict if I use this on my ps2? will brick?
You should patch Ps2 ISOs as masterdisc and launch them through Ulaunchelf ot FMCB fastboot.
Or also you could enable force unlock for booting even not patched Ps2 games (but as reported in the readme, every disc will be recognized as Ps2 game, so Ps1 games and DVD video won't work anymore).

It shouldn't, but i can't guaratee you since I didn't tried it with a chipped Ps2. Also there are still some bugs on the program (it isn't 100% safe on any console).
Are you able to disable the modchip??
Disabling it shouldn't cause any conflict.
Running MechaPWN with the modchip enabled is pointless, you won't notice any difference (just the different write on the BIOS screen in case you change region/CEX to DEX).
you're right. the only difference is SCPH writing for DTL-H, but then you know how to change the writing on this screen to look like a devkit? just for curiosity
I know FMCB allow some OSDSYS customization but I never looked into it. I don't think it allows to change the BIOS label though.
You can try installing MechaPWN at your risk. In case, I suggest you to take a look at the issues (both opened and closed) on GitHub, at least the titles, looking for eventual modchip related problems.
I seems to remember it happened to someone that MechaPWN made his chipped Ps2 to not read something (DVD video maybe, I don't remember).
EDIT: Also from the Readme:
Hello guys, i tried MechaPwn on my SCPH-500004 EU and set region on DTL-500004 EU with FORCE UNLOCK ON... Ps2 games backup of any region and media works perfectly through PS2DISC of ulauncher but it work also with ESR apps without disc is patched (and work also patched disc) But I discover a method to boot PS1 disc with force unlock ON. I have Action Replay v2 (1.9) disc 2 for codes of ps1 games. When i put it on console , it detect into PS1 disc (is only disc that detect ps1 disc, i tried other original ps1 disc but detected all into ps2 disc) from osdsys and if i click icon i got black screen but if i swap the disc with other ps1 disc backup or original it show icon PS1 and load it! But only for PAL region disc... for other region i discover another trick . If i swap it with backup of AR2 PS1 disc 2.20 it will boot it and re-swap with other region games disc backup and load it! (with Y-pos issue).
I don't know why with this disc it detect it on PS1 disc but work! (disc in my psx has Sony computer INC. logo) I tried to burn this disc but it will detect as PS2 disc
this is my disc (english version) DISC 2 https://www.picclickimg.com/d/w1600/pict/393129496483_/PLAYSTATION-PS2-AR2-Action-Replay-2.jpg
With this trick i can boot all ps2 disc and all ps1 disc with swaps without to set different regions!
So not is exact: Every CD and DVD will be detected as a PS2 disc, meaning it breaks PS1 games and DVD-Video!

i believe they will be detected as ps2 blue disc games
I have Action Replay 2 disc 2 psx that is NTSC (Sony computer INC. logo) and will be detect as PS1 disc on PAL console in DTL and with force ON.
If anyone can try this, we know if it's only for my disc (AR2 psx) or is for all disc import original in PAL console.

A "stock NVM" for all PS2s (even same model) does not exist!
You have to dump your original NVM from every model you are changing it on.

Try using "Undelete" on your pendrive.
If the file's state is not "Very Good", don't trust it.
"Overwritten" will be a definitive "don't use that shit"
