- Year 2000
- Models SCPH-10000
- Chassis A
- Japanese launch revision
- Incomplete BIOS (no DVD player); DVD player can be installed onto a memory card using an update disc
- Buggy DVD player (version 1.00) that allows region free (but 60 Hz only) playback using some trick as well as RGB-output during DVD-playback, which was disabled on later versions
- Later production models might come with an updated BIOS that blocks installation and startup of DVD player 1.00, as well as an updated MechaCon, just like GH-003 does
GH-003

- Year 2000
- Models SCPH-15000, SCPH-18000 (besides GH-008)
- Chassis A (in SCPH-15000), A+ (in SCPH-18000)
- In SCPH-15000, DVD player still needs to be installed first (in a newer, partially fixed version, that seemingly can also be used on SCPH-10000), but BIOS disallows use of the buggy version 1.00
- In SCPH-18000, DVD player is preinstalled
- Updated MechaCon for speedier tray opening/closing

- This board and every later fat board uses different driver ICs (LA6508 and LB11971) for the drive mechanism; the LA6508 is known for dying/shorting out (possibly due to overheating) and sometimes additionaly killing the laser with it

- Year 2004 - 2005
- Models DESR-5500, DESR-7500, DESR-5700, DESR-7700
- Chassis X
- Both PSX motherboards have a total of 72 MB RDRAM, unlike normal PS2s' 32 MB
- Unlike XPD-001, this board has several daughter boards:
- One large daughter board (XRC-005) with analog video interfaces as well as the Ethernet transceiver
- One smaller daughter board (XCP-005) with the SPEED chip, an unknown Pioneer chip (PE7003D) and an Altera FPGA (with its ROM and a programming header)
- A similarily named Pioneer chip (PE7005A) is found in some Pioneer DVR (DVR-920H-S), where it is labelled as an I/O expander in the service manual
- DESR-7500 and DESR-7700 also have an additional third daugher board on the opposite side of the main board, which contains the iLink-interface controller
- DESR-5500 and DESR-5700 (the XPD-005 consoles that don't have iLink) instead have a small pcb (XDI-002) with few components soldered with two wires directly to the motherboard
- This board also contains 2 LEDs connected to DVRP which are invisible from the outside but light up when the console is powered up. It is not known what is indicated by these LEDs.
