A while back I got a slim PS2 from a family member. How do I check if it's modchipped? (Opening it will be a last resort)

See if you can get into some sort of configuration menu by holding down a button combination whilst powering on the console. For example, Matrix Infinity's menu combination is Triangle+Circle, whereas DMS3 and clones is simply Triangle. Just try each and every one of them to see if it works.
As a last resort, I suggest opening up the console.

Judging by the flash and config versions, it looks to me that you have a clone DMS4 such as Mars Pro or M-7, meaning its not upgradable via the ToxicOS CD. You cannot save the settings either but it will run all of your imports, backups and originals.
The clones will have a boot sequence required to play PS1 or DVD movies, so bear that in mind.
Boot sequence for PS1 games or DVD movies:
- Press Eject and insert a PS1 game or DVD movie.
- Press Eject again to withdraw the disc tray.
- Press Power twice.
So for PS2 games (no matter if they are burned or anything) I boot like any other game, but for DVD's and PS1 games I have to press power twice? Also, does the game HAVE to be in the drive when booting no matter the disk?

PS2 games do not have a boot sequence, so you can boot them normally. For PS1 and DVD movies/films, it requires pressing Power twice to switch modes.

Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.+1 -

and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses) -

There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect

Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
- fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection) -

That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.+1

I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
