Installing PS2 Chip?

RE*AC*TOR

Just wondering from someone who has experience of installing a PS2 modchip - how difficult is it? My soldering skills are pretty low, but I'm willing to give it a go.

As I said in another post, I'm looking to play some US/Jap imports and I find the idea of Swap discs to be a pain.

Also is there any benefit of like a €50 chip over a €20 chip?

Is it a slim line ?
Or even if it is a Bulky one the method of using a Swap Magic only adds on seconds !
Safer also cause the ps2 inside is mad,soldering iron like a needle needed !
Let me know if ya need a Swap Magic !

what i would u if u really wanna do it reactor is practice on a faulty one first
its pretty hard for example for a matrix infinity if u dont have much experience

u would really need a 0,1 mm tip

no benefit other than the 50e would be upgradable i reckon but at this stage its no big deal
even a budget chip like the h2o can play everything

Are these for playing burned to dvd games? Where do you get the chips? Ebay? /

j4vier

ebay does not allow the sellin of modchips therefore no
you get them off websists like eurasia or divineo

Do you have experience doing this kind of thing j4vier?

im abit like u i guess
i modchipped my gc myself but that was relatively easy
i tried to install a matrix infinity on an old ps2 but with no luck.. my tip was too big and it was a 0.4 mm plus i wasnt too experienced either.
i wouldnt be starting really by moddin a ps2 cause it does require some skills and if u mess up good chances are that it will end up in the bin
