Chipping PS2's

[webby]

is it hard to fit the chip into the ps2??

I have a question: can i play a patched game without getting my ps2 chipped, using "Magic Slide" instead??? Or must I get a bootchip??? Cheers

No, unless you are an expert in soldiering.

It is not hard but you need to be very careful as it is VERY easy to do it wrongly and damage your console, I wouldn't recommend it to do it yourself.


H_A_N_S_E_N you can get slide card with swap magic disks to play patched games (backups and imports as well).

The new generation chips are very reliable and stable, however you have to follow some rules, otherwise you can throw your PS2 away after a few months, even if you have the best chip in it.
Be sure that you get a high quality chip like DMS, Matrix or the Sniper, no "no-name" stuff, and don´t install it on your own, like Milosh said, unless you´re an expert in soldering and PS2 technology, use high quality CDRs and DVDRs only, like Verbatim or Sony, burn not faster than 8x, the burning speed is not only important for the PS2 but also for your patched game, if you burn at max. speed it might not work properly.

My ps2 has seriously started dying so I'm considering buying a pre-chipped ps2. how much should i expect to pay? psxservices is down for a bit so where's the best place to look? preferably somewhere that has been recommended from experience.

also, how long after it's release will we8 see an english language patch available?

i guess it costs about 270 pounds

I just found a silver ps2 with a fitted matrix chip for £199.99 which seems very reasonable to me.

www.thebarras.co.uk - Playstation 2 with Matrix infitity chip £160 - It is the newer V9/V10 consoles. However, no warranty inclined.

 

[larsson]

Bah ? No warranty ? 160 £, I guess that´s about 250 Euro, that´s what I´ve paid for my new console. But with 2 year warranty, not only for the chip but for the whole console.

 

[Zygalski]

the barras site says he doesn't chip PS2s any more.

 

[jag87]

Oh Damn!!! I dont need it anyway, HDLoader and GUI Dump is decent

 

[Marshy]

so can you just take a ps2 somewhere to get it chipped or do you have to pay for a new one?

 

[ashmufc]

Yeah, it is illegal now everybody. Here is the court case: http://www.courtservice.gov.uk/judgmentsfiles/j2680/sony-v-ball.htm

Milosh do you know where to get this equipment, has anyone used it before?
