Im thinking of having Neo 4 fitted to my PS 2, but im getting estimates of £135 anyone know where I can get it done cheaper??

Also whats everyone views on the Neo 4, I know a Neo 2.2 can be fitted cheaper, but I don'tlike the idea of Disc swapping.

This topic is stictly for back ups, so it should'nt be taken off.

I DO NOT in anyway endorse piracy or copied software.

This Messiah chip would cost around £120 on some websites that I found, which is similar to the prices I got for the Neo 4.

My GT3 was scratched by my lil cousins whilst I werent @ home. so nothing I could do abt it really.

if u do ne where, prob online is best. local places just seem 2 rip ppl off cause there is no where else.

online places will collect ur ps2 via courrier, and most of them r decent places. some market jobs u dont know.

some dude gets hold of chips, gets diagrams, thinks i do it meself. easy money.

thing is neo4 uses 44 wires, so unless ur handy with a soldering iron, dont bother.

so if ur local market guy does it. check him out man, c if he`s done ne1 else`s ps2 + check ur not getting ripped off.

i would bet that in the coming year, there`ll b chips everywhere, online wise i mean. as i said earlier backdoor asian companies will copy channeltech`s chips and sell em to online traders.

just keep ur eye out 4 em

ok ppl, although the messiah has been stopped, a few companies r going copy it. and release it over here. these r backdoor companies so i doubt sony will b able 2 do nowt 2 stop em.

the yanks have will soon have the messiah copy, they will pay approx $89 so i guess over here its gonna b around the same figure

mod-chip.net is getting messiah copy and neostar mod chip which is a copy of the neo4. does the same thing.

i guess in time we will get these mod-chips aswell, as there seem 2 b a few companies that would sell them.

ne way go there have a look, mod-chip.net

My dad said he can install Neo 2 for me for FREE! He has the blank chips, and the chip programmer, and he knows how to chip it as he's an expert solderer (the blank chips you can use for other things aswell, and they only cost about 50p. The programmer has to be made manually). But I don't want to risk my PS2 either. And that DVD thing really puts me off. I also have no real reason to chip it.

I can't have Neo4 installed though, as it is a non-standard chip.

You do know that for games that are on DVDs (the silver bottom) such as GT3, you will not be able to copy without having a DVD writer. You would also need to have blank DVDs at a fiver each. The only way around this is to cut stuff out (like deleated all the FMVs in MGS2) to create space.

I advise that you just look after your games better!

I was quoted £270 for an already chipped PS 2, which was the basic package you can buy in Shops at £199
