"Neo 4!"

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.

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

Well one thing is for sure..this topic is getting deleted tomorrow morning

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.

I found something very interesting on the following site:

let me know what you think.

I may wait for that instead.

can anyone tell me how I can check if my PS 2 is a V2 V3 V5 etc??? I know it has a model number of SCPH-30003R

Yours is the 'revision' model, which is one of the very latest models. So I *think* it is V5.

Thanks Tom

Check out that webite and let me know what you think. (Below)

Seems good, although you still need the swap trick.

Its a shame that Sony shut down Neo Technologys (the people who made neo4) because they were working on Neo4.5, which would do the same as neo4, but with only something like 12 wires. Sony shut them down though.

That chip looks good, but it is only equal to about a neo2. It *is* nice and cheap though. It depends what you want, I think you said earlier that you wanted the convienience of a non-swap mod, didn't you?

Unfortunately, my PS2 is V3. But I'm still worried about the issue of the games that are on DVD (most of the newer games being released). It would be difficult to make a back-up of these games without having a DVD re-writer, and £5 disks, or you would have to manually take stuff out (requiring a lot of knoweldge).

Can't you just look after your disks better?
