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.

im just lookin at alternative methods where I wouldn't have to chip my console. I heard abt the Neo 4.5, but as its was closed down, there is a patch being made so that only 11 wires require soldering. I will maybe try this plug mod, even tho it requires a swap trick. I can'k risk buying expensive games and they getting scratched, obviously I look after my games, but if im not there and sum1 decides to play my console or borrow my games, theres nothing I can do.

in USA they make a program that can copy DVD`s without the need 4 a DVD-R writer. u just need a fairly good CD-RW.

m8 of mine, an electronics bloke, reckons itis possible to copy DVD`s with just a CD-R drive, with the right software.

u can get an s-box which plugs into the usb port on ur ps2. it does require a single wire 2 b soldered inside however. it does require an AR 4 the swap trick though.

I think they cost bout £20 something like that. it can only play ps2 blue disc back-ups and psx back-ups, no imports or ne sort.

Neo 4.5 was a myth, basically Paul and some others found that by soldering both a neo 4 and an origa to the same board it would direct boot everything. They then released this info in a bid to combat messiah.

Neo 4.5 never actually existed though, as the origa brothers refused to supply neo tech with the chips to use for it (plus it would be about 35 wires)

As for neo 4 don't even go there! this chip only direct boots cdr, which is pointless as u have about 25% of the actual game on cdr as aposed to dvd and the neo 4 requires you to shear away part of your ps2 to install wires...

Try and find a messiah if u want imports, otherwise think about origa if u dont mind disc swap as origa plays imports and everything after u use swap trick.
