Do think its a good thing to chip your PS2 or a bad thing?
Also can someone tell me the actual details of how they work, the one i mainly want to know about is the Sbox external chip box, and what boot and other software or hardware you need.

Please, my name is ( . )Juicy Melons( . ) not just Juicy Melons. Anywho's, this chip sounds very convincing but i don't think i will ever be convinced to get my PS2 chipped. Well, has anyone else heard that the Dreamcast does not need to be chipped? My friends, they are twins, have a Playstation and a dreamcast which are both able to play chipped games. At the moment though, their PS2 is down at the Sony factory after it stopped playing all of the games that they own. Well anyway, i think my name fits nicely with C4 new program, I want bigger boobs.

well this thread is full of mindless spam don't think newbies?
c'mon you can do better than this. Produce a topic which will grant you some respect at least.
whats the point of a post on chipping if most people on here HATE piracy on here...
do you guys not realise why prices of games are so high these days?
get your act together.

So this is the mentality of the people that are being attracted to the forums now. Somebody who thinks it's good that the Dreamcast failed due to the fact that it could easily be pirated.
Go away.

The reason games get copied is because games on the whole are expensive. Fair enough, but these games are expensive because game companies have to make up for the loss they get on copied games.
I used to get copied games for my old console, but thankfully stopped after a couple of titles. This was because the games I had copied where weaker, inferior versions of the titles they where copied from. One game was in black and white; another game had a tendency to crash quite often, and so on.
I now hate copied games, and will never fall to the temptation of that smaller price tag. I will gladly pay £40 for a game just so long as it keeps me entertained, and is generally worth the price. It’s a shame that I and other people here who have to work for a living, have to make up for cheap skates can't be bothered to save up a bit of money.

Perhaps SR are trying to tell Buggy something like, 'if you don't stop talking about chipping your PS2, you'll be banned like that moron matt2002.'

I would ENCOURAGE any serious gamers to get their console chipped...
Now, first off, I say this to allow you to play IMPORT games- NOT COPIES. Copies cost the industry money, and seeing how the developers who actually make games get next to nothing of the profits, many are already in financial trouble.
However, chipping as a means to import is something that anybody really serious about gaming should do. Not only do you get games early, but they often run faster and full screen (ESPECIALLY when considerring how poor PS2 PAL conversions tend to be!). Just look at Devil May Cry (or any of Capcom's games)- it has huge borders, runs slowly and the gap between American and European releases was not small enough to justify this.
In addition (and this is where I really love importing), you get to play games that never come out over here. And that's a lot more than you might think. Personally, I love Japanese style Mecha games... most of which we never see over here (is ZOE the only one?!).
And if, like me, you tend to go to America often or know people there, the games are far cheaper to buy there (although to buy through an importer will cost a fair bit).
If I had the money, I'd have bought a GC from Japan 6 months ago and be playing all the games that Ninties are raving about having just got now (as well as many not scheduled for release until 6 months time). Then I'd get it chicpped when a universal chip came out, and then I could play games from America, Japan or here. Oh, and by the virtue that the console uses the small discs (CDs don't actually fit into it), then you can't play copies anyway...
