Im going to MOD my PS2

[DjSwift]

I can solder.
Its just I have never done one before. I have a hot air station which i use for repairing phones etc.

I was wondering if there are any good tutorials that show a step by step of what is there to be done.

I have searched this forum before i posted but couldnt really find anything.

Also My choice and which i have been recommened is the Messiah 2 pro.

There is a site called www.baldbouncer.co.uk where there are 2 types of messiah chips.

One is Messiah 2 V1.33b and the other is Messiah 2 PRO

Whats the difference?? and which one should I ideally go for ?

I also checked my PS2 version : SCPH 50003

According to http://www.richspsxparts.com/version.html
Its not even there?

Maybe their site is not updated?

What version is my PS2... Version 10 ??

You have a version 9 or 10 mate.

For these consoles I've used the Messiah 2 V1.33B from Baldbouncer himself. Works just fine.

The Messiah 2 V1.33b
Is actually the Messiah 2 Pro Version 1.33b
For versions 9 and 10
Has 24 wires that have to be installed regardless of version


The Messiah 2 Pro Version 2.0 (the latest chip)
16 Wires to install depending on your version
up to 24 if I am not mistaken for other version
(the boot nethod is slightly different also you perform a doulbe tap for dvd movies and psone like the original messiah chip if I am not mistaken)

Also Hey Spagboll good to see you its been a while
:wavey:

Either should work great the only real difference is the boot method and number of wires.

I have not installed a version 2 pro yet but the chip should work just fine.

"I take i have a version 9 since there is o "3d" marked where the model number is about. It just says "D""

What happens when you turn it on & select 'version' on the screen? As that reads the bios marker from the mainboard, which is the best way to know what you have.

ah i didnt know that..
I have not purchased any chips yet..

As people now tellng me some matrix ort some other..

I knew id get confused.

I juts need a chip, that boots direct and plays all :D:D

matrix infinity is the new king of ps2 modchip

[dragonmaster]

Messiah... DUO... magic.... Matrix... DMS.... all are fine.. but magic V kinda fishy... with the booting when you don't install it correctly... DUO 2 have the least to into... Neo chip nice too... i believe all chip boots them fine... some like DMS or Matrix of that kind.. because one is upgradable throught disc.. and also play media... AVI.. etc...

[DjSwift]

is it lumbie?

Well i shall install that then :D
