Page 1 of wanna get ps2 chipped, where, how is it worth it any probs with doing so.
this thread has been closed

the thread says it all, i have heard a few bad things about chipping these things so i am a little unsure how safe it is.

My hairdresser got her son`s PS2 chipped, think it cost her £40 or thereabouts. No probs reported and this was about a year ago now since they had it done. I`ll ask her next time I see her for more info.

I`ve had mine chipped for nearly a year now and Had no problems whatsoever, although didn`t Sony take the chip makers to court and make the chips illegal?

Had mine chipped with a Messiah chip back in 2002 and havent had a single problem with it but I dont expect it to last much longer, I got my PS2 from France a few weeks after it was released so it is getting on now.

Hello there,Just get it done by someone who knows what they are doing and you should be fine.It`s worth paying a bit extra rather than getting someone you know down the pub to do it for £20.
The guy over at whitedog.co.uk for example has a degree in electronics and really knows his stuff.If they still do the chipping this is a good place.

Pool is the game of the Gods.

Whitedog don`t do them any more - does anyone know of any other trustwothy sites?

i could be wrong, but i think "chip" modifications are now actually illegal in this country (i could very well be wrong, but i`m sure iread it somewhere) However, you`re local computer fair will have a stall especially for this kind of thing ;)

I got my PS2 done recently.
I got his details from another web site.
I had sent my PS2 last saturday via royalmail,which he received it on tuesday.
he chipped it & sent out to me on the same day & I received it back on wednesday.
I don`t think that I would have had a better service than that.
He charges either £55 or £65 depending on the chip & £10 carriage each way.
I opted for the Matrix Infinity chip.
It plays back my old ps1 copy games ok,
but when I tried to copy PS2 "Simpsons Hit & Run" using Nero disc to disc, the PS2 comes with"insert ps1 or PS2 disc".
Now I need to find out how to make copies.And I am not Computer literate.
I can do it if I had a step by step guide for idiots !!!!.
If you need his details, then let me know & I can then supply u his email address forr you to ask him any questions that u may have.

I have now sorted the problem.
I was using DVD-RW.
But it works with DVD-R without any problems.
I was using -RW just for trials not realsing that -RW are not compatible with PS2.

can you please let me know who you used to get your PS2 chipped just email me the details, i will be extremely grateful. been looking for a chipper for the last month.
cheers Rich
