best modchip??

**SnowSurfer** · 05-31-2005,05:17 PM

I did a search for best modchip but I couldnt really find anything, I was planning on getting a dms ezi but after reading about the problems with them, that is a no go.

my ps2 is a v5 (i believe)

the number on the back is 30001 R and the serial number starts with U3

i don't mind soldering but I would like something that isnt crap. Thanks for the help

Well a matrix infinity is a good choice. I also think the crystal chip is good too. They are excellent choices. I hope this helps.

You're joking right ? No, no I won't list the threads where people discussed about this subject, but I am sure there are MORE than 10 of these. Seems you should do your homework more carefully next time...

Back to the subject: it all depends on your needs and money.

Infinity, Crystal, O2, DMS, Ripper chips offer quite a lot, but they usually cost more.
Duo2, MXL4, Subzero and others cost less, but miss some (extra) features.

The cheapest *but not the easiest* solution is the "free" iCE code... I suggest you to avoid from clones and from unknown chips they cost more in the end than it seems for the first time.

Get the Crystal Chip. It'll suite you more than you need. You need to solder but if you can't send it to a professional. Do not buy the ezi, you might end up messing up the tiny pins with that huge clip like many others here.

If its just back-ups you want to play then go with the Duo2SE, it is VERY easy to install and is cheap as hell!

But where ever you buy it make sure you tell them you want the SE version as there are basically very little to no original Duo2 chips about, they are mostly clones now, so tell them you want a Duo2SE.

which one would allow me to install a harddrive and boot games off that??

**messiahfan2003** · 05-31-2005,08:47 PM

They all will but the high end ones can let you boot the software on the mc without the exploit. The infinity one can also load files on the hdd. You can install an hdd with no modchip actually but I hope this helps.

**messiahfan2003** · 05-31-2005,08:51 PM

BTW, the more high end chips can automatically boot stuff without needing any button combos.

between the matrix infinity and the crystal which would be better or are they about the same??
