Im going crazy real newbie chip help ;)

[bobba_fat]

please help me im really new to this...

I live in sweden and i was thinking of getting a ps2 chip for the slim. The way i see it there seems to be only 2 chips worth my attention. The Crystal and Matrix.
Now i was wondering i have backup games of ps1/2 im not into homebrewing and/or hacking. I just want to watch dvd movie, play region free and so on.

Now which one do you recomend?

I have no soldering skills and it cost me about 150$ to get it done, i live in sweden and im poor. So i wanted to do it myself so if you guys can help anyway very simple guidance would be very appreciated.

1. What chip do i need?
2. where can i get it?(links)
3. Can i use a harddrive instead? What harddriv is compatible with my ps2? i have the pal vers. 7 i think.

thank you for your time

both them chips will do want and if u have a slim ps2 you dont have a v7 you have a v12+

If you have no soldering skills, DON'T do it yourself. You WILL end up with a broken machine.

Send the machine to someone who knows what they are doing.

And use the Matrix Infinity chip. Crystal chips isn't as good quality at the Matrix chips.

Thanks i was just thinking some say swap magic with hd-loader but i read around and it said it sucked, sortaof . OK!

Xeno PS is that chip ok i was thinking of ordering from Divineo.
And about playing online is that ok with anycards or?

So anyways now im thinking of the matrix or dms... which one,,, listen i really dont care as long as it will fix back up ps2,dvd and ps1 games im satisfied... but the main thing is, its so expensive in swe, to fix ps2 about 100$ at least,, thats a bit to much dont you think???

Thanks 4 all help will be much appreciated.
