MODBO 5.0 - PS2 Modchip

MODBO 5.0 is an new generation of PS2 MOD chip that integrates a USB boot menu so you can play games from usb hard drive or usb memory stick!

Even better, the install is exactly the same as the Modbo 4.0, so if you want to upgrade, you can just replace the modchip without needing to solder all the connections to the ps2 motherboard again.

You can also easily disable the usb boot option and use the modbo 5.0 in the same way as you have always used your modbo 4.0.

description off http://www.techsick.com/shop/ModBo-5...-p-161606.html as markers site lacked one.

is this real ? why not with 1.93 FW

no idea just come across it, is very much possible to boot usb and the menu files are stored on usb so just slight on chip memory for entrys on usb boot. different crew possible? different chipset after all. who nos maybe just hadnt change the image in the boot file as 1.93 is last release and no one is sure of wat 1.99 even provides as extra features.
still interesting to see tho, if anyone installs let use no.
