modchip for V9 with DEV2

**patroclus02** · 09-23-2005,05:52 AM

Hello,
I want to get a modchip for a V9, that supports DEV2, because I might use HDD soon, and this way I don't need extra software.
I only know DMS that supports DEV2.
Appart from installing the chip, and do the romeo fix to the LA (I suppose to lower voltage), do I need to do anything else??

Modbo modchip announces that it has CD Lens Safe and some way to keep the IC cool enough. Does DMS have this things?? I got a bit confused with this.

Thank you!!

DONT buy the MODBO! Its a clone, bad bad bad bad bad bad!!

You should get a Matrix Infinity Original!
Will cost you about $45 but it has what u want. Check these forums, most ppl recommend the MI over DMS. Bye

MI is better than DMS for something in special??
It does not support DEV2 as far as I know, does it?

You will need to do the romeo mod on your V9 .... regardless of what a modchip advertises.

On the V9/V10, the modchip only has to crash the mechacon once to ruin your PS2 laser unit. The romeo mod is cheap insurance against this particular failure mode.

MI does has Dev2 feature with it's latest 1.54 firmware.

I had a look at installation diagrams, and it seems a bit more difficult to solder MI than DMS. I see about 3 soldering points in a IC tiny legs in MI instalations, that are not in DMS. These soldering points seem quite hard...
Does MI really worth it? I know people often preffer it, but... why exactly?

You can use the dms points. There are alt points. If you cant seem to solder it have a pro do it. I would recommend it for a person who wants a mod with lots of features plus dev 2 that is reliable. Plus its very popular. The romeo mod is highly recommended.

I read that Matrix Infinity is a 3rd generation chip while DMS4 is a 4th. I also read that DMS has a backup bios that loads if the other one is corrupted.. this seems usefull in flash failures... does Matrix Infinity have this?? I also read that it has less memory (64Kb)

what about O2 mod?
Realy, I'm uncretain about them...

Matrix Infinity, many people here recomend it.
DMS4, has more memory and backup bios
O2 mod, seem to be a greta modchip too, with many software...

did someone tried O2??

wait...I just ordered a Duo2 SE for my v9, do I have to do the romeo mod too? I just play backup games, nothing fancy.
