lol, thanks, i wont be getting to addict for a looooooooong time now, You have posted 699 messages, ohh well as long as i help people, or ask for help when needed, ill get there some day :)
It really all depends on the version of your Ps2, versions under 4 i think it is don't read DVD+R and will ONLY read DVD-R, a modchip almost always has a susses rate of 99% were as Swap Magic is around 80% due to the fact it can't boot DVD9 games such as GT4 & GoW. Some DVD9 games can be rebuilt to work with Swap Maigc but it can be difficult.
Well the DMS4 EZI PRO is a no-solder modchip and its specs
