I do not want to have to put a modchip in and do all that because thats just way too much to do by myself unless i buy from a place where they do it for me, but even then i would have to know which modchip to buy, and i remember there was some site like modchip man or modman that was reccomended to me and you could buy a ps2 with the mod chip in it or send it to them so they could put it in ure current ps2.

Now that i explained that i dont have to go that way. I heard there is something called "swapmagic" but it doesnt seem to play ALL games just certain games and I dont want that--im not sure this is true, could anyone confirm that this is true?. I am just wondering if you guys could help me here figure this stuff out..

and what you reccomend

i would recomend a modchip if you don't know alot about rebuilding games. Swap magic allows you to play games without a modchip. You must have however a slide tool or a fliptop for your ps2.
I purchased a dms 4 pro modchip and sent it with my ps2 to a guy in california. He did an excellent job and I had my system back in a week.

Total for the chip and the install was a little over 100 dollars. A swap magic disk is about 30 to 35 I think? Like I said, you can play most games with the swap magic but I have seen posts all over this site for people that want help rebuilding games so they can play them with swap magic.

I have never had to rebuild a game, and I understand you should not need to if You have the right modchip.

ok what are some good sites where i can either buy a modded ps2 or mail them my ps2 for them to install it in, i saw a site called like modchipdude, or modchipman, or modchipguy, or something like that that sounded like a good deal and they were well respected. any help here?

http://www.modchipman.com/have-modchipman-mod-your-ps2-p-33.html

this is what im looking to get but what is the case install service and the hd connect install thing? what are those two things for?

now it has 3 options for mod chips..

dms4 lite, dms4 pro, and matrix infinity...

what are the differences in these?

On all three am i able to still play games that are not backups?

if all the chips do the same thing, which one do u recommend?

also how do i know what version my ps2 is? it says no versions 1-3, how do i know what version is mine?

THANKS!
