Hey guys (& gals out there lol) I had a quick question. I'm looking to buy a modchip for my ps2 and Im planning on installing it on either my fat v5 or buy a refurb slim model. I'm was on foundmy.com and I noticed two chips were pretty inexpensive the XenoPS and the Duo3 Ultra. I know the the XenoPS is a MI clone but what about the Duo 3 Ultra? Which one would you consider the better chip? I'm considering anything ease of installation, boot reliability, support etc. I searched the forums and google and haven't found any comparisons of these two chips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just ordered the xeno only because it supports boot of RW media. I like to test and make sure it will work before Final burn of disc. ifound what changed my mind from the Duo here : http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/327112

Hope that helps. Its a great deal@ foundmy there too.

I don't think it can run toxic, only the big buck chips can do that, this is a cheap alternative. I believe you can upgrade it just like the MI but since the software is approx 1.5 yrs old, i figure it'll be at the latest rev when you get it.

Thanks for the quick replies. Is there anywhere I could get some install diagrams for the XenoPS. I have some from eurasia.com but the v5 pics have some unlettered bubbles which leaves me kinda skeptical. Besides the support for RW media is there anything the XenoPS has over the DUO3 Ultra? I'm actually more interested in using hdadvance or usbadvance or some other method of booting from the HDD that way I don't have to waste anymore media on backups lol.

Thanks Again
