Hi i have started a new company that mod and repairs alsorts of consoles. I will not name it because of the advertising rule. My question is my customers will be coming with all different versions of the playstation 2 fat and slim, is there a mod chip that you could recommend that is easy to install (non-solder if possible) that is universal and is around the £35 or less marker?

cheers

solderless modchips are not worth it. most people who buy them solder it on because the connections won't stay.

stick to the top three modchips
-matrix infinity greendot
-dms4
-crystal chip 2.0

also the other two chips are not completely universal... the matrix needs different chips for different models and crystal chip only goes upto 15b it doesnt do slim or v16

please help i have only found 2 universal chips but they are too hard to install as the guide on the website is one picture it isnt very detailed and there are no guides anywhere, not even youtube...

please help

cheers

The solder less chips are crap and un-reliable.

All the solder chips are not easy to install like, say...a ps1.

The duo 3 ultra is compatible with version 1-16. As is the matrix infinity (dont need a different chip for each model...maybe your thinking of a clone?) And I believe the newest version of the crystal is as well. The duo 3 is your best bet. Cheapest, most basic.
