If you go with a swap method, SwapMagic discs can boot ps2 backups (cd & dvd), and BreakerPro, i believe, can boot your psx backups.

the matrix infinity or messiah 2 modchips are good chips,if you are not bothered about vioding your gaurantee,go for the soldered modchip....swapmagic can be a hassle,some of the games can be difficult to load,generally swapmagic is good for people who are bothered about messing around inside the ps2,for those that who are not...its a pain in the ass

i use messiah 2 and it loads everything,just like the games are original..ps1/ps2 games no problem
