Just got PS2, need some help.

Ok I just got my PS2 yesterday, so it should be the latest version.
I have a few questions to ask.

1) What mod-chip should I get (I live in Australia.)
2) Can my PS2 play PS1 backup games in full colour, regardless of its region (NTSCU, PAL, NTSCJ)
3) Since I dont think I can get a mod-chip ordered from the internet, I want to know if there is a place to get it modded.)
4) Can PS2 games, (not rips) be burned onto cd-rs?
5) Do they have to be burnt onto a DVD-R, or DVD+W

Since Im new to the playstation 2, heres my info, best I can give:
*I got my PS2 yesterday, it HAS to be the latest version.
*I live in Australia


If you can help, me please reply.

2. If you have a multisystem tv you can play everything in color with patching.

You can get your mod and installation from here (http://www.psxmodchips.net/). He is in Australia.

Thanks for the help!

Also another question.

Will I be able to play all my PS2 copied games, in full colour (regardless of the region)??


Thanks a bunch! :p ;) :D :D

By the way, I think that my model is SCPH-50002.

Any more information on this model is appreciated.

If you're TV will support the different signals, then yes.

Sorry, there is no mod that supports the SCPH-50002 yet.

Crap this is bad... Do you guys know when a mod-chip might come out for it? It shouldnt be too long right?

Messiah 2 fw 1.31 is supposedly close to being completed.

[obawankenoba]

But, do you know where I can find more information, and do you know when this "when" is?

Thanks a lot for the help bighap.
