neo4 for jap ps2 15000

[GameLOver]

I heard that neo4 is compatible with ps2 jap model 15000/TI. My ps2 is 15000 without /TI. Could anyone tell me what /TI is and my 15000 model will work with neo4.

Rememebr, if you want to buy PAL games, NEO4 won't play originals imports. That makes it difficult with the ever increasing number of DVD games. The local NEO4 distributor would answer whether or not the ordinary 15000 is good for NEO4.

I have SCPH 15000 and I moved tothe OrigaChip rather than NEO4.

Origachip is described at ####://www.madeiragames.com and they are based in Norfolk. It costs £45 I think if you fit it yourself, more if you have them do it - it's 15 wires and isn't particularly easy unless you're a soldering whizzo (and then it's not easy I'm told). It differs from NEO4 in that it plays UK original PS2 games - that's brilliant and there's no swap. With backups, I use PAL DVD Region X and do a very simple swap. Thing is, it's proven for JAP PS2. I'm very pleased with it.
