For Original imports no need for DVD region X.
Also PS 1 games (original and back-ups)

You just need DVD region X for backups (CD-R's and DVD-R's).

hopefully they could release FNS version of Origa
(Final No Swap). But i think Sony is preventing them from releasing this....

10000/15000 behave the same with the OrigaChip. The TI model, it is claimed, also works with OrigaChip 1.25

Heh. It should work perfectly with the 10000 that I have then. Should be a perfect no-swap for that. The other ones should be with swap for the PS2 backups.

out of topic:
Hey charlie, just a question... is Origa also been frozen? I mean also been prohibited to sell chips like NEO 4 and Messiah?
I heard from my friend... and i'm worried, I'm planning to buy some just to make sure...
thanks!

Origa are due to make an announcement next week, I think. But Lik-Sang seem to be shipping OK and for US models too. But get some, like I did!

Yah you're right Charlie!

I'm planning to buy some...
Might not be manufactured anymore :(
These chips might go to the Auctions (Wanted lists!)!!!
And i'm also planning to install these in our locality...
he!he!he!

BTW, I'm still eyeing for the DVD-r to go down...
hope i could get it less than a $500.00 mark to exempt it from custom taxes here in our country...

Bribe the customs man!!

lol@Charlie!!! :)

maybe one of u know if there is areseller in isreal
for the origa chip ?

Gunblade discovered that there isn't. But order it from Lik-Sang (like I've just done) and get anyone who can do Neo2.2 to do the OrigaChip with the diagrams on the site.

I di my v1 Us ps2 and I think its better than the neo2.2 Next Im going for the neo4 along with the origa for hopefully a total non swap Just one problem though I cant seem to get the mother daughter boards to sepparate If anyone has a sugestion please respond

congrats brihoo2k!
