PS2 Modchip Question
 

Are there any modchips for PS2 which do not require ANY soldering at all but also function properly?
If yes, where can I get it.
If not, are there any other devices that will allow me to play copied games without soldering anything.

The advantages of an internal modchip are so compelling (see my reply to Cosmodk) that you should seriously consider having the PS2 chipped by a professional.

That said, a USB solution works at the cost of having additional complexity with EA protected games. Using CloneCD and a fully compatible burner most backup games will play in conjunction with Action Replay 2 as boot disk. But certain popular EA games need to be patched via a specific procedure found at ####://www.eapatcher.com

So it's soldering + trouble free backups via CloneCD versus USB Mod + more complex backups.

correct charlie

get the internal chip.its not that hard.ive got neo 2.2 and it was easst to fit the nine wires.just look up the pics in detail and there you go its easy....
