Thanks for your post BG. Lurking, i knew i could count on you for help
I have access to Nero, CDRWIN, CloneCD but CDRwin has a problem with my Liteon 48x burner so Nero might be my only option.
Cost of the modchip doesn't matter since it will pay off for itself. So you recommend Messiah 2, eh? What features does it offer that you base your recommendation on?
See, i am a PC gamer, i am thinking from that mindset. You can't play multiplayer unless you have a CD key. If they implement that in PS2, aren't we all screwed? WORSE, they come up with some technique to detect chips and your console locks up or something?
Paranoid? Maybe. But it is a $200 piece of equipment + $100 (at least) on the mod chip.. i just want to get my stuff cleared up right now.
One thing you didn't answer: is it possible to "turn off" the modchip? I remember reading an article on the Register regarding MSFT. scanning for mod chips where some XBOX hacker said that mod chips can be turned off when playing online. Is same true for PS2?
Thanks!
