Also if you are unsure of your hand there is a very good tip, detailed in the messiah install guide. Basically it involves a razor blade and some blue tack. Blue tack is a putty like substance used to hold posters and the suck to walls without sticking enough to tear. I could not find this so I used silly putty. Place the silly putty away from the chip a liitle ways and use it to hold the razor blade in between the legs of the chip. When you solder push the iron toward the blade and it will prevent solder from spilling over. If you are unsure of yourself this is worth investigating. It would also be a good idea to install the color fix described in the messiah install guide if you plan on playing import games.
