Thanks for the reply!
Yep, my kids use it most, but I play at times.
DMS - Is there any validity to their claim of it being a more 'PS2-friendly' chip? Outside of unused features, are the boot procedures less intuitive than those of other direct boot modchips?
Messiah - Just to be extra sure (since it's still my #1 choice), are the 1.33's okay? Was the burnt board issue limited only to the 1.31's or is the jury still out on the 1.33?\
Smartchip - Any experience with it?
Magic V 50k - Would you mind detailing the feature/reliability/performance differences between it and the M2 v1.33b? An extra $40 (or whatever the price diff is) doesn't mean nearly as much to me as just having the absolute best modchip installed. thanks for bringing this chip to my attention, I'll try to get a little more background on it.
