If you have a PAL PS2, then a Messiah chip is perfct for the R. Scond and very credible choice is Origachip.

Both will play import originals direct boot.

Any more info required - ask. And my personal advice is not to use an installer who won't tell you what modchip you've got and what it's capabilities are.

Indeed if it's a NEO2.2 you urgently need to open it up and see if this 8 wire mod has a capacitor at pin 2 - otherwise you are in danger of ruining you PS2.
