What is the BEST modchip and why

I am currently a slide card/swap magic user, have managed to copy successfully all attempted games, just needed to learn a few things well on the way now. next step may be to get a modchip

so would like to know

1. which is best
2. why its the best
3. and apart from the annoying swapping of discs, why its better than swap magic

btw been eyeing up the new DMS4 Pro or lite, mainly cos its the latest and sounds impressive with HD loader capabilities etc....

i would recomend either a matrix infinity or a crystal mod !!!
depends on what version ps2 you own !!!!!!!!!!

the above are basicly the top dogs at the mo ,, however i hear through the grapevine that the duo 2 is a good mod ,, for price.....

i have a v7 ps2 with messiah 2 mod and will not change for the simple reason that it has never let me down ,, never failed to boot n e thing so will stick with my little puppy

but if you havent got a mod then dependant on the v ps2 you have the above should be the way forward .... by the way get fekin rid of the swap ****e lol

Well it depends on what your looking for out of a chip. If you simply want to boot your back-ups then depending on your version PS2 Duo2SE or Apple Pro. If you want a flashable chip with features then the MI or CC are tied for 1st IMO.

refer back to my first answer as they are all great just depends on your needs and pocket book.

Shouldnt that be enough by its self?!?! But if you need another reason swap magic fails on some games, yes there are workarounds but with a chip no need for workarounds.

DMS4 is a touchy chip. Read this. http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=67327

not to start any bad things back and forth but i believe strongly that my dms3 in my v7 is the best chioce! i know that apparently the Matrix and CC chips have the same features but the dms3 (in a version 7 ps2) has never failed me.. a great chip with may great features.. but if you just looking to boot backups i would recomend the DUO serices of chips!

Infinity or Crystal. I don't like the DMS products - too touchy for something the other two I mention do just as well, if not better.

What do you exactly mean by DMS being "touchy?" I'm thinking of DMS3 v2 because it's the only option for my v0. Any problems/issues I should be aware of about this one?

Thanks
