Messiah 2 Pro installed!

[vordu]

After about 6 hours of doing my first ever mod I managed to get a working version 3 Pal modded with a Messiah 2 Pro!

Yes 6 hours is extensive, but the V3 Pal ps2 is a real bitch to mod with a messiah. All the later ones can do away with soldering direct to the CD controller chip. 8 adjacent legs is nasty to solder to :P

Anyways a few noobie questions.

1. Being in australia we are free to mod our devices for region free playback legally. Now I'm a little peeved non of the new mod chips do DVD region free. Is there any download/rip out there that I can burn myself to let me do DVD Region free?

2. Is there any max speed or minimum quality CDR media recommended? So far done 4 burns at max(6 speed, yeah i know the burner is ancient) which have all worked, but gonna get a 105 soon so would like to know what speed to burn CDR with that.

3. I'm using Prassi Primo DVD 2 to burn the CDs with. Is this not recommended? I also have Nero and CloneCD but I figure its just simpler if I burn both DVDs and CDs with the same app.

Thanks heaps!

btw - extremely relieved and happy with the Messiah 2 Pro! Just needs DVD region free
