Hi everyone,

At the moment i have a neo 2.2 with ar2, which i have been working hard to get working....

It works now thanks to everyone on these boards and their patience!

I have another question,

Is the messiah the best chip on the market and able to play ALL the PS2 games ( even Over 630mb) ? Do i still need an AR2?

Also, can i remove the neo 2.2 and replace with a messiah?

I have a V5 mainboard..

Is it easy to do? or am i likely to fry my ps2? (i can solder, but are diagrams complicated?


Thanks in advance,

The only concenced is to remove the chip and resolder the messiah chip
