Need mod chip for new PS2

[whoeverxxx]

I'm leaning toward the crystal chip since I beleive its newer and the site says it works well in the slim PS2, it states that its $42(US) plus shipping and handling for THE CHIP ONLY, does this mean I need something else?

Most likely you will need to get hold of some Kynar wire (30 gauge). It's very fine hook-up wire that is perfect for chip installation.

For your other comment about backing up Xbox games, they are just as easy to do as a PS2 game. You just have to use the Xbox itself to read the game disc. No biggie. Once you do it once or twice, it becomes second nature.

Don't I need a different operating system other than Wix XP to do this? What do you use to connect your Xbox to your P.C. to read games?

XP is probably the best operating system to use.

But to answer your question briefly:
1. First you have to mod the Xbox
2. Load up a program that has FTP connectivity (eg Evolution X dashboard)
3. Connect a crossover network cable between your PC and Xbox
4. FTP into the Xbox and copy the files from the Game DVD onto the PC
5. Make an ISO of the files and burn onto DVD-R.

Everything you would want to know about the Xbox is on Xbox Scene. Head on over there if you want more information.

XBOX? Er.... Isn't this a PS2 forum? I think we need to get back on track here, so:

Both the Crystal and Matrix are awesome chips. I have had experiences with them both and haven't had a single problem. I guess it's all down to personal preference. If you would like something a little different and the optional dashboards, go for the Crystal. If you want a down right awesome chip which has been hugely tried, tested and loved, go for the Infinity

I couldn't (and still can't) decide...
