Also the EZI is only compatible with V5-V10 PS2's. And what Warlock said about bent chip legs and dead PS2's is very true and I can confirm this first hand.

It appears there are a few sports games that do not work. However, I'm willing to try this out. Thanks for everyone's help and if and when I get it working, I'll be more than happy to let everyone know my results!

Honestly mate, save your cash as you'll only want a real mod such as an Infinity once you've bought that - and then you'll be pretty p*ssed off as it's cost you $x.xx and it didn't work properly

(Seems its another one fallen prey to the myths and seeming wonders *cough* of the Swap Magic discs )

I would be more than willing to buy this Infinity chip because as you note, is seems more reliable. However... I have no soldering capabilities or skills whatsoever. Got any suggestions?

Yeah - find a Pro to supply and install your chip. I see you're in the States, so the best place to send your console is: www.norcalmods.com - run by our good friend Spedmetal. PM him or see his site - i'm sure he'd happily hook you up - and he has some good prices too

I think I found someone in my small college hicktown that has the ability to solder. I have talked to his wife and she said he can do that. However, I would like to get the installation instructions for him. I was checking modchip.com and they had pictures, but from what I could tell, they weren't much help. Any suggestions from people who have soldered their own chip on how to install this Infinity chip?

Be careful, dont let just anyone try to install the chip. The install pictures you see are actually quite larger than the install points on the MB are. I would first disassemble the console and look at the MB. If he has any doubt at all i would suggest you reassemble the console and send it to Spedmetal at www.norcalmods.com.
