ps2 mod help please

[drifter-in]

Ok ive been moding for about 9 years, V5, V6, V7, There great, But so are the V9 and 10, Do the large protect to LA6508, use a good chip, I like the H2O
its a good mid range chip you can look around the net and pick it for about 18 -24 bucks, It allows DL + media playback of backups, But if you want a little better go crystal you can usually pick up one of these for about 48 to 59
depending on if you buy more than one, The 5000 units are good units, it wasnt just laser strain but the constant reseting of earlier chips, But now the chips are better, But I still always do the LA protect,
I only had one blow that was using a magic pro, before I had heard about the la large protect, Ive seen others though, and fixed them, To me I like the V7 and V9 these are my two favorite versions, But the 5 and 6 have never let me down either,
The H20 has played every ps2 backup ive done, But it will not play anti mod ps1 originals or backups without patching the image file,

v9 v10 mmm bit hit and miss tbh the installs not hard at all, always had problems soldering to v10 mobos trying to solder the power line for the matrix infinity the solder never ever wanted to connect on it. Does in the end, very thick laquer protection on this board me thinks.
v4 5 6 7 8 piece of cake v12 v13 mehh there not hard just a bit of a pain.
