USB Extreme

[Joe Forster/STA]

Apparently, you have tried too big shops. (Or haven't tried any and are just guessing...) In small shops, selling and/or installing modchips is perfectly normal as it is part of the income necessary to keep themselves in business. I had absolutely no problems with finding a friendly (small, Hungarian) shop to install a modchip (ordered from the USA) into a PS2 I bought in a completely different (big, Hungarian) shop. How about that?

In this thread, three out of three people advised you to drop your initial idea and get a modchip instead because it's much better than using exploits. (Especially, if you mean this console to be used by your kids: the more transparent the method, the easier for them to use it!) You received the best answer that forum members could come up with: it was pointed out that you're probably on the wrong track and the reason was also more or less shown. Why that is a problem for you, why you feel it as an insult, I have no idea... Perhaps, we are too constructive or helpful for your standards, not answering your question blindly but offering more able alternatives instead...?!

To be banned or not to be banned, at this point who cares. Snake2 was the only person who actually helped. He convinced me not to purchase the usb extreme disk. So this thread was useful to me after all and to the others that may come across it. I have tried 4 different indepent owned shops that sell consoles used or new and all expressed how illegal it was to own a chip and how much damage it does to their business. I explained my purpose and they still weren't convinced. Just the opposite of what was just said in the previous post. Whenever I post, it isn't just for my benefit, it is for others who read it also. Yes, usb extreme was the wrong direction that is why I dropped the idea, I have also dropped the idea for the mc exploit because the other forum I visit solved my problem completely. I would explain the solution here but it seems mod chips are the only direction known. And I don't mean the slide ruin my ps2 trick. Thanks to Snake2 for turning me to a new direction.
