I would rec. getting the Messiah 2.....

Although, I would also rec. selling your version 1 and purchasing a new one BEFORE you mod......

The older version PS2's had crappy lasers, and if you were to mod it, you may find that it won't play DVD-R's......

I agree with BG. I was in the same situation as you are now. I had a v1 and wanted to get a mod. I sold my ps2 with 5 games I didn't play anymore for $285 on ebay. I got the $200 I needed for a new ps2 +$85 to go towards the chip and install. If you are unable to find an installer in Florida, send it to Bill at freedomlives.com. He is located just outside Chicago and does an unbelievable job.

I have and he does an awesome job. He guarantees all his work and tests everything out to make sure it is working properly. It took only 5 days for me to get my PS2 back. I couldn't be happier.

You can contact qpsxmod**********com. He locates in South Florida. He also a mod at HUABC.com. He did excellent job on my son PS2 Version 7. Very quick turn around time. He charge $130 including Magic 3.1 modchip, installation and shipping. You can go over HUABC.com under PS2 to checkout his reference

Yes.... The Messiah 2 Pro is basically the same chip...

The only difference is that the Pro version is designed to work in ALL consoles....

They do have Messiah 2's for individual consoles but its not worth the trouble.... Just get the Pro and you have nothing to worry about...

Contact Charlie_PS2 or Dust2Dust about the Messiah 2 Pro and they can set you up with it, no problem....
