Not sure what you are looking for......

Patches are not a big deal anymore (in my opinion).......Except for Video Mode Patches (ie PAL-NTSC & Vice Versa).....

DVD writers have come down so much in price, its really the best option.... You can copy dvd games 1:1..... No more ripping or anything, just copy and play....

RecordNow Max is a new tool for DVD based game backup, www.stompinc.com, tutorial in sticky posts at the top of this forum section.

DVD writers have evolved. Pioneer A05 & Sony DRU-500A are the two big boys at the moment.

RecordNow Max or Primodvd for dvd based games and CloneCD for cd based games(blue backs). No patching is necessary with any of these.

I beleive they are now $58.00.

Then you will just need to either install it yourself (i don't rec) or have a pro do it for you..(I highly rec.)

Benefits over Neo? Ha! The Neo chips fry your laser. That alone is a good enough reason to switch. The Messiah 2 has 24 wires. A good external burner is the Sony DRX-500UL, but be prepared to fork out a lot of dough.

you said the neo 4 frys your laser, how long does it usually take to do that, and will it eventually happen or not. my old man installed my neo4, so do u think he would be able to install the messiah as well? does it go in the same place as the neo 4?

and does anyone know if cabela big game hunter is dvd or regular?
thanks
