Duo 2 Question?

[SleeplessHunter]

Whats up ppl!

Im just curious, i've had my flip-top for like 3months, and i, umm, wanna get a modchip installed now (no comments! )

Is the new Duo 2 Special edition good? cause I can get it for $100 installed where I live.

Or any other suggestions or better modchips that wont be dangerous to the PS2?

(I have a v5/v6 ps2, not sure which of the 2 it is)

Thanks!

You can check out the mod chip sticky located in the ultimate sticky info. That will give you some info on different mod chips but to answer your question on is a duo2 good. Yes its ok for its price but you also said 100 for chip and install which is a bit on the high side. I guess if you dont have to ship it anywhere, its pretty close to what it would cost if you had shipping on top of the install cost. There are other chips that are better but thats only if you want high end features.
I use the Duo and it suits my needs.
Duo2 is a good choice!

[SleeplessHunter]

Yup, theres no shipping involved, its downtown in my area.

And high end features? I DOUBT id need them, (but I'll check out the sticky just in case) cause all I want to do is play ps2/ps1 backups... for movies I have my dvd player

And btw dude, whered u get ur quote from?
Its DEF A+ cool, has a certain "ancient" vibe to it! (that and the fact I was just watching UnderWorld for the 10th time :P )

Stay well away from Duo chips dude

All they are is the ice homebrew code slapped into a cheap chinese made PCB

Loads of problems abound with them and console death is very common due to the 'homemade' nature of the code

Get a proper mod and stop supporting the code thief people

This is the bigest crock of **** i have read in a while, Dont know who you get your info from but Duo and Duo2 are excellent chips. I have installed several and never had a single porblem. Lets see how many installers and Duo owners that will back me up on this

[crazygamelover]

Ditto Warlock! Duo and Duo2 are 2 of the best chips on the market and have proven to be extremely reliable. I'm afraid you have been seriously misinformed. If your opinion is based on a bad install or faulty PS2, then blame not the chip, but the installer or PS2. If installed correctly, they are bodaishly awesome and very good. I recommend them with experience of use cause mine is excellent and works perfectly!

Chalk this one up as Extremely misInformed, and now corrected!

Where do you think all code for any chip comes from??? 'homemade' nature HA, what do you think some robot made the code? All code is home made in every chip, it’s not like any chip is really an industrial version with signed code or something.

What you said is correct about the Duo2 using ICE code, but only to a point. It’s modified ICE code and if you really want to know something about code, most chips at some point use bits and pieces of code taken from other people’s previous work. I do think that it would have been nice of the Omega team to at least mention this on there site some place and give credit where credit is do. But it’s not like they are ripping them off and making a killing on the code, or over inflating the price while using someone else’s code, look how little it costs to buy a Duo2 chip.

As for the chip killing a PS2 where is your proof? This is the first I have ever heard of something like this. I have installed more Duo's then you will probably ever see in your life and never had a problem like you are suggesting.

I like his new Signature though.

Maybe he has been using the clone chips and had loads of problems with them?

while you guys have been using the real thing. That would explain his reaction.

@Bear Necked

You know ****. Duo are great chips - I have installed several and find they are great chips.

Go somewhere else where your poisoned information is accepted

[SleeplessHunter]

Cool! Thanks guys!

Ive made up my mind, gonna get a Duo2 installed (whenever the damn modchip installer will email me back, been frickin 3 days )

Anyone know a place in Montreal, Quebec to help me out?
