Question Neo 2 wont run SHOX

HI

I was wondering if anyone with a ps2 could confirm that SHOX and some other games just WONT run with a NEO 2 Chip.

my frien has one and every now and then a game wont run, i told him to throw that peice of crap machine to hell but he sais that many games will run just fine!

his second theory is that a wirre has droped from the board so it ****s some games up, he can not as an example run Originals...

it would be good if anyone could confirm that hes machine is crap so that i can tel him to get a new one. or atleast a new chip...

OK... I'll confirm it..... The Neo 2 is a CRAP chip....Get rid of it now, before it screws up your friends PS2.....

Get the Messiah 2 and you have no more worries....

The Neo line of chips, pulses 5 volts to the laser.... This is too much voltage.... It will burn up the laser.... They had a fix, and you are supposed to install a capacitor, it helped the problem tremendously, BUT it didn't take care of it 100%.....

As far as the 2.5...... I'm usure.... Maybe someone else can confirm it....

I ve got a neo 2.2 with a capacitor installed on a v4 and after 8 months suddently all dvd-rs freeze, pause etc.

Its a fact that the laser wears out after sometime..
I just play until i see it die...
so i bought a v7 and i am waiting for my messiah 2 to install.

p.s. i am wondering when will the cdrs refuze to play??

I would never buy anything with Neo in its name.
