Next Wednesday I'll be getting be a nice new slim PS2 and I really wanted to put a mod chip in it. I just want one of the chips that allows you to play "backed-up" games. I'm really not too sure what chip to get or anything, so any advice would be helpful.

i dont think the Ps2 is capable of doing anything but playing the backup games unlike the xbox which you can do a lot more with.

Any of you guys know which chip would be the best for my case and how hard they are to install?

new chip which is also for v12 ps2 which is the slim ps2. reqqires the soldering of like 19 wires i think so if u are experienced in soldering then get a mod chip. if not get swap magic with a fliptop case.

The soldering is very difficult. It is not even comprable to soldering two wires together, You are soldering a small wire onto an extremely small contact on a motherboard. If you are not very confident in your soldering do not try to do it yourself. BTY you can do just as much with the ps2 as an xbox, you just need to put a hard drive in as well.

I don't think I'll do the soldering. Luckily for me, my mom's job consists of soldering components to circuit boards...
