    Can I Messiah my PS2?

    Mine is a US SCPH -30001. Can it be done?

    Snap!

    I've discussed this with Saurian - it can be done, but it's a BITCH.

      yes but check here to see which version it is http://www.brown-computers.com/ps2-versions.htm

      as versions 1-3 especially are harder to mod than v4 upwards

        Boy, do I feel stoopid. I always thought I'd got a V3, but it's really a V4!!!!

        Is that good?

            yes as i think it will be less harder to chip. mod chip installers dont seem to want to chip versions below v5 because the lasers have a chance of dying though, but mine is a version 4 with a messiah and works fine but i dont play copies on it thats probably why.

                    I'll have to see what Saur reckons, as he's the poor bast who'd have the duty of fitting it...

                      Well, mine's a v4, and Saurian said he didn't want to chip it because he didn't want any chanc eof the laser dying prematurely. I can understand his stance though, I wouldn't want someting I had modded ending up going up the spout because of the laser not liking reading DVD-R's or summat.

                      I would imagine it's fine to chip it with a messiah as Wod has said, and only play originals if there is any worry about the laser issues.

                          I asked Saur to chip my USA V4 PS2 a few months back. He wouldn't touch it. Suggest you get rid of your current PS2 on Ebay (got a good price for mine ) and get a pre-modded one from Saur.

                            It`s abit ironic really that the newer versions are easier to mod than the older ones. You thought sony would try making it harder for the mod fitters not easier
