 Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: What is a Mod Chip?
A: When installed in your gaming system, such as a PlayStation
or XBox, a mod chip will allow you to play imported games
as well as backups of your own games made on CD-r or DVD-r
Media.
Q: Does a Mod Chip work on ALL PlayStation
models?
A: Our chips will work on all PlayStation 2 models. See
the Compatibility chart for details.
Q: Why do I need a mod chip to play imports
and backups?
A: The Sony PlayStation checks the country code on the PS2
CD Roms / DVDs before it allows the game to start. If the country
code on the disc
does not match that of your PlayStation, it will not allow
you to play the game. Similarly, the console checks to make
sure you have inserted an original disc.
Q: Why are there so many different kinds
of mod chips?
A: As Sony continue to enhance their consoles
mod chip developers meet the demand with new and more sophisticated
chips. Check our compatibility
chart to determine which mod
chip is right for you. For PS2 the easiest install is the Fliptop
Shell
with Swap Magic Discs. The easiest play is the Magic
chip, but these require soldering.
Q: Is it hard to install a Mod Chip?
A: No! It is easy to install a Mod Chip if you know how to
solder. The typical installation time is 25-60 minutes -
from unscrewing the first screw to putting the last screw
back in. The installation requires you to solder from 4 to
23 wires to your PlayStation, depending on
the version mod chip you choose.
Q: How do I know where to solder these wires?
A: We supply you with
solder, wire and online access to full-color illustrated,
step by step instructions with crystal clear installation
pictures to guide you through EVERY step of the installation
process. With our pre-wired kits all you need to provide
is a screwdriver and a 15-watt soldering iron! For the more
complicated chips we also provide Clip Sets to make the job
easier.
Q: Are there any other solutions for playing
my backups and imports?
A: Yes there are. We offer external Neo Keys and several other
plug-n-play devices. Your best bet if you don't want to solder
is the combination of the Fliptop shell and the Swap Magic
disc set. No soldering--just replace the PS2 shell and follow
our instructions.
