No estas actualizado NOLDOR, echa un vistazo a este parrafo extraido de gamedreax, bastante entendidos en el tema de modchips y a ver que te parece, y a los demás, parece que el chip definitivo ya esta aquí, en un mes mas o menos.
Messiah versus Neo4:
We receive a lot of E-Mails from guys asking which of both PS2 Modchips is better and which one will win the race. See the following table and decide for yourself:
MESSIAH
Number of wires: 16
PS2 Original Imports (CD/DVD): direct boot
PS2 Backups (CD): direct boot
PS2 HK Silvers (CD): direct boot
PS2 Backups (DVD): Optional: (single swap) or (direct boot +10 wires)
PS2 HK Silvers (DVD): Optional: (single swap) or (direct boot +10 wires)
PS2 EA Sports Backups: direct boot - no patch required
DVD Codefree: yes
DVD Macro Off: yes
RCE protected DVDs: yes
Price: less than NEO4
Release: 2-4
NEO4
Number of wires:33
PS2 Original Imports (CD/DVD): n/a*
PS2 Backups (CD): direct boot
PS2 HK Silvers (CD): direct boot
PS2 Backups (DVD): Optional: single swap
PS2 HK Silvers (DVD): Optional: single swap
PS2 EA Sports Backups: direct boot - with patch
DVD Codefree: yes
DVD Macro Off: yes
RCE protected DVDs: yes
Price: 85 US$
Release: 2-4 weeks
* = when Original Imports will be involved in Neo4 then it's going to be a rip of the Origa PAL Modchip meaning additional 8 wires and single swap!
Well we have to say that we made our decision and we decided to sell the Messiah Modchip with a much better feeling than we had when offering Neo4. All Channeltech wants to do is release a 100% working perfect modchip which is fairly easy to install and not too expensive to the end user. In most cases we make our decisions by our feelings and we're 100% sure to handle correct in this case. This decision does not scratch our respect and gratefulness we feel to Neo technologies for inventing the series of Neomodchips.
We recieved a sample of Bootmaster 3 (formerly Neo3) which is also developed and manufactured by Channeltech. After the pretty easy installation we have to say that this Modchip is definately the most perfect solution to modify your PS2 at the moment! The pcb looks very professional and Messiah will be based on the same professionality as BM3!
Espero que esto vaya despejando dudas y dando animos a la peña que se resiste a instalar los chips actuales.
