PSX Extreme meldt dat er via ModChip.com een nieuwe mod chip voor de Playstation 2 verkrijgbaar is, waarmee de PS2 geschikt wordt gemaakt voor gekopieerde PSX en PS2 games. Bovendien wordt de regiobeveliging gesaboteerd, zodat je bijv. ook Amerikaanse games op een Japanse PS2 kunt draaien:
Not too long ago I reported on the first PS2 Mod Chips to hit the streets. If installed, the first generation of PS2 Mod Chips would allow you to play copied PS and PS2 CD based games. The first chips that we had didn't break any regional barriers, meaning that still only Japanese games would work on the Japanese system.A few days ago we received an express package from our friends at ModChip.com with new version of the chip that plays import games on the PS2 system. What does this mean? It means that if you have a Japanese PS2, you can use it to play American PSX games on it. As you can see in our picture, it is a larger chip than the previous one which makes the installation process a little longer.
Thanks KinkyClown voor de tip.
