Has anyone installed a modchip at the golden arcade? Does it work? Do you have the installers name / booth number? Price?

 

I have. Don't have the name but it cost me US$175 or so for the conversion! I'm a F.O.B.

 

Do it yourself...it's easy. I did mine. When I installed my chip it had like 50+ wires, now the new chips only have <20 or so. Just buy a soldering iron and some solder for $20 from radio shack and in 1.5 hrs you're done.

 

i got mine chipped....my PS2 is really old though, and it started to get real slow and freezes for no reason
i regreted it, cause now i can get a chipped new faster one quite cheap here
i chip it to buy copy CDs that are 4 $ each..... cheap bastard , i know....but all of my country does this

 

uh, don't do it yourself it is hard, all the soldering points are so tiny, I don't know how they do it

 

It's not thaaaat hard. Just get a fine point soldering iron. Only takes less than an hour for the newer chips.

 

I got several PS2 and XBOX consoles chipped by this guy:

He's pretty knowledgeable and does good, quick work.

 

thanks! it would be easier than dragging my PS2 through the streets of HK too!
