Ouch that's more than I thought it was going to be as well - though I do realise there is a LOT of solidering (u any good?).

I know that Gameforce (?) in Union Street chip PS2's but they use the older chip that requires the Replay CD as well (think that's right).

I'm keen to get mine done as the amount of stuff you can get through WinMX (peer-to-peer file sharing) is excellent.

Edited to say that I've just read you have the Neo already!

Not for their scooby but for their ps2.

Anywhere in Scotland where I can get one supplied and fitted?

 

Do you realise this also involves attaching about 30 wires? Loads of hassle so likely to be pricey.
I believe you can get it done at the Barra's.

 

U r right blade, buckets of wires (more than my harness)
Jus get an sbox usb chip A lot less hassle IMHO & only 1 wire to do. Sayin that it depends on which model u r running.

I've got the neo2.2 plus AR2 v2 but its a bit of a pain to boot up.

Messiah, I have been told although tricky to install, should only set me back around £35 which is nearly the price of the AR2 alone.

Trip tae ra barras ra morra! Will let you know how I get on.

 

It'll be good to hear how you get on - thinking about it myself

 

Dougster

How much faster does it go after its chipped ???

Dave


(hehehe)

 

just get an xbox with rallysport challenge - tooooooo much fun

 

Dougster did you get it done?

 

Not yet. Still trying to source a chip at a reasonable price.

Been quoted £50 for chip supplied, £80 more to fit it.

Will fit it myself, but have heard they can be found for £35ish??

 

""Will fit it myself""

LMFAO, no drinkin for you for a week then mate

 

Doug, if you can source one including wiring diagram, I'll be willing to fit it for you.

 

Cheers David, will let you know.

Hey Scoty, you're not the only genius out there. I was merely using 'myself' as an expression as to having the means to fit it.

Although I do now have a solder. Do you?

 

Dougster - Does the neo2.2 plus AR2 v2 work well - apart from the hassle of swapping?

i.e. does it play 80min cdr cd's ok?

Cheers
Richard.

G Stores in Union Street sell and fit the Messiah for £120, and the Neo 2.2 for £60.

Richard.

 

Neo2.2 and AR2 is a pain in the a***. Thats why I want a messiah.

Can't comment on dvds as i use it for games only.

Check www.thebarras.co.uk

 

lol - a web site classic stuff

 

It implies on the site you can use a DVD Region X boot disk to play copies without a chip - ne1 tried this?

Richard.

 

it is possible to boot everything with ar2 and No chip - do a search for swap tool - its a messy way to do things though.

I had a messiah fitted by gem computers - works brill on everything.

Gareth

 

Thanks Gareth - the Messiah certainly seems the way to go.

 

Maybe not folks. I have been infromed that Sbox with AR2 will play DVD-rs where messiah won't.

E-mail me for more information.

Dougster, was Kenny from my workplace any help to you?

 

He was indeed! Scotsman seems interested too.

Kenny only lives down the road from me and is going to drop something off at the weekend.

David, as for my laptop problem I downloaded an updated driver and things seem to be going better. I have however come across some mp3 files that are playing a bit zingy. Will let you know how I get on!

Thanks again.

 

Yep - I'm going to give Kenny a buzz tomorrow. Thanks for the pointers and advice chaps

Richard.
