| Modchip features/info |
| NEO1 - Very early PS2 modchip for the JAP console. NEO1 was designed for PSX backups on a PS2. NEO2 - PS2 modchip designed for PS2 backups to be played with a swap with GS2/AR2 and PSX backups without a swap. NEO2.2 - NEO2.2 is an updated version of NEO2, it allows more time for EA boot and some say is more effective. STARCHIP - Same features as Neo2.2 NEOKEY - The first external mod for PS2. The NEOKey still requires soldering to the PS2's mainboard, only two points though. The NeoKey requires one swap to be performed with a GS2/AR2 for PS2 backups, no swap for PSX backups. The NeoKey does not support the EA swap. The NEOKey also is known as the USBMod and SBox. NEO3/BOOTMASTER3 - The Neo3 was first designed by NeoTech, then later dropped, picked up by ChannelTech, who changed the name from Neo3 to Bootmaster3. The BM3 is a Neo2 chip with DVD features like MuilRegion, MacroOff, etc. ORIGA - The best swap mod out on the market. The Origa will boot any PS2 backup with one swap using AR2/GS2, DVDR or CDR. The Origa will also boot IMPORT ORIGINALS with no swap. ORIGA2 - This was the chip was going to be very good, no swap everything, then it was cancelled NOVACHIP - Origa1.0 clone with less wires NEO2.5/XKEY - Swap based mod with same features as Neo2.2 and less wires to install. You have to hold reset for everygame you play. Only available for V4 and V5 PS2s NEO2.6 - Same as Neo2.5, but automatically chooses the GS2/AR2 selections. NEO4 - The first noswap CDR mod out. The Neo4 will boot PS2 CDR with no swap. PS2 DVDRs still require one swap, which does NOT require a GS2/AR2. The Neo4 can be used in combination with the Origa for no-swap everything. NEO4.1 - Updated verion of Neo4. The Neo4.1 supports more consoles, has the latest DVD drivers and faster boot than the Neo4, that is the only differences. NEOSTAR - Neo4 clone MESSIAH - As of right now this is the chip to have. The Messiah is no swap for everything! Simply a great chip! RMOD - The mod that isnt a mod. The RMod imitates the Knife Trick and make it unable to play all games, that is why I call it a mod that isn't a mod. This is also the first "Mod" that does not require soldering. |
