Soldering is for research...

Good news are that PS2 system can be unlocked...

A lot of mods, have been released with the promise that will let you boot your back ups, which come from your original disks.
Some of them requires the help of software (AR2/GS2) to overcome PS2 system, while others (messiah and his clones) have been succeed without the need of any software!
However, this attempts have been developed for research perposes as either of those are not user friendly solution, meaning that you always have the risk of destroying your console.
Soldering is not a indicated method to unlock PS2 consoles,
by the percentage of the troubles that solder cause.
So, the combination of software(AR2/GS2) and hardware(mods),
it is still a necessary evil,
and the only goal that we have to achive is to minimize soldering!

- Neo4 + Software

Neo4 was the first attempt in soldering straight to the bios points interference in PS2 system.
The difficulty of the installation, and the need of softwatre, that was needed to load all formats of backups, stunt the curfew of this product, by the market that it was designed for.

- Messiah mod

Messiah mod and his clones, is the only mod that unlock PS2 system 90%,
without the need of any software!
You can attach this mod, straight to the bios points of PS2, and free your console to boot all types of backups and original games, without swap.
This mod have been succesfully fitted in all PAL systems and in one version of NTSC systems. The unique abilities of this mod, forced people to buy it and try to fit it in their consoles, without knowing how dificult the installation is!

- Neo2.2 + Software

The first attempt in unlocking PS2 system, in the history of this console.
The simplisity of the installation, and the results in PS2 life, make it as the best solution in PS2 modification!

Also it is compatible with all systems and all models.

- Lusifer Full + Software

Neo technologies, software help and automatic tray opener, copparate all togather, giving you the ability to boot all format backups, in all systems and all models of PS2, even in the new ones (scph-3000xR), where the neo technologies failed to accomplish with DVD-Rs and automatic tray openers with DVD-Rips.

All these mods, are effecting in the right functionality of PS2!
If you want your console to be able to boot all formats of backup games,
then you have to use one of the above beta testing mods,
and be owner of a beta testing console.
Beta testing console, usally requires continious service,
and loads of spare parts to stay alive!

We strongly recomend you to avoid these solutions, that only experienced technics can afford to accomplish, and come up with the finall solution!
