Hello, I'm new.

Post by loopyeddie »

Hi, I'm a pretty active member on neo-geo.com, but I'm new here. I look forward to spending some time here. I recently purchased the 3 cave PS2 games from play asia and a PS2 virtua stick. The stick is not in stock and they said it would be a weeks wait. I have now been waiting a month and a week and it still hasn't shipped. Must be patient...

I shouldn't be too anxious, I don't even have a PS2 that can play them yet. I am thinking about just modding mine, any suggestions?

Hey, welcome to the forums. :) As far as your PS2 goes, if you're comfortable soldering, then by all means install a modchip. Best of both worlds that way.

Nice purchases. Potentially months of enjoyment there. Welcome to the forum...

Thanks for the welcome. I am pretty comfortable soldering but I have a slim PS2 and am worried that the contact points will be very tiny. Has anyone had experience with this?

Well I started liking them way back with Raiden. I was hooked with DonPachi. The rest is history.

Can you give me more info on this? A link maybe? I only have a slim though, so I don't think I can use a HDD.

Welcome aboard!

Every self respecting shmuper knows, that there are just too many cool JPN shooters available for the PS-1/2 to be missed out when not having a modded PS-2.

So, If you're not too lazy (Like my self ;)) & feel comfortable with a soldering gun, You should definitely install a mod chip into your PS-2.

I finally got the Cave games from Play Asia. Now I really need to get on with the mod. Maybe this week.
