Speaking of easier methods, i hear they are coming out with a solderless version of that chip I just installed (DMS4 Lite). Talk about bad timing. Oh well. Does the slide card let you play import games and all that stuff? I just realized I don't know how to read Japanese. Oh well.

Haven't tried to play any imports. Just US backups. On a game or two, you need an extra disk (cdloader, you can download it for free on the internet)... Trying to remember which game, I think it was Rachet and Clank 2... anyhow, there isn't a game I haven't been able to run so far.

lets hope you didn't inhale any of those fumes from the hot solder.

They are carcinogenic

maybe it's just the pics but that looks like some thick *** wire! I use tiny wire 4 doing my xboxes and *****, find it way easier to work with. all those wires remind me of when I did my first homebrew chip

hey slo 13, think you could take a look at my safc2 that doesnt wanna power it up? im good at soldering buty not to that extent. it would have taken me twice the time and i would have cursed way too much. plus the smoke would have made me high and i would have lost interest.

As long as you wont hold me accountable for ------- it up even worse, sure no problem. I might be in the ATL area on Saturday. Planning on going to the 2 pullaparts to get some civic and 240sx parts.
