Turning off Neo 2.2 chip
 

hi guys i have a question. is there any way to turn off the neo 2.2 chip.

cause i would like to play online , but from what i've heard is that you could'nt go online with a modded ps2.:confused: Not even if you have the original game..

Can someone please help me out
:)

Thank you;)

i am pretty sure u cannot turn off the neo 2.2 chip but as for on-line game play as long as u have the original everything is good!

So even if my ps2 is modded?
that would be really great..

Cause i just bought tony hawk underground:)

Correct me if Im wrong but if I remember correctly I think the Neo2.2 is off until you turn it on by holding the reset button for a limited amount of time.

Just leave it off and play your original and you should have no probs, until your Neo burns out your laser that is.

Burn out laser????
 

I had a Neo 2.2 or Starchip in my v4 for almost 2 years. I then got a Messiah 2 clone and used it for 4 months and my laser is still going strong. I now have a v7 with a Magic V. The guy who owns my old v4 plays the crap out of it and the laser is still going strong.It has almost been 3 years and that v4's laser is still going. So when is it going to burn out????? Not so sure the NEO 2.2 is a laser burner.

Yep....Tyler right. When u switch on the ps2 the neo is in sleep mode until u hit the reset button so network games should play fine if u don't reset.....And I watched my old version 4 die slowly with neo2.2 fitted an wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If u gonna open yr ps2 up an start soldering then might as well solder something decent in there...

Sorry guys, but the neo2.2 is activated at power up, it doesnt have a sleep mode. You only have to press and hold reset (for 10 sec) to load EA protected backups. CD-R backups load with a normal GS2 or AR2 swap. PSX titles load no-swap.

You sure about that Warlok? I mean it was basically the same thing as the Neo2.5/6 and I installed tons of those back in the day. I remember that if you put in a backup it wouldnt load up until you turned on the chip buy holding reset for a period of time while waiting for flashing lights to tell which mode.




Tyler!

Yeah i'm sure. I still got a old v2 with a neo2.2.

Ok Ill take your word for it.


Version 2 ps2?! What do you still have that for? For the kids to sit on while playing a newer version? Just kidding man. :p
