It all depends on the type of chip you get.

My friend got an X-box chip, and it was widely believed that the chips cause x-box live failiure, this was the case, yes, but his had a special circuit built in which overrides that, so there were no drawbacks to installing his mod chip.

You just gotta look around.

www.modchip.ca should be the first place you go.

Got my answer last night:

The ps2 will still play online but they cannot be burnt games, online adaptor cannot recognize them! I have mine chipped so that you can manually turn the chip off if you want which means i just have to buy original games to play online and turn the chip on when im playing any other game.

Thanks nzero :thumbsup

im also looking into buying a Chip... but was afraid of losing online capablities


now i see, and have to look for one that overides or can be turned off

There is a way you can use burnt games with it.. but the webpage that has that info has been shut down cause there was torrent files on it :smilie_da it has to do with the registry key you have to mod and add into your burnt game disk to play it.. I will dig around and see if I can get more info
