Judging by previous comments in the thread it seems like he's the guy, but unfortunately he hasn't posted here in over a month. Matt, come back!

BTW, I'm taking a break from Xbox mods. I don't get enough demand for them, and shipping is killer for such a heavy system.
TnJ (10 minutes drive from my house :)) was using Messiahs last I checked, although they might have changed to Duos or something else since.Quote:
You can get a modded universal PS2 from www.toysnjoys.com for $259 + shipping. That's the best deal I've found on the net for a new modded system, they're usually $300+ at most places. I'm not sure what chip they use, but you could just email and ask.
I can do new modded systems for less than that, BTW. A lot less, actually!
It's a 5 min drive from my house (the Kaimuki store, they have one in Aiea too). :) Picked up Gradius V there a few weeks back. You live on Oahu too?Quote:

I also go to UH Manoa. Maybe I already know you and don't realize it! You don't happen to know any skinny haole marine biology students named Matt, do you?
So here's the story:
I buy the DMS3 mod and get it in the mail. Tonight dad opens the PS2 to get cracking. I checked DMS's website for instructions, etc. beforehand. I check, double, and triple checked for my system version (v4 by all accounts). When dad opens it, the board looks nothing like the one the site's photos use to help with installation. Damn! Plus the on-site instructions are rather vague and hard to follow, esp. with the crappy photos.
So...Three things:
One, is there a definative place with proper mod install instructions for the DMS3 on a v4 system?
Two, does anyone know where I could send this to get installed with rush service? I want this out in one day, there the same or the next, and back the next or day after.
Three, should I cut my losses and go the pre-modded route? Even if my dad gets proper manuals/photos, he seems wary of messing around so many tiny contact points. Plus this way, I could have two PS2s - a mod and non-mod - and sell the DMS3 chip (hasn't left the static bag yet).
So, I'm at your mercy. Help a gamer out!
Heh. Man, you should've just had Matt hook you up with one. :)
