hi,
do u all think that the knife methods good or bad every one welcome to reply

Good if you take your time...

Bad if you rush it or heavy handed...

been doing it for well over a year with no probs, just don't go jamming your "card" into the PS2, take your time till you get the hang of it and don't force.

Its very good as long as you don't ram you tool into your PS2 and catch something you should't, the only prob i used to have was that sometimes the door wasn't fully shut and i used to try and force it but once i realised what i was doing all was ok

JAM

not good for the tray in a long run, but it keeps your warrenty

I did it for 3 months, till yesterday, it worked great.
i sent my ps2 of to be chipped with a neo2.2, i was getting tired of not playing a lot of games or nomod patching games, then they are even worse than the rips.

using the "key" makes it alot easier 90% of games work and you can get the nomod patch aswell....so really why mod???
thats my thoughts anyway;)

knife trick is the greatest, i use it for loading up my dvd-r games, i learned all about it here http://cousinfizz.4mg.com/ great page with pics on how to make the knife ool and a tutorial on how do use the knife tool, dont worry everything on that page is 100% working as i used the same instructions when i did it :D

Knife Trick (take a good look at CFizz's site) is good for saving your warrenty, but Messiah is even better: no swap, play every game!!
