Hey after reading through different forums I am convinced that WE6FE is the way to go and not WE6i like i planned and would be the easier option. I have a ps2 here in the states, if I got the game in Europe would it be compatible with my ps2? does anybody have any info on importing the game, like where from, how to, if so i would gadly appreciate any info, thanks.

============================
So what are those "Multi/Dual layer DVDs" you mentioned on the top?
-DVDs have single side and dual sides.
For Single side DVDs, D5 is the "normal" DVD while D9 is known as "Dual layered"
Dual sided DVDs have DVD10, DVD14, DVD18. DVD10 are DVD5 on both sides, while DVD14 is D5 on one side with D9 on other. DVD 18 is both side D9.
============================
What are the disc capacities for each of these types of DVDs?
-For single side DVDs
DVD 5 ------4.7GB
DVD 9 ------8.5GB
-For Dual side DVDs
DVD10------4.7x2 = 9.4GB
DVD14------4.7+8.5 = 13.2GB
DVD18------8.5x2 = 17GB
============================
Which modchips can play such games successfully without problems?
-Current available modchips with multi layer DVD 100% support are the DMS3, Messiah2 and Magic 3.1. The rest either are not 100% booting rate or need swapping to boot.
============================
I heard that there is a Messiah2 and Messiah2 pro chip. which one should i get?
-Messiah2 is the main term for this whole series of chips:
Messiah2 pro
Messiah2 Jap
Messiah2 Eur
Messiah2 U/C
Messiah2 Custom
Basically there are no differences in all their functions, they are only different in their ps2 type compatitability.
Please check the Messiah2 Homepage and scroll down from their main page to find the compatibility chart which will explain this.
So just get ur ps2 to a trustable/reputable dealer, and let them mod your ps2 with a compatible Messiah2
Recommended trustable shops: I-con and MM

Any other websites with charts regarding the modchips?
-Yes I have one, but a little of his info are not very accurate, whilst it's mostly accurate.

I know this has nothing to do with modchips, but my X-port/Sharkport messed up my AR2 dongle! Help!
-Ok first of all, cool down, take a deep breather and we'll continue. Load the AR2, holding on to start, select, L1, L2, R1 and R2 during the bootup. This will initiate a reset of the AR2 dongle. Then, use the AR2 to download save files from the computer, not the x-port software, to the dongle.

============================
Note: Regarding the Messiah2 naming confusion
There are many clone chips under the name "Messiah2" and can be quite confusing when trying to name the chip.
"Messiah2 Clone" shall be used when referring to the clone chip that uses Actel chips and is almost identical to the authentic messiah2 in terms of layout, look and functions.
"HK messiah2" or "Taiwan Messiah2" will be used on the clonechips that are actually based on magic 3/3.1 code and named messiah2 only for marketability.
"Non-reset HK Messiah2" or "Non-reset Taiwan Messiah2" shall be used on the clone chips that are using Datel or Ubicom chips unlike the Actel chip which messiah2 uses, named messiah2 for marketability, and do not need reset to be pressed to load the game.
the way to differentiate HK messiah2 and messiah2 clone, is that the messiah2 clone can direct boot by pressing eject to close the disc tray while the hk messiah2 needs to press reset to boot.
hope this new naming system will prevent possible confusion in naming/referring to these chips.
