I've been using this chip for about 2 months now. Works fine, for a swap mod chip. The only problem I've found is it doesn't play DVD rips. It's supposed to to DVDr but I dont have any to test. Easy to install and cheap too. Only draw back is the swap, but you get a AR2 and you get all the codes as well. Over all good cheap option for thoese that want to play back ups and dont want the large outlay of getting a messiah or magic chip installed, or thoes that are not confident to solder one in themselved.
