Online retailer National Console Support confirmed on its web site that its has secured a new decode chip for PS2 software from its partners in Asia. Essentially, this standard micro-controller, the same as the one used for the original PlayStation software modifications, requires the use of only eight lines of instruction. NCS has tested the chip and has successfully copied PS2 software. Japan's Nikkei News has additionally confirmed the existence of a PS2 mod chip, reporting that it will retail for a price of 4,300 yen.
It seems that Sony was not careful, or interested, enough to insert tighter pirating safeguards into their PS2 games. The illegal copying of PlayStation games has been a major problem in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the US, and other areas. Now that same scenario could be continued in the next-generation PlayStation 2 games.
