I have:
PlayStation model 9001 (without the port that plugmods use)
fat PlayStation 2 with the front cover of the drive removed for slide card purposes

One of the games I specifically want to play is Vib-Ribbon, so something like the PSX-Change or other disc-swap method is out of the question.

As far as I can tell, my best option is this modchip: http://www.modchip.ca/store/product....cat=256&page=1

I can't find information on how to install it anywhere, just places selling it or people commenting on how easy it is.

I have never soldered anything, I have never seen anyone solder anything, I don't know anyone who has soldered anything, and I don't have access to a soldering iron.

What exactly would I need to do to install this modchip should I decide to go that route? Or is there a better solution that I have not considered?
