    When I try to solder the chip on the board, am I going to run into the problem of wax being on the board like on the PS2? Im installing the Duo Q, by the way.

    There isn't any wax on the board... rosin maybe, but not wax.

    As far as I could tell, the board had nothing preventing new solder connections.

    there wont be, just use the flux on it. pretty easy install. i just done it like 1hour ago and tried 3 games. All worked.

    prince of persia - two thrones is a little laggy when loading the scenes and cinematics though.

    Maybe you have the PAL version? (Or NTSC if you live in Europe)
    Or you could have burnt the game at the wrong speed?

    Anyway, thanks for the help. I just hope the chip arrives today.

    Everything is elementary compared to PS2's nightmarish 20+ wire installs.
