First ever pictures of a NEW device which will mod any PS2/Two via the use of a memory card ONLY!

However, it would seem as if VAST will not be the only product with such capabilities! Today we have received an e-mail from a team which claims they have been working on their own PS2/PStwo mod chip memory card device for TWO YEARS, and with the announcement of VAST, the time had come to officially announce their offering.

Whenever any audio is being sent to a sound card (even, several users report, while paused), network performance is instantly reduced. As soon as the audio is stopped, the throughput begins to climb to its expected speed. It’s a tough one for users - what do you pick, sound or speed? So much for multi-tasking.”
