The latter.Are they expensive to produce or did Team Xecuter and now HWFLY hold a monopoly on the modchip market and charge whatever customers are willing to pay?
don't knowwhere are they sold? aliexpress?
How difficult are they to install? need soldering?
I had the original MATRIX Modchip in my PS2... cost around 150€ including installation IIRC.@hotchocolate5432 R&D have a cost (a lot)...making a modchip is not just like buying some components, put it randomly on a board, shake it and voilà !
the cost of the modchip is not ONLY the components, but everything "behind", not visible (hardware/software).
if a 100$ modchip is too high for you, it's obvious you are not old enough for the PS2 era for example....with a 30 wires modchip at much higher price than an HWFly ! And much harder to install !
HWFly = ~2 full price AAA games
price is fair enough when we know what this modchip will be used to ! No ?

R&D was already done by TX + balika011 and TX was taking less for modchip. HWFly is just reusing their work.Research and development + Risk and Reward
Monopoly, they have a "secret" on his FPGA no body has copied so the only ones with the secret can charge any they want, the prices some day goes to high as 200 USD...Are they expensive to produce or did Team Xecuter and now HWFLY hold a monopoly on the modchip market and charge whatever customers are willing to pay?
