Messiah Madness!

[DeVante992]

I have a v4 NTSC un-modded PS2.

I'm in the market for a modchip (I'm tired of dealing with my PSX plugmod). It's clear to me that the Messiah is the one to get.

Looking around, though, I see plenty of clones and "coming soons".

Which one are we supposed to get?!

According to this thread (http://www.help-forums.com/showthread.php?threadid=21289), the only REAL Messiahs are the ones that are called Messiah and nothing else (ie: no Messiah 2, Messiah Blue, Messiah LE).

What is the harm in getting a clone?

What are the benefits in getting the original instead of a clone?

Is this (http://www.lik-sang.com/catalog/product_info.php?category=0&products_id=1867&) an original?

Also, is it me, or is the official Messiah website (http://www.china-messiah.com) not very helpful?

Thanks!

That thread was the G-man himself. The Messiah Blue is unproven and looking at the install diagrams, I have some cause to worry. The pins are different from the normal Messia as regards the all important CD/DVD Controller.

So my advice is to stick with the real Messiah and follow the G-man's advice.

Charlie, I have written you email, and you said that you'd sell me a Messiah LE (unless the Messiah 2 comes out in the near future, then you'll substitute it with that).

According to that thread, though, the Messiah LE and the Messiah 2 are not original Messiah products.

So I'm a little confused now!

I've always used the term US Messiah, never Messiah LE. I've used the term Messiah 2 for the Ful Feature Messiah version.

All of the products to which I refer are original Messiah versions.

Er, sorry, my mistake. I checked again and you said "Messiah Lite" and not Messiah LE.

I got them mixed up (I though Lite and LE were the same).

Sooooooooo... the Messiah US that's out soon (the one I linked to above) is the full featured Messiah? With Macrovision defeat, etc?

If not, which one is the BEST?
