The best mod chip is the Messiah 2

The newer the ps2, better it is (Except version6). Get a version 7 from your local Walmart, you'll be ok.

You have a v7 which is excellent. The Magic chips have their share of problems. I would stay away from them. Messiah 2 is king.

Have youi tried to boot your DVD9 games by holding reset for 4 seconds to turn off the chip. If you have a Magic 3.1 this should work. If it does you might save yourself some money.

So you are you not able to boot at all or are you getting a black & white screen and/or a rolling screen?
