View Full Version : Today i am planning to get a magic 4 any...
Hi peopple around here
Today i am planning to get a MAgic 4
So would u Guys tell me wat all games to test first for which i get to know that the chip really works
Thanks for the help
:)
I wouldn't get a Magic chip - They don't boot any of the more popular games (GTA: Vice City etc...) Get an M2. Much better and steer clear of Magic completely!

Magic 4 ain't a Magic chip. I can't imagine why anybody would wish to get aner than DMS3 or Messiah 2 unless $10 matters.
Ya i think ur correct
Could u name some games which u personally think can boot perfectly on M2 and not on any other chips
Pleez name some games so that i can test on this magic 4 which u think cannot boot on any other modchip other than M2
Thanks charlie

Had to edit your post UrrBodyH8sMe. You know the ever famous mod rule. Use PM.
@ PS2, you would be very happy with an apple. They are inexpensive and extremely reliable.

Why does everyone dawg on the magic chips? I have a friend who has one and has never had a single problem with it ever. Is there no one who has had a good experience with it?
I recently had my v5 chipped with a magic 3.1 I probably would have gotten a messiah but the guy who did it is the only person in my town who does it and he cant get M2 chips so i went with magic. And i cant afford to ship my ps2 off, plus I have a hard time tusring people.
So cant anyone say anything good about the M3.1 chip, cos u guys r freaking me out im starting to think I wont be able to burn any new games when they come out!!
NO. Because they don't boot the latest, more popular games. When there are better chips out there for the money, why not 'dawg on the magic chips' and just get an M2?
Hi people thanks for ur wonderful replies
Just kinda one more question
Which chip should i get
Apple 2 pro or the mini apple pro
Thanks
I have a Magic 3 and have never had a single problem with it. I noticed someone said that you can't play the latest games like GTA: Vice City, Xenosaga etc. and I've this game and the only problem I have is it might freeze after like 8 or 9 hours of constant playing. I know this isn't even the topic anymore but just saying Magic's aren't really bad
Hai pleez answer my above question
Which chip to get
Is it apple 2 pro or the mini apple pro
Thank u
I have heard bad things about the mini. Don't know much about the apple 2 pro. I can tell you that the original apple is awesome.
Hai pleez could u tell me wat type of bad things u hjav heard about this chip
Pleez share them with me i am kinda feeling very scared now
Dont want to waste my money
Thank u
Hai bighap
I am talking about mini apple pro and not the mini apple
These 2 modchips r different
were u talking about mini apple or the mini apple pro
I hav canceled my order
And that person is ready to ship apple 2 pro also
So which one do u prefer
Mini apple pro or the apple 2 pro
I was talking about the regular apple mini. Don't know anyone who has tried the apple 2 pro or the mini apple pro. Maybe Charlie can do some tests with these chips or knows how they perform.
Hai thanks for the help guys
Purchesd a magic 3.6 for 26$ installed
I think it was not a bad deal
Umm... $26 INSTALLED?
Please tell me you mean that it's pre-wired, and not that someone is putting it in your machine for $26 total?
'Cuz that's WAY too low. So low that you're likely to never see your machine again.
- Gurm
no i already got it installaed in front of me
In india labour is a way tooo cheap
They r professional installers installing chips for 9$
Thats not much thats y i got a miagic 3.6 and till now everything works
all the backups which i had all of them hav been tested and work so far without any problem
Ok WHEW!
Sorry about that. Sometimes people come in here and they're like "I sent my PS2 out to get modded. They're selling me a Messiah 2 installed. Total cost is $30, is that a good deal?" and we're like "NO NO NO YOU'RE GETTING YOUR PS2 STOLEN!"
- Gurm
Man the installer was a pro
Do u know he even didnot see the diagram to install the chip
He just did it on his own in kinda 5 minutes
He installs around 10 chips a day
And only charges 10$ for it
Thats a waay too cheap
I hope the chip works good for me
Thanks for ur help guys

I also have a Magic 3.0 and have had no problems playing games.

Have you tried a dvd9 or Kingdom Hearts? Those are two known probs the magic 3.0 has.
No i tried Devil may cry 2
Its also a DVD9 game
Isnt it
Nope, it is a dvd5. Try Xenosaga or Gran Turismo Concept 2002 Tokyo Geneva (JAP). They are both dvd9.
I have a Magic 3 and Kingdom Hearts plays no freeze as does Gta VC original also no freeze ever! MGS Substance (DVD9) boots fine. I find DVD9 works best if you boot it in "ps1/movie mode hold reset for 3 seconds" Magic is a fine chip (if you are lucky enought to get a working one). Also I have over 40 rips (due to the old neo 2.2) and have all the rips Charlie says will not work on his magic 3 test but work on mine.
Hai bighap i am having little problem with Splinter cell (magic 3.6)
I hav to press reset around 5 to 6 times to load this game
Wat would be the problem
All the other games work fine by pressing reset once but not Splinter ceelll
Could u tell me the problem
mamajo1:
Some people got lucky and got VERY good Magic chips. Most people got Taiwanese copies that suck balls. You are one of the lucky ones. Count your blessings!
PS2:
What's so hard to understand? Magic sucks.
- Gurm
hi gurm
Magics r great chips
But some get lucky but some dont
But i am in the middle of it
Now i just booted splinter cell
Now this time i had to press just reset 2 times to play splinter cell
Let me go and try again
It just booted normally as other games do
But all the other backups like GTA vice city , Smackdown and all mmy other backups and rips boot fine
Its just the Splinter cell
Which i hav to press twice
But i guess its not a bad chip
It boots my backups 95%
mamajo1:
Are you sure that you do not have a magic 3.6? Also you should not be able to boot DVD9 PS2 games in PSX\DVD mode at all. It is possible that you have a magic 3.6 and are disabling the chip when holding it down that long. thus allowing your DVD9 game to work.
PS2 and others:
Many people as of late have had trouble booting splinter cell. many of those that thought that it booted OK had trouble when they tried to start a game. I have tested on a Messiah 2 and DMS3 and it plays fine, I have heard of trouble though will all other chips.
Hi headly
I didnot say that i was having problem with Splinter cell
I just said that i had to press reset button twice or thrice to play the game
It just boots fine with me
And i think this is not a problem though
Magic chips r really good
And also headly could u name some games which u think will play without any problem on DMS3 and M2p but not on Magic
Pleez list some old games though not the new ones like xenogasa kingdom hearts etc
Tell me some other games which hav double checks ( Splinter cell if i am not wrong)

So in a way you are having a bit of a problem as it would be better if it booted on one reset. :)
Magic might be good but Messiah 2 is better if you read over these forums 95 % of the people say messiah 2 is better, that's why im getting a M2 fitted in my next ps2.

Yes I am sure I have a 100% real magic 3. magic 3.6 is a CLONE. In my opinion the worst chip on the market.
Just to let you know the magic 3 will boot ORIGINALS in movie mode. You cannot play backups in movie mode but you can't back up a full DVD9 game without ripping which once ripped can be played like any other DVD backup. Also some members who have had problems with KH and GTA VC freezing have tried playing their originals in movie mode and have been able to play freeze free. Don't judge people on their post count.
Not all Magics will do this.
The big problem with Magic chips, in my book, is not that they are technically inferior (although they are) but rather that the odds of you getting a good one (or even just a genuine one) are slim to none.

hi mama jo
The chip i hav (magic 3.6) is a very good chip
It boots my backups 95%
I got this chip caause i got a good deal ie 26$ installed
I also know that M2pro is the best choice
Chris i would also recommend u to buy this M2pro
Its better than magic 3.6
Although Gurm is very correct
There r 90% chances that u may get a clone of magic if u order cause the people those who buy these magic chips also dont know that they r original or not
So i would suggest u to buy M2P
Thank u
