It's really weird, but I still prefer my Messiah 2 from my clone anyday:D

I think this only affects v7 machines.

Bighap has a v7 machine from what I can tell

UrrBodyH8sMe, thats because no solders work entirely differently than so-swap chips. No-swaps use the bios and CD\DVD controller to determine when and what to inject into the SCex wire thus fooling the system into thinking that it is a valid disc. No solders just interupt the eject process so that the machine doesn't really know you are swapping the disc, no code injected. basically no solders are the same as the knife trick except that the tray ejects for you. Not sure if this exactly what happens just what I have been able to gather and form in my head.

Yeah I have a v7. JimmyJones of ps2newz has a v7 with a magic 2 and the game works fine for him. v7 messiah 2 users also don't have this problem. Guess it just affects magic 3.x, apple, and no solders.

Re: Hehe
 

Good luck.........

The original Messiah STILL boots EVERYTHING........
So I'm sure the Messiah 2 will also......

Apple is an AWESOME chip.... NO DOUBT.......

BUT..... There is nothing better than the MESSIAH..........

i will just have to beat that game on my v6 no solder till maybe a patch comes out to fix this on the v7's cause it works fine on my v6 cause that seems like alot of trouble just to play and load ur game on the v7 im awaitng my v7 pro installed apple from [email protected] but i will just play that game on my v6 :) and my others on the apple

I recently backed up this game and I have a V4 ps2 with an apple chip. I didn't let the game get as far as the "Start new game" screen before I assumed that it was booting correctly. I will test this game on my machine and post the results as soon as I can. :)

hi bighap
Just wanted to ask u that
I already hav a Magic 3.1
And almost all my backups work fine
But i hav to press reset once or twice to load the game
And everything works fine
I am having a Mini apple pro( new one)
So should i get the mini installed or stay with 3.1
Thank u

Update:
Splinter Cell Works Flawlessly on my V4 Apple. Backed up on Ritek media.

V4 + Apple is a GREAT combination for me.

- Gurm

Yeah this is only an issue with v7 machines, as it does the double check.

Bighap tell me now should i switch to the mini or stay with magic
Till now i dont hav any prob with magicBootsevry game
So wat do u say
Should i stay with it or switch to mini
Thank u

I have a v7 with a Magic 3.1 and yes it doesn't work for me either.
It will get to the start game...and when you start a new game. the screen will go black and then go to RSOD.

So bighap is that the only method that works on a v7 or is there other ways..


Looks like it's time to sell my PS2 and get a new one with a new chip (but i dunno what chips are availabile in my hometown in Australia)

Just uninstall the chip - V7's are great. I'd go for the Matrix Infinity...

is it possible to uninstall a modchip?? - goes to show how much i know lol

I was thinking of getting a new PS2 and getting a Magic V chip installed (i hope i can get this modchip in Australia)...what do you think?
