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
