Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (PROBLEMS)
 

Hi guys, I am having troubles with this game!!! The original boots, but when I go to Start Single Player........ the screen goes black! and stays there!!!

Whats wrong with this.

I have a V7 Pal Ps2 with a Messiah 2 Modchip!!!!
Is this game protected to detect modchips?
Thanx :mad:

Ok,

are you saying its the origonal or a backed up version.

It sounds like the laser give it a quick clean and it will be fine

the problem is that the v7 double checks the TOC on the DVD...if the modchip is turned on it will give you a RSOD...if it's an original, then the chip needs to be in disabled mode to play..

If it's a backup...then you gotta make sure that the Messiah 2 is able to get past the v7 checks...

if your chip is the M2 Pro...then it should be all good! just clean the laser..

I've got the same problem...i've got a v7 with a Magic 3.1 - means i'm taking out the Magic chip and installing a new chip....I don't to experience this again

I got a funny feeling that new games are going to be like this for old chips like my Magic 3.1

I am playing with the original!!!.
And yes, I had to turn the chip off to play it, with the chip off, works fine!
With the chip on, I managed to get past the start, and the loading of a save game, but when it loads another stage, RSOD!!!! BOOM!!!

Really I am actually wondering if the guy put a M2 on my PS2!!!
Isn't there any patches available to correct this problem?!?!?!

thanx for the answers guys!

this seems very odd to me. Do you know how to safely dismatle a ps2? i would check for dust around the ps2 board and modchip and laser. it may be shorting out.

nope seaneyb2003, I have NO IDEA how to safely desmantle a PS2!

The thing I didn't mention before is that when I got past the start of the game, (when you choose single player or multi player), and the load of a savegame. I did it with the Eject Trick. That is Ejecting and then put it back in after a second.!!!!!

And i don't think its dust seaneyb2003, all my other games work perfect.
thanx again!

i havent a idea whats wrong i would check the m2 could be playing up.

If it works fine disabled why dont u just leave it. when i want to play some games on my ps2 origonals with the duo booted it sometimes goes to the rsod. What i do is simply press the reset button. then it works

I have a Messiah 2 and it plays ALL 2x TOC games perfectly. May be a dodgy chip or a dirty laser...

Thanks for the answers guys, I am gonna check with the guy and see what did he put in!!!!.

And yes, I think I will have to use my original :mad:

Thanks again

i have the same problem with splinter cell
and it´s a messiah 2 pro..
so dont know..
afeter single player the games gos to black screen boots and get´s stuck there...

the intro movies and everything runs smooth..
driver 3 works great for me..
and all games except onimusha Blade Warriors and this one.. now
so maybe is my m2 pro version?

yup sounds like a m2 problem :(

My V7 with Messiah 2 PRO works perfectly well with Splinter Cell... Booting and playing...

maybe it depends what m2 version they have? did u ever think of that. Maybe its a lil buggy. Also lufc what splinter cell was it?

Splinter Cell 1 - using a Messiah 2 1.33b Pro... Never thought it was Pandora Tomorrow. I'll borrow my mates disc 2morrow and test it. He has a Magic V...

ahhh gotcha ;) lol. Yea i think it might be the m2 with some slight issues.

Or they don't really have an M2....

I've read someone that's using an M2 on a v7 and it's working fine for him.

could be an old version or even the new m2 v2

dude when did u get the ps2 modded and who did it for u?

Its not the Messiah 2 thats causing the problem.....

Working perfectly on my V7.....

Could be like Bighap said....

Might not be a "genuine" Messiah 2...

I Dont think its the chip either, My guess is cheap media or a bad burn. The original could also be damaged in some way.

Same problem with Splinter Cell & Onimusha Blade Warriors
(Original & backed up version won´t work!)

What´s goin on?
Is it the Chip that causes that problem?

Never had such a problem before with any of my games :confused:


v7 PS2 with Magic 3.1

Magic 3.1 did have bugs so your problem MAY be chip related.

THX for the quick answer ;)

maybe is the version of the messiah..
if it wasnt a genuine messiah we will had problems with other games 2.
how strange that splinter cell pandoras is the one making problems only..

by the way...
maybe is the version like someone said up there..
:confused:

or maybe is just time to go with dms3...
messiah is getting outdated very quickly

...and if you've got a DMS3, maybe its time to upgrade to a Matrix Infinity. I did borrow my mates backup and it worked perfectly for me on my M2 1.33b. At the end of the day, M2 may be getting on a little, but as a chip, it does what the average gamer wants...

I agree :)
