modchip help
 

I had a magic 3.1 installed about 3 weeks ago, all seemed ok, games loaded after a couple of resets. Then I stared playing original timesplitters2 i link with my friend game wouldnt load finally started after 10 resets but while playing i heard clicking sounds.Day after i played again game wont read at all either will any game just clicking sounds. must b the chip, anyone agree? If so what should i get. Apple or Messiah2

Could be the chip. What version ps2 do you have?

I have a v4 pal unit. if i replace it should i get apple or messiah. im from australia and apple is alot cheaper but i want a good chip what do u think

It could be the chip, or your v4's laser might just be cooked. :(

Could be the laser as I cant play anything.Seems funny that all worked well till I put in the chip. Can modchips stuff lasers up?
If its the magic chip what should I replace it with Apple or messiah

You could have blown a fuse. Do a bit of searching, there were a bunch of tips posted a month or so ago.

The problem was a double whammy the magic 3.1 died and my laser also died. Any ideas about which way to go, should i try magic again or try the apple2,messiah too expensive. p.s does anyone know a good reliable chip seller in australia?

If the Messiah is too expensive, I recommend the Apple 100%. :)

I haven't yet found a game that can't be made to boot with it, although Splinter Cell can be problematic IF you have a V7 console. My V4 console boots everything, 100% of the time.

What type of problems with splinter cell? As im about to get a version 7 pal machine, its going to cost too much to fix my v4 machine, however splinter cell worked fine with my magic

The Splinter Cell problem is only with the original apple in a v7 system I believe. look here

Yeah. V7 only, "apple" only (as far as I know, haven't tested a mini pro or an apple 2 myself yet).
