Silver V9 + Smartchip
 

Just completed install Silver V9 pal + Smartchip
1st time ive used Smartchip after a bit of head scratching and some help from www.ukmodchips.biz the chip supplier
its all running fine boots nice an quick and every time
only been on test for 3 hours but so far seems a good chip
not quite a Messiah 2 but not bad for price

im getting a smart chip did on my v9 how good dose it boot will it boot just by truning system on open tray put game in close and boot or do u have to reset ? and i heard m2's haveing lots of probs with v9 units

M2 1.33 have been fixed for v9 consoles. Magic V are having awful problems with v9's however.

phew think god i didnt go with the magic V

What awful problems, do you mean killing V9 boards or other problems?? I see lots more posts of M2's killing Mobo's than Magic V's. Tons more!!

The smartchip reacts very similar to the M2 direct boot for ps2 games then into standby and hold till eject flashes for psx and dvd films
seems to boot slightly quicker
I have a V9 with M2 fitted and it works fine
ive always used Messiah in the past they in my opinoin are the best chip but so far the Smartchip comes a close second

as far as i'm aware, there has been no conclusive proof that the M2 nor any other chip are directly resonsible for killin' the v9's...

its a long thread, but if you're interested, read this

fanta and evo good luck with the v9 consoles,hope they dont blow up like some of the other consoles.

Good Luck!

so far i have not heard any cases of a smart chip killing a ps2 all i heard were m2 chips that did that and some magic V M2 was to pricey for me and i read booting stats on ownz that when booting a dvd-r game with v9 smart chip u just trun the system on put game in and it loads just like a origianl :) sleep modes same as the apple hold reset for 5 secs and dvds and psx games boot hold is something like hold reset from stand by till eject ligh comes on

Well, you haven't seen my mail box! Lol!

Magic V chips are having just as hard a time with the V9's as M2. Charlie has an M2 1.33 in his V9 and it's perfectly fine.

Well, I'd like to know as much as possible because I'm going to be doing some and the guys I get my chips from in Canada use magic V's in their own premods and boast about its reliability being better than M2's and such.

It is basically hit and miss with the v9. Charlie is supposed to be getting a fried v9 in the next day or two for evaluation.

ive fitted a few smartchips
only problems found action replay, theres no turn off of chip 5 secs
will be ps1 mode if u hold for 5 secs

never done hard extensive test on what it will boot but games i tried booted fine

as for the dead v9 situation
its a funny one,but i can honestly say that i have no dead v9 yet nor does a few installers i know well

hmm i seen the boot steps on ownz for the smart chip but i cant find it now i think the guy del the post but there was a way to put it in sleep mode or so he said

DMS3
 

anyone know how the dms3 is running on the version 9?
