One thing first. You have to have the 30001 no r or 35001 v4. If so you then have to check for gap or no gap bios. I'm told 1a and 1b date codes have gap although im not sure if this is right. To be safe pop your ps2 open and look at the bios chip. If it has a gap between the legs its a gap bios and messiah will work on it. Now if you have gap you will need a thing called the ntsc color fix, its a small chip you solder onto the messiah, otherwise ps1 games will have their colors all messed up. Even with the fix the colors are still washed out and bland looking. Right now im in the same boat as you. v4 with gap and I cant decide if I should get the messiah, wait for the us messiah (hopefully next month), or wait for the magic chip that will work with our version of ps2. They have a 1-3, 5-6, and 7 but no friggen 4!!!! (out yet) /shrug hope I could shed some light on this for you.
