Polosolo,

I'm not sure if this helps any, but I do have some info regarding magic 2 chips and incompatibility.

Some of my friends who own ps 2's (older versions, I think) chipped with the magic 2 complained that the screen was wonky, as in squinted, when they played (pirated) ps 1 games on it. But they did have colour. This is because their ps 1 games, being ntsc, were incompatible with their pal machines.

I remember an article from some e-catalog company selling mod-chips stating that the new messiah has an added feature of providing the same screen-size regardless of the game being ntsc or pal. This could only mean that the other brands of mod-chips suffer from the "wonky screen" problem. Perhaps your problem may have something to do with it.

Hope this may help in some way.
