What i'm getting at is there are some games that no swap mods don't even load. psxmodchips reported a lot the magic series don't boot and sorry but if I can't even play my original gta vice city without it freezing thats a bit crap really isn't it?????
As for the action replay 2 getting scratched up...sorry but thats a crap. If you don't look after your disks it's you're own problem. and how it would get scratched up with a nosolder mod I couldn't see it. With neo2.2 possibly seeing as you're holding reset down all the time.
I don't know your prices etc but nowhere hear could do a ps2 noswap for a FEW dollars more. In manchester you can freely pick up noswap mod for £10 then £10 for swap magic 2 disk or £20 for action replay.
So it's either £20 or £30. whereas there is no way any installers around here (i know them personally) will do messiah 2 or magic 3 installed for less than £80
Yes they not perfect but neither is magic 3.
I have been doing installs since the day the first saturn mod came out, and followed backups since commodore64 tapes
Just I used to find this forum was helpful to anyone regardless of which mod they have. Any1 who posts with anything other than messiah or magic problems just gets comments such as "It's crap get a messiah2" i advise the messiah 2 over all and have a personal machine finally as from today with messiah2.
But why not help the peeps that don't have the finances.
