Hey there, Ottoman.
Hmmmm, PS3 still 3 years away ( 4 years in UK) and if this is first game u have problem with then this is first of many in my humble opinion!!
Simple answer, get a messiah 2 fitted. If u looking for cheap solution and live in uk then follow link on my signature and we'll see wot we can do.
Well, a guy can wish, can't he?
While I'd love to get another more reliable, versatile chip for my machine when my account fills up again, it's pretty difficult where I'm currently living (currently residing in Asia, and will probably continue to live here for quite a while. And whatever they told you about the piracy here, you'll only believe it when you see it). You see, the shops here all sell pre-modded PS 2's, and won't sell the modchips by themselves--which, in any case, I haven't the slightest idea how to install one.
The worst thing is, the people at the shops don't even know what chips are installed in their machines (shop-owner told me it the chip in my PS 2 is a Magic 2, but it's probably an Apple for all I know)! Guess I'll just have to ask around the shops and see if there's anyone who'll change the chip for me at a price.
All I can do now is pray to God that they won't be churning out anymore DVD9's in the meantime
Thanks for the advice, man!
