my advice would have to b sell v3 buy a
v4
For those who have an interest in US machines & Messiah clones, here is how to
tell if you can install Messaih to your US box.

SCPH-30001 V4 is compatible:

1) if the DATECODE is not a 1C (like 1B or 1A you are fine)
2) if the DATECODE is 1C check your serial #
-if it starts with U0 or U2, its not compatible. (yet they are working on it)
U5/U6 are compatible.

How do you know what version US PS2 you got?

Check the back label for a SCPH-3xxxxx and under the serial number area is
DATECODE info as well.

but if not best solution for a v3 is the origa chip

Does anyone know when an upgrade of the messiah modchip might occur. Thanks.

Thats a question we all would like to know the answer to. I dont believe it will happen anytime soon but you never know.
