I wouldn't think that those with an apple chip would need a patch....

Hmmm...... Let us know Bighap.... (Could this be the first one that the Apple won't play???)
I hope not.... The Apple chip seems to be a very reliable chip...

The Messiah 2 and Original Messiah plays them perfectly.....

Well I picked up Splinter Cell today and have good news. In case you don't already know, you can disable your apple by holding reset while booting for about 5 seconds. Here are my results.

Original with normal boot----> Boots fine but get RSOD when starting a new game.

Original with apple disabled---->Boots fine and starts new game fine.

Backup with normal boot---->Boots fine but get RSOD when starting a new game.

Backup with apple disabled---->RSOD. Duh!

I thought no this can't be. The apple is perfect and I am going to proove it.....and I did! I found a loophole.

For booting a backup do a normal boot. When starting a new game if you choose to save, let it save. It will then say saved correctly with the option to hit ok. Simply push X and the open tray button on your ps2 simultaneously. You will now just have a black screen. Let your tray stay open for a second or two then close the tray. Your game now boots perfectly.

Do this same method when starting a new game without saving as well. You will be asked do you want to save. Say no. Then you will be asked are you sure? Highlight yes and hit X and the open tray button simultaneously. Then close your tray after a second or two.

This also must be done when loading a saved game. Just highlight your saved game and hit X and open tray button simultaneously. Then close your tray after a second or two.

I still have no complaints about the apple.

Nice work Bighap =)

I'm sure there are at least one or two games even the Mesiah 2 has problems with. Maybe no now but there will be.

Apple Kicks A**! =)

How the hell did you figure this out?

No idea. I was just trying a few things such as waiting for a second, two seconds, and three seconds then hiting eject, but that didn't work. So I tried hitting them together and it worked! I was pretty excited. Lots of people at ps2newz were having this problem too. I was sure to let them know about it too. It also works for people having this problem with their Magic chips.

does messiah have any problems yet???

bighap · #12 22-04-2003, 14:13

No.

Uhhh, one of my ps2's is chipped with a magic clone (magic 4 aka NH3) Annyway, it can play all the games that are thought to have problems, including splinter cell, vice city and kingdom hearts. Is this possible or do I have the wrong chip?

bighap · #14 22-04-2003, 15:10

I believe it. It wouldn't suprise me that magic clones are better than the real magics.

i guess that trick wont work on a v7 no solder cause it still gets red screen of death when i boot it that way
