problem with ps2 modchip

greet · #1 10-09-2002, 11:25

I installed the v5/v6 no solder modchip into my ps2 console. I tried to play some psx (not ps2 games cause i haven't backed one up yet) backup games but after the cd tray closed and i pressed x (using the ar2v2 cd2) i just see a black screen ( no noise of cd spinning). What could i have been doin' wrong. I reinstalled the modchip twice. This is an euopean version (belgium. My console specifices are : scph 30004-r PAL.
Any suggestions please?

could it be that the no solder modchip for ps2 v(/v§ pal does not boot any 700 mb cdr's cause i've backed up all my psx games on 700 mb silver cdr's. What would you recommend me : The messiah or the one wire solder mod chip. I don't have any experience with soldering

The Messiah is ALWAYS the one rec. especially if your console will support it. Since you have the same PS2 version as I do, YES get the messiah.... Have someone to install it for you... Depending on where you are located Charlie_PS2 or Dust2Dust could do the install for you.... Or if you are in the US, Bill at Freedomlives.com could do it...
Don't waste your time with the no-solder or the 1 wire mods...
GET YOURSELF A MESSIAH!

Why is everybody saying buy a very very expencive messiah while the one wire modchip workes really great boots really everthing the swap is just a tiny handling and if you want it removed it is very easy and its very low cost so why is everybody saying no to the one wire mod. I cant really see no reason not to buy it.

If you are happy with your one wire modchip and having to swap each time you boot up a game then fair enough it's your call. People here are only offering advice, you dont have to do anything unless you dont want to.

I personally would not settle for 3rd/4th best. My messiah rocks and I would not change it for anything.

The one wire mod is a S#!T chip.... And if you sit down and figure the prices its not really that much cheaper..
1. Gameshark or AR2 how much?
2. Original game with a high TOC how much?
3. One wire mod how much?

Also the one wire mod will require certain games to be patched. The swap thing SUCKS

Now if you cant see any reason not buy it, go ahead and get it.. Then you will be wasting all of your time on the forum trying to figure out if this game needs to be patched, and why this game won't load....ETC.....
The Messiah takes out all the guess work involved... Just copy the game and play (DIRECT BOOT)

I am not saying that the messiah isnt good and bye the way not one of my games have to be patched with the one wire modchip they all work just with a single swap no effort at all. But buying the messiah and putting it in my ps2 by someone proffesional is very expensive. I am not saying anything bad about the messiah so hold youre horses but dont put the modchip down for owning a different modchip. And the big toc problems are already solved even with the nosolder mod so.

Some people are not just giving advice but are putting other modchips down and promoting a certain chip as if he own some stocks

We r NOT putting other modchips down and promoting a certain chip but instant we r trying to help certain people to choise the right chip.At the end its still up to U.
But Just lets me explain:
How much u buy the Sbox with single wire installation?
How much u bought ur AR2/GS?
And if u want to watch the dvd movie how much u buy the region X?
U count it up and if I'm not mistaken it cost u more than u put a messih or a magic 2 ............
Thats way people r willing to get a messiah or a magic 2 bcouse they save $$$$$$/£££££££££

Of course people are going to promote BETTER mod chips.... Why would YOU promote something that doesn't work as well or as easy as something else?
Like I said, YES the Messiah is more expensive than other chips...
BUT you can have it installed for about $60.00 (US)
Messiah Chip $59.00 (US)
Installation $60.00 (US)
Total: $111.00-$143.00 (US) depending on where you get the chip.

One wire mod $20-30 (just a guess, unsure of price)
Installation $probably free
Original Game $50.00 (US)
Gameshark $30-50 (US)
Total: $100.00 roughly give or take a few dollars.

So you're only $11.00-$43.00 cheaper than Messiah and you have to swap....

dust2dust · #14 15-09-2002, 17:28

the messiah/magic rule

1 u say u u need to patch nothing how do u boot an import game
2 your own boot cd lol post it here share with all(if u have it)in my eyes if u have done this u have managed to burn the sony protection or something that is recognised by the ps2 as the protection. all boot cd so far ar,regionx,fmextreme,megamem16 r all pressesd cd r r not copyable(unless if booted behind a chip )because they include the sony protection pressed into the cd (unable to b burnt by a cdwriter. with your boot cd and isobuster we b able to make a self bootable games with no chip needed
SO LETS B HAVING THAT BOOT CD
even the psx modchip on a cd was pressed with sony protection u not able to copy it for the same reason
