Xenosaga

Slacker · #1 12-06-2003, 14:33

Hey everybody,

I bought the us version of Xenosaga a couple of months ago but I didn't get it to work on my european version 5 Magic 3 modded ps 2. After checking out the forum here I came to realize that is was probably the magic 3 chip that screwed things up. Anyways, I tried a gameshark to see if that worked, it didn't work, then a couple of weeks ago my brother got a version 7 ps2 with messiah 2 but that didn't work either! What I wanna ask is if anyone else has had this problem or if someone knows how to fix this? I'd hate to find out the disk is f****ed.
Any help appreciated.

According to Charlie a V7 with a Messiah 2 installed should boot Xenosaga, and a Magic 3 should boot it if you use an AR2 first.

It sounds like your game is faulty, can you get a replacment copy ?.

No that's the thing, I bought it over ebay thinking it would be ok as long as it was factory sealed. DAMN =(

Well, thanks for helping out

Try holding reset for around 5 seconds when booting. See if that does anything.

You have to use AR2 with a no swap modchip to play some games???? Bah I was hoping this wouldnt happen like it did for ps1

For some of the lesser mods that don't support dvd9 well or at all, you need to use an AR2.
