[superdude]

I had a magic 3.1 installed about 3 weeks ago, all seemed ok, games loaded after a couple of resets. Then I stared playing original timesplitters2 i link with my friend game wouldnt load finally started after 10 resets but while playing i heard clicking sounds.Day after i played again game wont read at all either will any game just clicking sounds. must b the chip, anyone agree? If so what should i get. Apple or Messiah2

[bighap]

Could be the chip. What version ps2 do you have?

[superdude]

I have a v4 pal unit. if i replace it should i get apple or messiah. im from australia and apple is alot cheaper but i want a good chip what do u think

It could be the chip, or your v4's laser might just be cooked.

Could be the laser as I cant play anything.Seems funny that all worked well till I put in the chip. Can modchips stuff lasers up?
If its the magic chip what should I replace it with Apple or messiah

[Gurm]

You could have blown a fuse. Do a bit of searching, there were a bunch of tips posted a month or so ago.

The problem was a double whammy the magic 3.1 died and my laser also died. Any ideas about which way to go, should i try magic again or try the apple2,messiah too expensive. p.s does anyone know a good reliable chip seller in australia?

[Gurm]

If the Messiah is too expensive, I recommend the Apple 100%.

I haven't yet found a game that can't be made to boot with it, although Splinter Cell can be problematic IF you have a V7 console. My V4 console boots everything, 100% of the time.

What type of problems with splinter cell? As im about to get a version 7 pal machine, its going to cost too much to fix my v4 machine, however splinter cell worked fine with my magic

[bighap]

The Splinter Cell problem is only with the original apple in a v7 system I believe. look here

[Gurm]

Yeah. V7 only, "apple" only (as far as I know, haven't tested a mini pro or an apple 2 myself yet).
