Probems with Stella Deus and SMT: Digital Devil Saga

[Jay_83]

how would using the original discs prove if a chip is outdated?

Because the chip read's the same info regardless if it's the original or not. Once it picks up a)what type of disc it is (ie cd/dvd) it then looks for the ps2 hex boot code.

If it finds the boot code then it will use the chip to "fool" it thinking its an original.

It does this regardless of if it's the original or not .....if ur chip is working properly!

Jay 83, a million thanks for enlightening me! Never really knew how modchips worked until now.

Hi, lufcfan!

Geoduck - Where are you in the world my friend?

Jumping in and out of Asia and SE Asia--that's why I didn't bother to insert my country of origin in the reg. Currently traversing between Malaysia and Singapore. Don't usually stay for more than a year, though.

As for the originals, idiot housemate of mine took it upon himself to lend them to a friend of mine while I was out, thinking I won't need them for a while. So much for keeping my originals safe from harm. Fool wouldn't have even told me if I hadn't searched and found them missing.

Guess I won't find out until next week, when I have time to get them back.

But just judging from the make of the modchip (Magic 2), do you think it's getting too outdated to play some of the newer games? Ironically, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Predator Concrete Jungle, etc. work fine. Only these two particular Japanese RPG's are acting up.

A thousand thanks,
