Devil May Cry 2 and Magic 3.1 problem.... plz help

[saulin74]

I just burned Devil May Cry 2 (2Cds). Well I burned CD1 and when I try it with my Magic 3.1 it boots no problem however the intro movie freezes. Pressing start allows me to play the game though.

I haven't burned CD2 yet so I don't know if it will do the same. I'm using Verbatim 2X DVD-R media.

Now Shinobi works perfect. Movie plays fine. Does Devil may Cry 2 detect the modchip?

Also isn't the Magic 3.1 supose to turn itself off after a little while?

I can leave the game running for a long time and still the movie will freeze always.

Also I heard that by pressing and holding reset for 4 seconds when booting the game will turn the chip off after booting. Can anyone confirm this?

Wouldn't that just make the chip boot PS1 games?

Also holding the reset button too long just causes the game not to be detected. Or to be detected as a backup and not a original game.

PS1 games boot and play fine 100% of the time it seems
CD-R PS2 backups seem to play almost 100% of the time. I think it depends on media type. Using Memorex I got a game that froze. Using other cheap ass media worked perfect for Gradius III & IV.

I burned Vice City which was 3 files, .gi, (11).gi, and (12).gi and the game was not even recognized. It just did not boot mmm.

So to resume this. Which games have the most problems with the Magic 3.1 and is there a workarround?

Can the Magic 3.1 actually turn itself off?
