Get a Magic V for your 500001 Model, it works on it flawlessly. I would highly reccomend it. The only different in Magic V and Messiah 2 is that Messiah 2 works on all versions, but Magic V only works on 7-9 and Magic V is much cheaper. Get a Magic V, it wont let you down.

www.modchipman.com <--- get it from there

Ottoman, the Magic V is every bit as good as the Messiah 2. I have had no trouble with it. All that counts is for your games to boot everytime right ? Well Magic V does that, plus its alot cheaper. I agree that the M2 was the best, but now it has a little competitition

I don't want to sound like I am knocking the messiah team but I do kind of agree with jmj2500. Even though I myself have a M2 in my machine.... there is allot of competition for the messiah team these days. As a matter of fact they are getting put down a bit lately with this whole V9 blunder. I don't believe it is a big deal as I am sure they will have a A-1 chip in no time. But also precisionmods.com has stopped supplying M2's because of there lack of consistent quality and not replacing defective chips. But like I said the messiah team is not the only top dog any more. I myself have become fond of the apple chips ....and look at the mars team they seam to have a mod that is working on all V9 50k machines. Anyway like I said this is in no way a bag on messiah as I myself would recommend one...but there are just as good of alternatives and even cheaper ones.

I don't believe this. The magic has been plagued from beginning to end with bad chips with bad features that don't deliver the goods that other chips can. Magic has always been a kind of cheap compromise compared to other chips.

Okay, so they've finally got it right with version 5 but they still have a long way to go to win back confidence that they've destroyed with p1ss poor other chips.

M2 1.31 has a minor glitch. It still boots everything, okay so u have to reset between swapping dvd-r's, so what. At least they were big enough to admit this was a mistake and promise a M2 1.32 that would sort this problem.

Every time the magic chip has failed to perform its just a shrug an tough sh1t attitude. Thats the chip you've got guys.

Let me just close this by saying that I got a version 9 sat here waiting for M2 1.32. I would never even consider droppin a magic in it. Magic is just riskin that sumfin won't boot lata on.
