magic 3, messiah 2, sniper

Hi

I`ve now looked around which chips I can get in my area incl. built into the PS2.

But I can not decide which one I should take when I buy the ps2.

1) Magic 3 can I get everywhere.

2) Messiah 2 is really a problem - I can not get it in my area.

3) Sniper - I do not know what it is ?

Who knows anything about the sniper chip - the shop says it is the same like the messiah2 the only differenz is that it is for the new ps 2 v7 boards.

=> Here is a picture of the sniper chip :

Knows something about it ?

Thank you for your reply.

Best greatings.

It's identical looking to the Ripper chip. Find out the boot procedure and see if it's the same as the Ripper. Have you tried contacting charlie_ps2 or dust2dust regarding getting a Messiah 2 from them?

Hi

What do you mean with the "boot procedure" ?PSX CDR Backups

The shop says direct boot for the following :
PAL
PSX CDR Backups NTSC
PSX CD Originale PAL
PSX Backups NTSC
PS2 PAL CDR Backups
PS2 PAL DVD Backups
PS2 NTSC CDR Backups
PS2 NTSC DVD Backups
PS2 PAL CD Originale
PS2 PAL DVD Originale
PS2 NTSC CD Originale
PS2 NTSC DVD Originale

System:
PAL V3 - PAL V7

Do you mean this ?

I am not living in the UK so it is not possible to get a messiah.

What bighap means by boot procedure is the buttons to press to boot the game, even though it is direct boot.

Hi folks,

Is the Ripper a good chip? My brother is planning to mod his V4 with this chip. The installer told me that the Ripper chip is based on the Messiah 1 and is even better because some bugs are corrected.

Is the Messsiah 1 chip a direct boot chip? for all pSX and PS2 (including DVD-R(W)?

please a quicq answer because we can still cancel the aoppointment en ordering of the Ripper chip.

thnx and

Nope it is NOT like the Messiah 2. It is like the original Messiah. Huseyin: tell your brother to get a Messiah 2. Messiah 1 technology is old. The chips cost about the same too. You probably won't be able to play -rws. Most v1-v4 don't. v5-v7 will. Yes it is direct boot.

Bighap:

the guy who's going to install the Ripper in the V4 (I dont really know the guy) refuses to mod with the messiah 2. He thinks it's too risky on a V4 (or he's not capable of installing it !!).

Guys here in Holland ask a fortune to mod with the M2. They are asking 160 Euro including the M2 Eur chip !!

It's not cheap. Who can help my brother with a M2 eur ???
PS: Are you sure that the ripper will not play DVD-R's??

lol the messiah 2 is safe as can be
only reason he wants to fit the ripper is because he has stock of them cant get rid of them

Huseyin · #10 08-01-2003, 08:27

hahaha, maybe it is Dust2Dust.

He told me he won't take the risk. He's installing 2 M2's in two ps2's of mine, a V5 and a V6. That's not a problem he said...

I dont know anyone hu will do the V4 for a reasonable price in the Netherlands.....

ciaoo

everyone charges more for v4 and older they harder to do

but i only charge £10 extra for v4 (no gaurantee on your laesr reading dvdr) but i always check by playing few films on dvdr before i chip it,if it wont play the films then the laser wont play games dvdr without adjustment or replacement

some v4 lasers were good i had neo2.2 in one for over year then upgraded it to a messiah1 first day they were released fitted and stickered by ct,i sold it few weeks ago still playing everything without any problems

chris69 · #12 08-01-2003, 13:02

Is the sniper chip = the ripper chip now ?

Or what is it ? Messiah ?(like the shop says?)

Where can I find a picture of the M2 ?

What is with the DMS3 chip is it okay ?

Why is it NOT possible for you to get the Messiah???

I don't live in the UK either, I live in the US and I have both..... The Messiah & Messiah 2....

You can purchase the Messiah 2 from Charlie_PS2 or Dust2Dust...

There are currently only two horses on the track.

Magic 3 which is cheap and has its share of problems but would rate in the 90% for functionality and is excellent value for money.

Messiah 2 which boots everything Magic 3 can't and is more expensive.

chris69 · #15 09-01-2003, 03:16

hi

I want a good chip and not save Money and having shit then.
I need a good horse for a hard game-track.

I want to play games with Ps2 and they should work without killing the station. And I do not want to be angry about the chip I fixed into the PS2.
But I wouldn`t buy a chip if it expensiver than the PS2 thats my limit.

And I live in Germany and the shops stopped selling the messiah 2 or they do not get it any more.
