Messiah 1 Vs Messiah 2
I have been offered a version 5 PS2 modded with a messiah 1 chip. Is there any reason I would want the messiah 2 over the messiah 1 on the version 5 console?

I guess this would just depend on price.....
The only advantage that I have found with the Messiah 2 over the Original Messiah is the ability to turn off the Messiah 2..... I have BOTH chips...... They both boot everything I have perfectly...

There are some "anti-mod" games that are out..... (PS1 games... But could be PS2 games in the future).....
These games WILL NOT play if a mod chip is detected.... Thus you can turn the chip off to play the original game....

They have patches for PS1 games but this problem hasn't come up yet with PS2 games, so there is nothing yet. I would imagine they would have patches as well.

Installing a mod is very difficult, unless you are very experienced at soldering extremely small points.

At present there really is no particular advantage or disadvantage oneither, in fact I have found that with some home brew aplications, for instance emulators for the PS2, the messiah 1 is better at booting them than messiah 2 and also the messiah 1 isn't too fussy about booting discs burned in mode 1 where as the messiah 2 seems to be picky on the mode 2/xa format that PS2's work from.
The simple answer is if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Until u come across a problem with the messiah 1 don't worry too much about changing it. If u do come across a problem then the chances r that alot of other people will come across it and a patch will be made. Regards.............

Theres no way of turning off the Messiah 1? What if you were to put a switch in between the power line? Turn off the power, you turn off the chip…
