Messiah 2 Vs Magic 3.1
I hear alot of talk about Messiah 2 being the "better" modchip over the infamous Magic 3.1. What I would like to know is if you ppl actually sat down and tested every game, all the way through and see if it played correctly. The fact is none of you have. You say that it boots every game everytime, well Ive been into modchips for well over years now, and when the Magic 2 was released, the same thing was said about it, same with the magic 3 and 3.1. There is no modchip that will boot every game everytime, all of them are going to have some flaws in them, although some less than others, and all of them will run accross a few games that they wont play correctly. but I have yet to run accross a game that the Magic 3.1 will fail to play. All in all, all this talk about Messiah 2 being better than the Magic 3.1 is crap. Any retailer that knows what they are talking about will tell you that the Magic 3.1 is best and the Messiah 2 is equal or less than it.

You can call the Magic 3.1 better if you like having to reset several times to get a game to boot. Messiah 2 boots every game every time with only one attempt.

I have run across 3 games that the magic 3.1 will not play correctly on a v7 ntsc machine.
Simpsons skateboarding, the game boots fine, but then it goes to the red screen after intro. Max Payne, same as above. Splinter cell, game boots fine, but it goes to red screen when you save. Both Simpsons skateboarding and Max Payne worked fine with the magic 3.0 on both v7 machines. I guess the magic 3.1 chip was added a sleep function or something the causes the game to fail when checked a second time. I did not test Splinter cell with magic 3.0. All 3 games work fine on my other v7 machine with a messiah2 in it and I have yet to find a game that will not play with a messiah2. In my opinion the magic 3.1 is a fine chip, however the messiah2 is a better one.
