Magic 3 reflash ?

**paleskin** · 01-25-2005,02:53 PM

I have an old magic 3 chip, this chip really sucks, it required several booting, and many games didn't work with it
Is it possible to reflash it ?

You've already asked this... why start another thread?

Nope, this is the first time I post it, after reading several threads about magic 3 reflash, but none of them provides me with satisfying result, I even do not understand what magic ice program is
Can someone post a complete guide (with pictures preferably) how to flash old magic 3 chip ?

The work involved, not to mention cash put in, won't be worth trying to accomplish what you're doing sad to say. And even if you do decide to get what's needed, software and building (or buying) a programmer, there's no guarantee that it will work..

I'd recommend just getting another chip. Many clones out there work great and are very cheap. Change a few wires around from your original Magic 3 install and you're set.

Sorry if that's not directly answering your question, but thought I'd save you some trouble.

Thanks, I think I'll change to Matrix modchip, after I bought a new unit

We have an iCE forum here somewhere, you should spend some time reading and please use the SEARCH function. What more info do you need ? Should I paste the whole thread here ??? Also you are right, get a new mod. I suppose you do not have the tools needed for the reflash...
