Messiah 1 or Magic 3.1

Jumpman · 02-28-2003,10:53 PM

I have a version 4 PS2 that is compatiable with a Messiah 1 and need it modded. I already have a Messiah 1 and Magic 3.1 but I don't know which chip to have installed. I'm thinking of just having the Messiah installed but I'm not too sure. Should I have the Messiah chip or Magic 3.1 installed?...Why?

Magic 3.1

Why? What's your reasoning behind that?

I think you should go with messiah, magic chips have ALOT of issues, and messiah = the original, it boots from browser, etc., as for chip off, just double tap reset for psx mode.

I'd go with magic 3.1, it's newer, it's in it's second generation.

and not as hard an install aswell.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Messiah but I still need more input. Honestly, I really don't care that the Magic 3.1 is newer, I just want something that is reliable.

I've also heard that some people are having problems (freezing) with the Magic 3.1, I don't know if it has been corrected in the later version but that's kind of the reason why I'm leaning towards the Messiah at this point.

How about Messiah2, boots from browser??

Go with the M1.

I already have a M2 modded PS2 (which I love) and need to get my other PS2 modded. I already have the chips (Messiah 1 and Magic 3.1) and don't want to buy another chip.

I'm sorry....I was asking a question. I just got one of my ps2's mod with the messiah 2 and was wondering. It seems that I need to tab the reset button to boot. I don't know much about how to fully use the chip but so far I love not having to swap
