Version 1 With Messiah

[leroydube]

Can anyone help me find the instructions for installing the messiah chip to a version 1 board. I have searched forums with no luck. Need asssistance badly.
Thanks leroy

LOD's pictures have been posted here and I'm slowly producing an Install Guide but I'm not rushing to do so.

So look through the posts. Guichi posted the pictures and they are clear.

Thanks for the quick reply,
I searched all posts and the only thing I could find was the magic 2 pictures. I was wondering about the original messiah, 44 wires I think.
Can you get me alittle closer.

Thanks again

Correct me if I am wrong, but I didn't think Messiah supported any version prior to v3 PAL....and especially not a v1. Also, I thought all Messiah's were 23 wires? Maybe you mean a NEO 4?

It is 23 wires, I know the Magic 2 version 3 can work with version 1 boards but I wondered if messiah will also work with that board or if someone has tried it.
Thanks ; sorry for confusion on # of wires

I am assuming that you must have an NTSC console since PAL consoles started with v3. If that is the case, the only model that is currently supported by Messiah is a v4. I don't think anyone would try it on a v1 and possibly damage the console because the manufacturer specifically states which models it will work with and the v1 is not one of them.

It would be Magic 2 not Messiah to use with v1. And search the NEWS forum - the pictures are in there.

The messiah did work on a v1, a true NTSC v1, search on help-forums about it

So if it worked, why am I still sitting here with an unmodded v1 while china-messiah claims it only works on NTSC v4? Just curious.......

I read about the 2 guys that actually had a version 3 board set up to work NTSC but mine is a real version one, Wish I had that board but no such luck.
Sucks becaue I have a brand new messiah chip anda PS2 that it wont work in.
Can't get Hong Kong toys to answer email to see if I can exchange it for the Magic 2 V3 chip in which they were suppose to send me. Mailed them 3 times, great customer relations huh?.
Noticed on site that they have a new disclaimer on ordered products. Anybody have any connection with them to see what to do.
