What Can I Do??!!!

**Simon Tibbett** · 09-03-2003,05:32 PM

Ok, I have a copy of Gran Turismo Concept Geneva 2002, its a JAP version, and my PS2 with a Magic 3.0 chip/ switch will not boot it! What can I do? What is the Xenosaga swap, I have tried GS, it still wont work! What can I possibly do!!!??

Change from a Magic 3.0 to any other non-swap chip including Magic 3.1. Magic 3.0 doesn't like DVD9.

I can get a 3.1 and directly switch it right? There would be no soldering on the MB right?

right.

Although I think precisionmods has proven that the boot rate for DVD9 games on a Magic 3.1 is only about 40%. Switching to a Magic 3.1 may get your game to boot occasionally, but that doesn't seem like a good solution either. My advice, dump the Magic and get a Messiah...you won't be sorry.

40% as in takes a few tryes, or probably never?

When I tested Magic 3.1 the DVD9 load rate was much higher. DVD9 backup was about 15%. But the real thing was pretty much 100%.

On my tests, it only booted 3 out of 10 tries. I think an Apple Pro or even Magic V might suit this user better. Of course Messiah would be the best choice.

What about the Xeonosaga Swap. does this work?

apple pro uses the exact same points as magic
