I wasn't asking or requesting any V7 review. I was expecting one. I don't think it's a bad thing when you visit such a big web site to have expectations.

And about those that give or take, try to do a search with my user name and you will see that I do all I can to give as much as I can with what I know. I might not have all your knowledge, but I'm not Rex either.

Fair enough.

he said on numerous occasions that he was going to install it into a v8 ntsc - and he did.

I knew it would be tested on a V8, but I tought it would also be tested on a V7 at the same time. But it's definitly interesting to see those V8 results after the DMS3 team claimed to have cracked it. Now, I don't know what else could be lie. I'm kinda worried about that flash feature... I just hope the team will really use that features and I also hope it will work like advertised.

Do you know if those V8 bugs can possibly be corrected by a flash upgrade ?

Tell me, which other member of this forum, providing technical support free of charge to such a large audience, has immediate access to the modchip developer? Does that work for you or against you?

With all the help and support I've provided for forum members on many issues, it's rather unkind to ascribe deviousness to my motives when I have also been totally up front as to which PS2 I would test first.

honestly, the sceptic in me says thats both a good thing in a bad thing. for example, if you had access to the magic team instead of m2 and were backing them then it would definately be bad.

im not saying there's anything wrong with seeing if the dms3 team had fixed the v8 problem. but thats only because i've been recently following the scene, and know its a different beast from previous machines. but you had to know your initial review would be taken out of context because it is the first one and posted up on other boards and it would create a lot of doubt whether it was a good chip or not. thats where i think the review was devious. you're looking at things from a techie's view, i'm looking at things from an end users point of view.

anyways, you deserve your props too for your work on this board, i help run a club too, and i know that everyone wants to take but theres relatively few who want to give back, so i don't want to come off like that. after all, it is here that i get most of my information about modding. i just want to make sure in my mind that i can trust the things that i read from moderators...

Maybe if you started another thread and kinda format your review the way many other reviews are formated, you'll get more feedback.

E.G.

DVDR - Boots ok (or 80%)
CDR - Boots OK
HKSilver - RSOD
etc....


I'm glad to hear the DMS3 is working on v7 units. But a more detailed review might be in order so we know what you tested (DVDRs, CDRs, DVD Rips, HK Silvers, DVD Movie Region, etc...).

BTW - Have one on all of us... methinks we could all use a drink

but earlier in this same thread you gave it thumbs down? and you didnt mention any of the dms3 specific features. if someone didnt want those features then i'd tell them to get the m2 instead. i'm personally interested in 2 things, does it work as well as the m2 in booting rips, and do the extra features work as promised. and on a ntsc v6 if you don't mind

hey atleast charlie_ps2 did state a V8 on the review. and didn't mislead in that way.

we all can tell charlie_ps2 being so closely related to messiah2 (what sounds like friendship) and business, we all can see that having him to a review on competitors chip (that he can't by direct from the main source like he can with messiah2) why we would think he would slam it, its financial. We can see that, but do we believe he would do that?

Now if he wasnt selling chips then we would think differently.

Remember not too long ago charlie_ps2 was stating magic2 or was it magic3 products were booting dvd9 no problem, but terry at foundmy.com was like no there is a problem, and this went back and forth. then charlie_ps2 tested in on a v7 ( i think) and found that terry was correct that where was a problem, but since he was testing with a v5 not a v7 (or all other models).
He assumed that if v5 worked , v7 and other models would as well. so i mean not too many people have v1-v7 sitting around and waiting for test chips. (even modchip.ca stated now that magic3 only boots dvd9s at 40%, but they were dvd9 ready, cough, cough). anyways... misleading?

It was bad compared to a messiah2 (and well alot of other solutions out there as well). So charlie_ps2 quickly dropped magic3 products and jumped on the messiah2 "Crazy train" (just for ozzy) and is riding that.

To sum it up, we will be waiting for a review from people that don't sell chips. that is really now the only people we can trust. but again, maybe not. i think we will need more individuals to have them to actually have a good review.

email from foundmy.com states they will be getting their limited dms3 qty on tuesday, so they will most likely test it out. I asked them if they ordered like 1 pcs to try, they said nope, they will have stock, limited but it will be stock. But again, can we trust foundmy's reviews, since he sells the chips? but he was correct about magic2 and magic3 so far. but again he is a reseller.

who to trust?
