iq_132 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 (edited) I was just wondering if you guys could help me make a decision on what mod-chip to buy and where to get it.To start out, I need a Mod-chip for a V4 ps2 I also need to know some reputable mod-chip retailers and what modchip to get. Keep in mind I don't mind doing soldering. I would normally try to find one on my own, but after doing a few searches and only getting porn and such, I thought I'd come to some people who most likely know. Edited March 8, 2004 by iq_132
iq_132 Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 I checked out that site already. Is it reliable and has anyone done business with them?
kurupter13 Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 (edited) i got my swap magic disk from http://www.mod-chip.com and got it in 2 days. by the way i asked about this and my post got deleted Edited March 8, 2004 by kurupter13
iq_132 Posted March 8, 2004 Author Posted March 8, 2004 Ok <_ thanks guys. i think going to order the magic chip from mod-chip.com> http://www.mod-chip.com/magic3.htm
Shibathedog Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 www.consolesource.com i like them better I would recommend the Magic 3.1 chip
Weirdy Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) how come there's no more new mod chips compatible with the 30001 bios anymore?!!...that really sucks, why would someone buy a new ps2 just to get a new mod chips... ...anyways, that Breaker pro looks tempting...maybe I should get that..

Prican25 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) i wouldn't recomend magic 3.1, theres a few games it has problems with (all games being better on pc). deus ex, max payne 1 and 2, and splinter cell. the problems with the games is it gives you the rsod (red screen of death) while loading the game or at a certain point of the game. like for splinter cell you'll get the rsod when you finish a mission and try to save. but at least for splinter cell theres a way over it (eject the disc before saving). i can recomend duo for v1-v7 usa (v3-v8 pal) it works just like messiah 2 pro except it only has 17 wires to install and at low cost ($21 +shipping at foundmy.com). also theres the great messiah 2 mod which works on v0-v10 theres a new version of magic (magic v) but its for either v9 or 10 (2 different mods for 2 different versions of ps2). and theres what some ppl call the best (not me) DMS3. theres 2 versions of this mod: DMS3 v2 is for v0-v8 | DMS3 v9 works on v9/v10 only. all the mods do the same but in DMS3 case it has the option to update the mod but this option has been more useless then usefull. DMS3 also features an option to use certain emulator or media player (ps2 reality player) via the memory card but you still waste a cd just to either use the memory card function or just boot from a cd.

Wizard Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 i'm with the 30001 crowed. I want something for my old old old old ps2.
Weirdy Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 I think us ppl with the old BIOS should just buy them boot discs
Prican25 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 the magic discs aren't a good idea to get cuz its not just a simple swap, you have to eject the door by hand using either a chipped off credit card (they sell these as slide cards, big rip-off) or a plastic knife (mcdonalds anyone? ) and then put in the game disc. they also sell a fliptop case for older ps2's which the top filps open for easy access to swap but its a very very ugly case. magic swap discs are also known not to play all games especially dvd-rips (dvds ripped down to cd size). if you got an older ps2 and can or know someone who can solder very small points, definitly get a duo mod. www.foundmy.com sells them for $21 + shipping. there are other mods but like i mentioned in my last post all of them play games except for certian flaws in magic 3/3.1

I'm just curious. I don't want to get ripped off.
kurupter13 Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 the swap magic disk do work some games dont that where u download cdloader atSWAPMAGiCFiX.COM if the game your backingup isnt listing then it doesnt need a fix. i made on own fliptop.about the dvd rip i dont care about them i always do a 1:1 copy never rip cause they ware out your laser. my poor dreamcast.
