Hk Messiah 2 Fraud Chip - Test Review

Here is the game test result for the HK Messiah 2 FRAUD tested on a US v7, GH-019.

My overall impression is that the HK Messiah 2 FRAUD lies between Magic3 and magic 3.1, with some inability to boot certain games in common with Magic 3/3.1.

DVD9 games load occasionally and strangely the DVD9 Hong Kong "Gold" booted more frequently than an original DVD9 game. Switch off mode for booting anti-mod protected games works by double tap on RESET.

Xenosaga DVD9 NTSC-J Direct Boot------------------------Boots 1 in 8
Xenosaga DVD9 NTSC-J Booted behind AR2/GS2--------------OK
Gran Turismo Concept DVD9 "Silver" NTSC-J Direct Boot---Boots 1 in 3

FF X NTSC-U DVD original---------------------OK
GTA3 PAL DVD original------------------------OK
DOA2 NTSC-J DVD Original---------------------OK

GTA3 PAL DVD-R (Princo)----------------------OK
Tony Hawks 3 PAL DVD-R-----------------------OK
Headhunter PAL DVD-R-------------------------OK

EA NBA Street NTSC-U CD-R--------------------OK
Twisted MB Kalisto Rip CD-R------------------OK
GT3 Rip NTSC-U CD-R--------------------------NO (RSOD)
FIFA 2002 Rip NTSC-U CD-R----------------NO (RSOD)
Tony Hawks 3 Rip NTSC-U CD-R----------------OK
Woody Woodpecker NTSC-U CD-R-----------------OK

FF IX NTSC-J PS1 Original--------------------OK
FF IX NTSC-U PS1 CD-R------------------------OK
Syphonfilter 3 NTSC-U PS1 CD-R---------------OK
Spyro NTSC-U PS1 Original (Anti-Mod)---------Switch Off Mode
Spyro NTSC-U PS1CD-R (Anti-Mod)--------------NO

AR2/GS2 GTA3 Orig. With Codes----------------OK
AR2/GS2 GTA3 DVD-R With Codes----------------OK

Toystory NTSC-U Movie------------------------OK
PAL Movie------------------------------------Not Tested

Boot on EJECT--------------------------------NO
Always Boot on Reset----------------------YES
Switch off Mode------------------------------OK

I regard the Messiah 2 as the benchmark modchip. All the games in the list that either didn't boot or which booted occasionally but not always on HK Messiah 2 FRAUD, booted perfectly first time every time with Messiah 2.

VALUE FOR MONEY: It needs to be cheaper than Magic 3.1 to be worth buying.
