kingdom hearts + messiah 2
 

i just fitted my V7 machine PAL with a messiah 2

and try to load the kingdom hearts backup

it stop after i select new game (before the intro i presume)

but the game is not stuck cause when i press start it show a pause logo

any way i saw here that this is a magic behiover , is that true ?

does it say i was tricked into buying magic chip instead of messiah ?

anything else so far as worked great !!!

I have a V7 NTSC w/ Messiah 2 and it runs my Kingdom Hearts backup perfectly.

Maybe you got a Messiah2 clone with the magic code on it?
Or maybe you just made a bad burn.

There is a good chance you have a hk messiah 2, which performs more like a magic 3.

10x for the replies

so how can i tell if my chip is a clone ?
is there a way to do it without opening the case ?

and something else , it rather strange that a game is stuck after it allready been loaded and menus work fine
i would expect a bad copy to not load at all
and a bad quality copy to freeze randomly or be slow

how came it stops every time after the menu

one last thing , i have another ps2 scph30000 fitted with origachip
(works dvdr with swaping)
and the dvdr works fine with it , not even a slow down .......

You can try some of the game tests as charlie_ps2 did here

i will try that ,thanks !

anyway for playing kingdom hearts i will try to save on the jap ps2
and load on the pal machine

might works since i can get the load part .

and i am surely gone have a word with my installer :)
