What date did your game first ship, on the lik-sang site?

Mine was December 29, 2004 11:06:18

Just wonder if they all went at once.
 
Looks like today is the day for me, I can hardly speak !!!!!

Ohh - What version PS2 do you have ?...

Hurry up Dammit.... Does it work ?....

I chipped my console (DMS4 + ToxicOS = Total Ownage !) over the Holidays - and my Play-Asia order changed to Shipped 4 hours ago.....
 
It doesn't work on my chipped console 👎 not sure of version?? but the model is SCPH-39003

I'm fuming now :ouch: paid out nearly £70 for a ****in disc read error :indiff: :indiff: :indiff:

This game is about to go on E-BAY ..... I want my money back :grumpy:


edit: just tried it with swap magic just incase, but no joy there either :sick: :sick: :sick:
 
I am tempted to take the chip from my old SCPH-39003 console and put it in the Silver SCPH-50003 model I have .... anyone know if it's a waste of time attempting this?

other than the obvious wrecking of a chipped console if all goes wrong :guilty:
 
Stilllllll waiting for my copy to arrive, has anyone else that ordered from liksang with budget mail recieved theirs yet? Should be sometime in the next few days though. Talk about a good way to make time go slow, this has been the longest week I've had for a looong time
 
Mr P. how come it wont read the disk?? did you ever have another disk that your chip/station wouldn't play?. I've never had anything mine wouldn't read so it better not start now! (I'm running a Magic v3 and a version 7 PAL station)
 
This is the first time I have had a game not play on this chipped PS2, but it is also the first time that I have tried to play an original import game 👎

I have 3 ways to play ntsc games ..... Messiah II chipped console, Swap magic disc version 2.0 and also I have a cogswap device that lets you play ntsc copies .... not one of them will play this disc 👎 👎 👎

I would give that a shot... The Silver being a lot younger and all... Mines a V5 (30004), so I'm ever so slightly edgy here....

I will take the chip from my old console and put it in the new one now .... I have never attempted this before so I am very worried about the outcome :sick: :sick:

wish me luck :)
 
Mr P, hang on! it's much easier to adjust the laser than swap a mod chip from one ps2 to another that has a different mainboard!@!!, I'm sure the read error can be fixed with a little tweak to the laser

Best of Luck Mr. P !...

One thing is sure though - The Swap magic won't work with GT4 since GT4 is Dual Layer and the TOC on the Swap Magic makes the PS2 think it's a Single Layer...
 
does anyone have a link to diagrams for mod chip swapping between consoles at all? I'd appreciate a bit of guidance 👍

and also .. do all chips work on any consoles? is the messiah going to be compatible with the silver PS2?

Misread - I suck - The 50000 isn't mentioned 👎

Maybe you should try adjusting the laser as someone mentioned above.....

Mr P. Mr P hello! : ) adjust your DVD pot underneth the laser like 1/8th of a turn in the clockwise direction to increase it's reading power and try the disk again

Hi mate I will try this first 👍 cheers :cheers:
 
Finished yet? 1/8th of a turn made my ps2 from a read a dvdr sometimes on a good day into a read anything anytime machine so should be just right for making yours read a dvd-9
 
He not even started yet, left his mess all over the floor because he had to go out.

I am bloody gutted :( I suggest he buy a new mod chip for our newer model PS2.
Can't find a UK site that sells modchips though :odd: Must be illegal to sell here,I'll check ebay.
A few more quid for another modded console won't be the end of the world but it is rather annoying that we have to go through all this trouble just to play a game :grumpy:

All that waiting impatiently for nothing...

I hope the other people who are waiting for their import have more luck.
 
Oh man, just when I get my copy I hear you guys with this problem.

Your getting Disc Read Error though?
 
Don't panic : ) I'm going to sleep now as it's past 2am but I'm confidant you will be playing GT4 by the time I am and I could be playing it tomorrow ! :D unless it doesn't work on my ps2. Another thing I was thinking, do you think the dvd-9 disk needs a different way of booting with the messiah chip? that you normally use, you know how you do a double press before power on or after power on to play psx or movies and stuff like this?. With my magic3 you have to push the button really fast and let go of it before the blue light comes on to play an import or dvdr but for a pressed PAL game or a movie you have hold the button until the blue light is on and then let go of it. Anyway that's something else to think about?

(I still think it's not the mod chip but the laser and that it's going to work when it's adjusted 1/8th a turn clockwise : ))
