Any one can help me on asking these:
1) DVD Region Limitation Free?
2) MacroVision Free?
4) Support JAP 30000 V4 machine?
3) Can play D9 backup? (e.g., Xenosaga)

By now here we have another hack of Messiah which can play D9 backup (must be silver in this case). But it doesn't support by JAP 30000 V4. So looking for alternative. Pls help! :hdspin:

e-ghost!

Basically it will do everything a Messiah will do on a US Console. So if the Messiah couldn't do it then this chip will not do it. The only thing they fixed was the PSX color mess up...

But what I need to know is the functionality when install on JAP PS2. The same as US Console?

I don't think they have anything out for anything but US Consoles. Sorry I don't think it will support a Jap Console...Not totally positive but pretty sure....

According to lik-sang, the magic chip 2 is: Compatible with all 3000x-R (V5 models) - USA, PAL, JAP and
Compatible with all 3900x (V7 models) - USA, PAL, JAP

Don't think it supports V4 yet.

there are 4 version of magic2 but most of the sites sell v5/v6 & v7 version only. There is one version for v4 PS2 and according to it's official info that it should support JAP PS2. But who can afford a US$89 testing?
