You want a Magic 3.1. A 3.6 is just a cheap clone that often has problems.

Buy a Magic 3.1

Magic 3.6's are clones of the Magic 3.1 and do not work well AT ALL.

I got mine for $35 from www.psx-tech.com, and you want them to install it for you, theyll do it for $90 +s/h for $90.

Paying someone to install it is the way to go.

This was probably answered in the old thread, but I'm lazy

Regarding using a PSX Gameshark (or the PSX disc packed with the GS2) to boot up PSX copies and imports on the PS2 (either using a Flip-top mod or just removing the PS2 cover and CD bay cover - which I'm currently doing until I can get a FT):

Since there's no modchip involved, and basically after you get it going, the PS2 thinks it's a regular game, does this method defeat all anti-mod protection (like those seen in 4th and 5th mix)? I would assume it does, but I'd just like further clafification.

Legit, or a knock-off?

That Magic 4.1 looks like a clone that is compatible with V8.

Are there any cheaper J-PS2's cheaper than what www.ncsx.com has?

Well, I just sent my PS2 out to psx-tech.com to get it modded with a Magic 3.1. I hate having to send my PS2 out, espeically if it's gonna take about 10 days to get it back. But It'll all be worth it when I can play jp DDRMAX and DDRMAX2. I'll be sure to post about how everything works when I get my PS2 back.

This is the "I don't want to wait 10 days" smiley ->

When I got my PS2 modded with a Magic 3.1 at PS-X Tech, it took 21 days.

Looks like you will have to wait.

If you want it faster just send in extra money for shipping. It took about 5 days from sending it out to getting back just cuz i sent money for priority mailing.
