hello,

My name is Newbie,

OBJECTIVE: All right, heres the deal, I want to make ps2 backups to

play on my ps2.

EQUIPMENT: I have an S-BOX mod-chip. I don't have a DVD-burner or DVD

writer, or anything special at all.

QUESTION: Where do I start? What should I do, I'm practically needing

to be baby fed the information, thank you all.

First, I suggest a DVD -R recorder, it will be required.

alrighty, DVD-Recorder, umkay, what else?

(in reply to StrawBoy)

A new mod chip. The meathod of mod chip you are using is not capable of playing any DVD format of game backup...

Tron are you serious man? I have to get a "NEW" modchip?? mine is already soddered in, i can't take it out. Are you sure that S-BOX can't play ps2 backups, the guy who soddered it in for me said that i could. I mean, he's a pro, of course i don't know your background, but this just can't be, i have to be able to play ps2 backups.

hi strawboy
i'm afraid Tron is quite correct the usb mod u have is only good for playing back cdr backups the so called pro that fitted it should have known this . it looks like he just wanted your cash

Hi StrawBoy and Welcome to Our Forum !!!
Tron is exactly Correct the S-Box USB Mod can't play backed up DVD Games all it was meant for was the CDR games and it is very easy to remove there is only 1 cable to un-solder also it won't even let you play backed up CDR Games unless you have an Action Reply 2 Cartridge plugged in I know this from my own experience as when the PS2 first came out I fitted one to my own PS2 !!!

WoW, well this sux, I can't believe it.

alright, i looked at the site, and i guess yall were write, it says in only supports CD-R stuff. dang, this blows. Well but aren't their ps2 games that are on CD-R... "good" ones i mean? but uh,

what do yall guys suppose i do?

(in reply to StrawBoy)

Well I suggest you return it to the Guy who sold it and fitted it for you and ask him for a refund and get it removed then get one of the Latest DMS3 Mod Chips Fitted as it is the chip of choice among PS2 Gamers and it will :-
1>. Allow you to direct-boot all PS2 games including backups, imports, originals, silvers and DVD9.
2>. Can direct-boot PSX games including backups, imports, originals, and silvers.
3>. Plays any region DVD movies without Macrovision or RGB (green-screen) fixed.
4>. Boot applications such as the PS2 Reality Media Player from memory card as soon as the system starts up

But in the end the choice is yours !!!

Laffin, how does a Magic 5 modchip old up against the DMS3? (would be for the latest version of PS2)

Thanks.

Hey man, I moved from GA to WA state, clear cross the US, plus I had ordered my mod chip from hong kong, and i took it to a store for them to install it, and then now i'm moved, and there is no possible way i can take it out or anything, well maybe, but lets say i do get it out. Would i have to order a DMS3 and install it my self, cause theres no way i can do that. Plus.. how much would this cost, and How easy is it to burn ps2 DVD games? please, provide my unknowing brain with this knowledge, thank you.

You need to get that mod chip removed and get a new one. I heard that the Magic V is a good one, but if you do not know what you are doing you will most surly mess up your machine. Also I do not know the version of PS2 you have, you need to find out so that you can ge the right version of modchip for that machine. The have 10 versions out so you need the right one! You need to locate someone to remove the old one and replace it with a new one. As for making DVD backups of PS2 games, it really is not too hard to do..... I personally use Alcohol 120%, but I know there are other copy programs to do it as well....

Hey LA quick question for you: Do you know if the latest DMS3 Mod Chips work in the PS2 version 10 machines? Thanks........

Hi Tron
The New V10 PS2's have started showing up in a couple of places including the USA and the good news is DMS3 V9 has already been tested successfully on these consoles and works without any problema !!!

(in reply to StrawBoy)

Thanks LA! Looks like a nice chip! I think I will have to get one! Thanks.... At least with this one you can just download and install updates! Now that is promising!

(in reply to StrawBoy)

Alright, lets say i do find someone that will take out my chip and such. all in all

how much will this entire process cost??

Modchip
installation
DVD writables
any programs that i might need

(in reply to StrawBoy)

Sorry Can't help you with that I am in the UK so I have no Idea what it would cost in the USA but I am sure either MP3Mogul or Tron will know !!!
