If it's messiah(real or cloned).. just hold on to the power button before you switch on the PS2 until the blue light of the reset button lid up.. then let go.. Normally i hold it until the "Sony Computer Entertainment" word came on the screen. This i believe is to switch off the modchip (or put to sleep).

I normally do that when i watch DVD or play PS1 game.. if i didn't do that ... the DVD cannot play at all.

But finally, i think it's not recommended to watch DVD on PS2 coz it might wear the lens faster, since DVD is like constant reading one..

And if the above method doesn't work for you, u can have a look here.. some intruction on the type of modchip..(like what to press to watch DVD..and etc). The site is pretty old so newer modchip isn't listed.

snipersnake, I couldnt agree more with u tat this community sure is warm and willing to lend a helping hand. Thumbs up for everybody!

tot31, I did just tat except for renaming the dummy file to DUMMY.BIN.

redtiger, I would assume the ISO u sent to me works flawlessly for u? If it is so, then no point for me to re-compile it isnt it.

Hence, I gotta try out the following:-
1. tot31's approach, recompile 0.7c with 100mb DUMMY.BIN
2. redtiger's ISO
3. redtiger's ISO, recompile ISO, fix LBA of system.cnf to 12231 & dummy files first.

Hmm, I could watch most of Uncle Ho's DVDs with very lill problems. Except for those that is badly pressed DVDs could not be played on the console, but it works for the DVD player.

This could also mean that ur lense might be out of sync and requires some cleaning and tuning. There is a guide on how to go bout this just couple of post before this. U might wanna check it out, and if it works -- take the 80 buckaroos and buy us a cuppa drink.

ahaha, yup, you can burn it directly

Hey man, remember i had the RSOD problem like u did ? I actually use DVDDecrypter and install the game ISO to the HDD and the game can now boot flawlessly. The only draw back though if the game isn't HDLoade compatible... which means .. i can't play my shadow of collossus.....

it works ! i press quickly 2 times as u said can play dvd liao.
thanks alot

Setting the HDD to "CS" also will work

As for DVD media, i have used a real zap brand (burn at 2x)
And it works

just tested mine~ M-chip 2 MP-188 works on my SCPH-39006~. but... I don't have any spare hdd to play with

OMG~.. I did't know installing game from dvd to hdd. take 30 mins for one game~

whats winhip speed >?

I just finish transfering a 4 gig plus game iso... and roughly about 6 - 7 minutes.. using IDE to USB 2.0 and winhiip.

oo.. then I should use winhiip already.. didn't know one game take 30 mins pulak

lucky I got IDE to USB2.o also hehehe/

but does HD loader support ISO files? as in just one iso files?

For my case ... i think because my notebook combo drive cannot see the actual content of the PS2 DVD game (only certain game... but mostly newer games, i can't see the content), i use the DVDDecrypter to decrypt the game into an ISO image... then i append the image to Nero ImageDrive ... and then i use winhiip to transfer the image to the HDD.

anybody can get shadow of colossus run on hd loader ?

I check the HDLoader compability chart... this game isn't HDLoader compatible. Unless someone make a patch of sort..

thy always hv pictures on how to open the big ps2. but i really cant find any for the slim one. anyone here knows how with pictures? thanks

Any help for me?
I download a game, instead of ISO file.. the files in the folder all turn out to be .002, .003 etc ...

I can't copy it to my HDD wor ...

just change the game.001 to game.rar. it should unrar one iso file.

OMG djinn ~~~
You the best~

*hugs & kisses*

me and tot did several experiments and the diagnosis was that dude's modchip doesnt support homebrew app. no wonder my messiah can..

I can confirm that bluechip modchip does not support any homebrew applications, so whoever can't load hdloader your modchip is most probably a bluechip. I've tested 2 machines with bluechip and both failed to load hdloader, usbadvance and any other homebrew applications.
