do anyone modded their ps2 casing??

Got a Question.

Network Adapter is universal or Region base?

cos i am thinking of getting 1 NA from US.
It will work right?

[question] Game xxx's DVD is scratched,PS2 can't read it, is it possible to copy the content to my PC, then from my PC i burn then content into a new DVD for PS2 to read??

found some info about backing up PS2 DVD , will try later....

*DVD Decrypter*.... copy iso.... write ISO ....

after xchange another disc now can play oledi. but now cannot play socom 3 maybe change another disc version.

Boot up? Like the very normal.

1. Power on.
2. Eject tray & insert disc
3. Hit the power button again and voila!

Right now, I hv tested both HDA3.0 & HDL(ps2ownz,200mb version). Both also have the same problem where it will get stuck at the splash screen. Gotta hit the eject button and get the disc out when the splash screen comes along, then only I can proceed to the game selection menu. Tried formatting the harddisk using full, partial & quick mode but to none avail. Even tried it on 2 hdd, maxtor & seagate.

I have numerous copies of tot31's link to HDL0.7c iso but seems like my console could not read it. Went straight to the system browser menu. I even tried putting a 200MB dummy file into it, but the CD turned out to be coasters. Googled again for some pointers, but all of em just hinted to put in dummy file -- but didnt say exactly how to go bout it. Anyone can help here?

Snipersnake,

Thanks for the heads up.

Can I certify that the console can read CDR as I have tested HDA3.0, HDL psownz 200mb & ARMAX all on CDR? It is reading flawlessly..

I need to know what specification harddisk can using for network adaptor? Newbie here.

hmm...you didnt mention about fix the LBA of SYSTEM.CNF to 12231, this might be the problem
you must fix the LBA of SYSTEM.CNF to 12231 using cdgenPS2, or else it wont boot
also remember to set your HDD to master before plug it to network adaptor

btw, you got a pm, download the 0.7C ISO, custom make for you , if you want to try yourself, you can take out the SLUS_203.44 and SYSTEM.CNF and all the dummy file and rebuild yourself

simple step, drag all the files you want, dummy or big files first, then most important SYSTEM.CNF and SLUS_203.44 from explorer to cdgenPS2, fix LBA SYSTEM.CNF to 12231
(NOTE : actually dummy or other files should put last, but since your lens is a bit wierd, so try put them first  )

my ps2 model is 39001 NTSC/UC, i think it is almost same as yours, good luck

different ps2 give different outcome ?
