I just got my PS2 and I gues I'm suppossed to use this toxicOS cuz I have a DMS4 SE PRO. The thing is I downloaded the file but I don't know what to do with it. I tryd copyng each file to a disc and tryd to play them in my PS2. nothing happened.
I want to use the HDD feature. If I can Flash the system or something that would be great. Can anyone help me ???
Here's what you do. If you have the PRO, make sure you download ToxicOS to your computer. The file will be an ISO image which you can use Alcohol (recommended) or any other cd/dvd burning application to burn a "disc image" - this is important. You can't just burn the file to a cd, you have to tell your application that it's an image you need to burn and then point it to the ISO file.
Once the ISO's been burned properly, make sure your PS2 is off and then turn it on and insert the cd. You should see a menu in a few seconds and you'll press X to install the OS on your machine. DO NOT REBOOT OR DISCONNECT YOUR PS2 AT THIS TIME!!!!!!
Once the installation is complete, you'll be prompted to remove the disk and reboot - do it. Make sure you hold the R1 key as soon as you reboot your device to get into the Toxic menu and you'll be all set.
yep, what he said, very simple.
1.download
2. unzip files
3. burn CUE file to CD as an image with CD burning program
4. put in PS2 and play it
5. chip flashed
6. after it is done if you need to change or just want to look at the settings, hold down square button when you start the PS2
Thanks !! I started ansering the questions and what type of format should I choose. I chose the standard because it said I would have problems with extended, then it just froze. can somebody help me out?? Total Newbie !
Are you trying to format the drive or flash the chip? How big is the hd you're trying to format? It's better to connect your hard drive to your PC and use WinHIIP to format it than to use Toxic directly.
actually the Toxic app works better. and is easier to use for a newbie.
having to open you PC, stick the HDD in, use that program to format it, take it out, close your PC, then install it in the PS2
That is just way too many steps when he could just install it in the PS2 and format it from there.
