I have a V12 PS2 Slim and have recently installed the DMS4 E.Z.I. S.E. modchip and even updated the BIOS to the new ToxicBIOS 1.4. But I still get the "invalid disc" error. I had to use my PS2 CD Boot Disc to load the BIOS disc in the first place. So my PS2 has been unable to read any disc other than what it originally could when I first bought it without first using a boot disc. Any suggestions, I have been trying to get it up and running for over 3 hours and can't think of what to do.

1. you should check the install again and make sure everything is correct

2. Is this a DMS4 PRO ot Lite? If it is a Lite then ToxicBIOS is correct, If it is a Pro it should be running ToxicOS V0.41

Sorry, it is Pro, thanks for the information, I will put ToxicOS v0.41 on it.

EDIT: I have just put on ToxicOS v0.41, but it is still unable to boot the backups without using the boot disc. I am assuming that because they work using a boot disc that there is nothing wrong with the PS2 or the game disc itself, any suggestions?

try to um....

ground your chip to different location

you know, where there's a bit of iron dots around the screw holes

I grounded mine at the screw holes w/o those iron dots

but it wasn't working

after switching the ground point it worked for me...

0oh....

have you tried stealth mode?

if you can't even get to stealth mode, you did something wrong...

What is stealth mode? I can access the configurations of ToxicOS and can disable the chip. Though I haven't seen or read anything about stealth mode. I will try grounding the chip to a different location to see if that works.

"have you tried stealth mode? "

you mean disabling the chip, right. It is either on or off.
And loading with a boot disc really is not saying that anything (as far as the chip is concerned) is working. But that would tell me it is not the game or the system, but something with your chip install.
But you had no problem flashing ToxicOS ?

well even when the ground point was off i was able to flash my chip
although I wasn't able to load back-ups

after opening up the ps2 w/ my friend who's good at electronics
he told me I grounded the chip wrong

so I grounded the chip to other screw hole
where my friend told me to be a proper one
after that I was able to play back-up games ever since

that is...
up until I bought third party eject pcb for my ps2
now my ps2 won't boot with the chip on it...

Thanks to everyones help, I was able to get my PS2 up and running with my backups, unfortunately as I was reassembling it, the piece that connects to the reset switch broke. Anyone have an extra? I can send a picture of it if needed. Its the piece that has one ribbon cable that connects to the board and another cable that connects to the modchip, and it also connects to the power/reset switch. I am willing to pay for the part, depending on asking price. I would rather not have to pay an additional $80 to get the entire chip for that one part.

I forgot the site that sells just that parts
but all I can think of is consolesource.com
they sell other parts as whole w/o the chip
for $20...

dang...
should've added that site to my favorite...
or perhaps I'm confusing myself...
for dms4 pro(NOT SE) spair parts
