Q) Can I use DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW?
A) It depends on your PS2 version. v1-4 are iffy on booting anything but -R. Higher versions are better at reading more than just -R. In the end it depends on your individual PS2, some can read more than others.
I have a v5. How will it work? Better that V1-V4?

Like it says, "Higher versions are better at reading more than just -R" so yours is indeed higher than a v4 and so it should read better than a v4. But as it also says, "In the end it depends on your individual PS2." What didn't you understand, i quoted almost every sentence.

Hey...
read this page and cant see an answer to a query i have... to put it shortly... i've been given a ps2 with messiah 2 chip and i bought GTA san andreas UK release the other day... got home started playing it and then an hour or so in the sound cut off... thought it was the game so changed it for another brand new one,then it happened again so i bought a new scart lead... still happening...

then found out this pdf doc on the net about messiah2 which tells you that you sometimes get loss of sound, cut off sound or weird buzzing on games... but it says to fix it you have to do this mod...
My question is: is there any other way to fix this other then doing the mod suggested on the pdf doc?

I've tried disabling the chip by pressing reset 5/8 seconds but it doesnt seem to do much difference, once it let me play 2h without cutting the sound... any other way to disable the messiah chip?

just wondering really and sorry if its been answered, i searched for it and couldnt see anything... any help is appreciated, as well as where i could get the mod done for reasonabel price in or around london...

pz

Lo

You were able to select either the iso or mds on previous versions of DVD Decrypter but the new version forces you to select the mds.

Having the .mds selected won't make a difference though, will it?

no not at all, you were able to select either in the previous versions, this one will make you select the mds, but you end up with the EXACT same DVD, no worries.

You could add to the FAQ:

Q) How to turn Parental Lock off?
A) Once the movie is playing, go Setup - Custom - Parental Lock and set to Off. However your PS2 might already be password locked, and when you insert a movie you're asked to move to different parental lock level, and you don't have a password. In this case when prompted for a password press Select and enter the master password 7444 (try also entering 7444 while pressing select). Now you can enter a new password, use something simple like 0000. Now you can start playing the movie and change the parental lock to off. One additional problem you might find is that once you're in the Custom menu, you can't select Parental lock, it just goes dimmed highlighted. To fix this you will need to open your PS2 and remove the battery and put it back in again, then try again and you should be able to get to the Parental Lock option in the custom menu.

As stated in the beginning of this thread:

"Q) My PS2 with the Magic 3.1 won't boot all games like it's supposed to.
A) If your PS2 is a v7 then it will not boot all games. If you have any other version, then it could be a number of other reasons that it won't boot. "

Why is this?
I have not seen this mentioned before, and I am having no success in playing any of my backups on my v7 with swap magic 3.3.

I wish I would have caught this before I invested in this, but still, what is the reasoning?

It's a light orange screen that comes up saying "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation2 format disc".
This only comes when I put in a PS2 copied game, but copied PS1 games work. It's a weirdass problem. I was wondering you know if it needs extensive modifications to the chip installation or is minor?
