hi i have an imported ps2(slim)my friend got it from pakistan and he gave it to me because there was an annoying problem. whenever i turn the ps2 when it is reading the disc there is no color and the screen is rolling. how can i get rid of this , but when the game screen is loading the screen is not rolling. thanks
If you have Swap Magic or a modchip, then this should help:
64. Q. I burned a game and the screen is flickering and rolling constantly, what's going on?
A. The video format is incompatible. You are playing a PAL game on an NTSC PS2 or TV, or vice versa. Your TV you can't change, the game you can patch with PAL2NTSC patcher with Y fix or Adrenaline patcher as posted earlier in the thread. Swap Magic has the option to force video mode, but it doesn't work with all games. Some games may still appear in black and white, those will still need patched. Good modchips like the DMS 4 and Matrix Infinity will force the video and have a Y fix built in, making for seamless play, regradless of video format.
84. Q. I know you said I should get a DMS 4 or Matrix Infinity, but I'm interested in the Crystal Chip, is the Crystal Chip any good?
A. Yes. It direct boots everything and supports all the features of the Matrix Infinity and DMS 4. The Crystal Chip has an added bonus: It auto patches DNA's for online play. So you can play your backups online automatically without having to dink around with Winimage, Windip, or Disc ID Insertor, or any form of DNA patching. The Crystal Chip is currently the only modchip on the market that supports this feature. The official Crystal Chip firmware isn't capable of booting backups and imports. You need to download the hacked CC Firmware to boot your backups and imports. Don't let the "hacked" part scare you, it's simply the official CC Firmware modified so it can boot backups and imports. The official firmware doesn't boot backups and imports, because it's illegal in many countires to own a modchip, like the U.K. or Korea. It's still 100% legal in the U.S. :) If you play your PS2 backups online a lot, and are interested in getting it modded, check out the Crystal Chip.
