Yes- You cannot boot PS2 backups without a modification, either a software mod or hardware mod!!! Do not ask about this in the forums!!! You need a modchip: Lord Sesshomaru's PS2 Modchip FAQ Swap Magic: Welcome to Swap Magic 3 Official Web Site Memory Card Exploit (Doesn't work with v.11 PS2 and later): How to make your own Memory Card Exploit using the Independence Installer HD Loader: http://www.hdloader.com.au/hardinstall#prepare or

Depends. Swap Magic is inexpensive and works well. It isn't compatible with DVD-9 games. For games above 4.38GB's you may have to rebuild the iso or do a TOC refresh to boot it. This is a small percentage of games, around 5%. In general Swap Magic 3.6 is an excellent product. After rebuilding there isn't a single game which Swap Magic won't boot. A good modchip is the ultimate upgrade. It'll play PSX/PS2/DVD/CD backups/imports automatically.

A: You need to own a copy of Dink Smallwood on CD (available from RTSoft at www.rtsoft.com). There is a folder on your DINK CD called "develop". Copy everything from this folder into your main Dink directory. That's it! The map editor is called DINKEDIT.EXE. I'd recommend downloading DinkRun (mine) or CreatedWorlds (Silencer's) as a front-end for running DinkEdit. NEW: I have created a D-Mod Skeleton which is the shell of a D-Mod you can simply UNZIP into a Dink subdirectory of your choice.

Yes, you must swap disk between any original black bottomed disk, and imported or backup game to play. This takes only 5 seconds per game disk and will not damage your playstation. Wait for original black bottomed disk which acts as a boot-up disk to stop spinning, then place imported or backup disk to play.

No. The "Swap Trick" involves removing and replacing spinning disks to try to "fool" the PlayStation into booting an Import or backup game. The "Swap Trick" is potentially dangerous to the PlayStation motor as well as unreliable. To boot an import or backup with the PS-X-Change Boot CD , all you have to do is insert the PS-X-Change Boot CD , wait for the PSX motor to stop spinning, replace the disc with an import or backup then Press START.

A: This kind of depends on your personal talent, and how dedicated you want to be in learning how. Dink-C might carry over the same basic style as the C programming language, but it's very different and much easier. It's more of a scripting language than a programming language. Having programming experience is a big plus, especially if it's in C, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary if you read through TUT1.

The short answer is you can't. The long answer is you can, but it's a pain. First you'd need to download Paradox's Console ID Changer: SKS Apps Then you'd need to find a valid PS2/ilink ID for the region you wish to play online games with. These ID's are hard to come by, if any online servers detect multiple Console ID's online at the same time, you will be banned permanently. This isn't like getting kicked off for an hour because of cheating or using a modchip, this is for good.

This problem is usually due to incorrect installation, solder shorts, poor CDR media or requirement for potentiometer adjustment on the PS2 laser assembly. As each PS2 USBMOD is tested in a externally socketed PS2 console before shipping it is extremely unlikely that the mod chip is at fault. If during the installation process the mainboard to laser unit ribbon was removed/disconnected then check that this ribbon cable has a good connection.

Yes there are. EasyBuy2000 offers external Neo Keys and several other plug-n-play devices. No soldering required.

Note: There are a ton of Matrix Infinity Clones out there. If you flash a Matrix Infinity clone with the official MI firmware, you'll fry the clone chip. That's a little gift from the Matrix Team to you for not researching and making sure you got a legit MI. After reading this FAQ, there's no excuse for ending up with a MI Clone. Select your recorder, leave the write method alone, set the write speed to 1/4 max speed of the disc, the datatype to PS2, and click next.

Yes- if you have a v.12 or 13 PS2. HD Connect is an IDE connector soldered to your slim PS2's motherboard which allows you to connect an IDE HD and play games off the Hard Drive. To do so, you will need a DMS 4 Pro SE modchip. HD Combo is a similar product which also runs off the DMS 4 Pro SE. A premodded DMS 4 Pro SE with HD Combo sells for around $270. Using ToxicOS, you're able to load games off the HD, like you would with a fat PS2. The solder points for HDConnect have been removed on the v.

Emulators - NG Emulation source for Xbox, GBA, Nintendo 64, PSP, Nintendo DS and more! These are a lot more doable IF: You find the PSX bios. For copyright purposes think Google. Then you have to have a reasonably powerful PC, let's say with around 512MB's of RAM. Then you have to configure the audio, video, and CD-ROM plug ins. These will differ greatly from game to game. Mix, match, and google are your friends once again. The two most stable PSX emulators seem to be PSXeven or ePSXe.

Yes: Emulators - NG Emulation source for Xbox, GBA, Nintendo 64, PSP, Nintendo DS and more! Hold on there speedy. First you'd need to find the PS2 bios via Google. Then you'd have to configure the plugins to get your games to load. There in lies the problem. There is little support and even less functionality for PS2 emulators. Most only load demos, and freeze when attempting to load a whole iso. In short, not worth it unless you're really desperate.

Q:I don't need an answer ASAP but, I need an answer how do I get someone to fall in love with?? Everytime I try they just become best friends. I also do know you can have babies but, I don't know how.

A router enables you to connect several devices (eg. 2 PCs, or a PC and a PS2) to your broadband line. In the case of BT Yahoo! Broadband for PS2 network gaming, it is used to connect your broadband line permanently to both your PS2 and your home computer (if you have one). It contains a firewall to help keep your data and privacy safe from Internet hackers and data thieves.

We do full system tape back ups every night. It saves all of your information up to the day, onto a tape that is taken off premises and stored securely.

If you would like more information on the swap disks and the other forms of mod avaiable with them, please check their official site at http://www.swapmagic3.com/ and no, im not advertising -_-

Since we try to make every function unique, our play list is different for every event. We carry all types of music from every genre and era in our expansive music library. Our goal concerning music selection at any given event is to blend three elements: The customer’s recommendations and selections, the requests of their guests at the show, and some of the favorites we as professional entertainers have seen work successfully at past shows.

There advertisements are false. Currently the Neo 2 is the best solution available. If there was a better chip out there, we would sell it ourselves.

NO. Most of the time reliable emulation requires a system many times more powerful then the console you're trying to emulate. The Xbox just isn't fast enough to emulate PS2- on top of that PS2 is not easy to program for.

No. The English PS2 is not region free and therefore, will not play this game without some *ahem* help, but the Japanese PS2 will have no problems playing this

You will need some form of a mod for the PS2. If using the Swap Disks system, then do not worry as they are very reliable and I myself along with many others use them and have had no problems. With the swap disks, you need one more form of a mod which could be a flip top which I personall reccemend. The flip top will basically have you simply take off the top of your PS2 and place a new one.

A: Well, after making sure you copied the development folder off your CD into your main Dink directory, you need to make a subdirectory for your D-Mod. Under your main Dink directory, make a folder (directory) to store your D-Mod files. For instance, my main Dink directory is C:\DINK\ so I made a folder under this called SCAROFD and ended up with C:\DINK\SCAROFD\ to begin my Scar of David D-Mod.

A: When I wanted to put pictures of Dink's Doppelganger on my web site, I tried and tried to make it work but I couldn't. Finally, I found an EASY (and probably the best) way to do it. While playing the game (or while in the map editor) get to the screen you want to capture. Then, simply hit the <print-screen> key on your keyboard. Nothing visible will happen, but the current screen will be copied to your clipboard.

A: If you have WinZip, I believe the task is easier. There is also a tool for winzip to make self-extracting EXE's out of a ZIP file. There is a similar tool for PKZIP DOS but it doesn't automate the installation. Anyway, I use PKZIP 2.04G for DOS, and I created a batch file called M.BAT. I put this file in my D-Mod directory. Then, I run a dos-prompt and change into my D-Mod directory. From there, I just type M.BAT <enter> and it does it! M.BAT contains: pkzip dmodname.zip *.

how do u get ozx memory to recognize my usb memory stick. i have a sandisk 256 and ozx say "NO FatX at drive" If your mem stick isn't formatted as FATX, then you need to start up your XBox to Microsoft's dashboard and insert your memstick. THe Dashboard will say the disk has been damaged and has been reformated. BE ADVISED: all of your data previously on your mem stick WILL be gone! I don't know about the 2004 Holiday Bundle, but most of the 2003 Holiday Bundles XBoxes *should* be v1.

An inexperienced U.S., Canadian or European company might think that going direct to a Asian manufacturer would result in a lower price than that which they could get working with MTG Imports. However, many of our best customers have tried going direct in the past. The following array of mind-boggling challenges are just some of the stumbling blocks to successful overseas production that eventually brought them to us. The Language Barrier is a powerful impediment.

All you really need are the five magical Cosmic Wimpout dice cubes. Four are white with a "5," "10," or one of the symbolic symbols on each of the sides. The black cube is known as the "Sun" die. It's just like the other cubes, except the "Flaming Sun" (or Sun-Star) appears. Yes, there is! The Flaming Sun is a wild card, and can be made a "5," "10," part of a Flash (triplets), or nothing at all.

If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Maxell High Grade (DVD+R's). The PS2 laser is picky, these are the only three types of media you should trust for maximum reliability and compatibility with your PS2. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, Dynex, Princo, Bulqpaq, etc. If you really want to do the PS2 backup thing right, pick up some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim's. I only burn to TYG02, the 8x Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's.

Importers of radiation-emitting electronic products subject to an FDA performance standard are required to submit a written declaration on "Declaration of Products Subject to Radiation Control Standards," form FDA 2877, along with other import entry information, through U.S. Customs Border Protection (CBP) to the appropriate FDA imports office.
