First up the Knife trick.

I'll give u links to the bastard and i'll post a games list which will work with this trick (will update it when i can)

YOU'LL NEED :

(1) A COPY OF DVD REGION X (YOU CAN ALSO USE GAMESHARK OR ACTION REPLAY)
(2) A OLD CREDIT CARD OR SOMETHING SIMILIAR THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE KNIFE WITH
(3) A COPIED GAME THATS COMPATABLIE WITH THE KNIFE TRICK




THE GENERAL RULES ETC :


THE KNIFE TRICK IS INTENDED TO RUN ALL YOUR PS2 COPYS BUT THERE IS SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THAT RULE.

DVDR WILL NOT RUN UNDER THE METHOD I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT SO YOUR GAME HAS TO BE ON CDR.

ALL PS2 GAMES THAT ARE COPIED FROM CD-ROM WILL WORK WITH THE KNIFE.

IF A GAME HAS BEEN RIPPED FROM A DVD-ROM THEN IT HAS TO BE SMALLER THAN 700MB FOR DVD REGION X TO LOAD IT.THEY CAN BE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT RULE BUT NOT MANY.


YOU DON'T HAVE TO INSTALL ANY TYPE OF CHIP OR GO INTO THE INSIDES OF THE PS2 EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT PART OF THE MACHINE.

ALL THESE GAMES ARE ON CDR AND I HAVE NO DVDR BURNER SO NOW U KNOW WHAT CAN WORK OR DOESN'T...FEEL FREE TO POST GAMES U HAVE WORKING WITH THE KNIFE TRICK HERE AND I'LL ADD THEM TO THE LIST.

NO MOD VERSION MEANS I'VE TAKEN IT FROM A CDR THAT WAS TOO BIG FOR THE KNIFE TRICK AND FIXED IT.

[Ice]

good shit tang but no i wont be using this

[BlackIce]

i am very tempted to try this knife trick. i just dont wanna screw over my ps2:p

[GenkiAkuma]

eh...i got mod chip..got uncle to solder....was just too lazy to do something like that...neways...what gets downgraded and such when they put a dvdrom game onto cdr?

cinemas typically go, audio is downsampled, music is often relinked (so lets say the background music in two levels would be the same, instead of different, so they can delete the extra one)

[Duck-old]

I'll play PS2 backups the safe way.

[Tangier]

I will be adding FAQs for chips and how to burn ISOs from dvd and cdrom.

I'll also do a FAQ for newsgroups which is where i get everything now

[BlackIce]

i was reading about some mod-chips and i noticed it said something about wires? well whats this about? what else do i need besides the mod-chip? Are there parts or wires that i have to buy after i buy the mod-chip? I'm just a little confused:confused:

[Deztriam]

gah man my PS2 is running like a piece of shit anyway, hardly ever loads a game in one time, freezes to many damn times so I might as well try that knife trick. Now I only have to get myself a copy of DVD Region X. Good advice Tang.

[BlackIce]

hey Deztriam, r u using a mod chip? Or is us ps2 just giving u problems anyway?

[Geist]

hehehe, that movie was Pretty funny, It was all Covert and shit with the MGS theme music...

[semple]

I'm soooooooo close to getting it done! I've took most of the PS2 cover thing off......... now just trying to find the white chip I need is proving trouble!

Nope he's giving me trouble without a mod chip and when I call shops that sell them they say: "what do you expect you got one of the earlier version so the chip is an older version".
And I'm like "WTF is that gonna help me".

It's just a mistake to buy a new console that early I done it with the PSX as well, when he was very exspenssive and after a few months I had the same problems as I have with my PS2 now.

[Cube]

Can you copy DVD rom games with a DVD burner and play them somehow? If so, I know where I can get a DVD burner for about $150.

Yes you can but you'll need a chip like the Messiah to play them

I payed £400 for a first batch ps1... broe down before the prie had drope to £300! Had to fucking replace it, a few weeks out of its warranty... sony suck like that, their TVs break too much as well, I dont trust them with visual stuff no more (strangely their Hi-Fis seem top notch tho)

[Tangier]

Gonna tidy this up over the weekend

[Zim]

i might use it, if it works on PAL ps2's aswell. I'll have to think about it. I dont have a dvd burner yet though

[CozmosMouse]

Wouldnt BUYING a PS2 game be easier?
:p

If it came down to ease then why not just buy sony and EA...this is about peeps and lack of cash

[Cube]

LOL Tang. Thanx for the revival.
