for your next PS2 you can pick up a pre-modded v7 with Messiah 2 for a reasonable price :)

[bighap]

Yes, no patching is necessary. Not sure about Ricoh.

do u think it could be somthing other than the media i found that sometimes when it freeze if i take out the memory card it unfreeze [strange as it sounds] these games are all on same media this is the story MOA frontline works a charm stuntdriver works great getaway is a dog assed **** gta vc is a **** to thats the one that works thou if i remove the memory card once it freeze and thps 4 work the first ten time no dramas but now it freeze after about 1 min of playing dunno but i think it may be the laser shine me with sum lightness

[bighap]

Are you using a third party memory card?

[derek in aus]

sorry that my last post had to be censord

[derek in aus]

no its a SONY

[bighap]

Have you tried playing those games that freeze and unfreeze when you remove the memory card without using a memory card at all?

[derek in aus]

yeah i thought id solved the prob the game froze and took out the memory card and it started to read again so i played the games using the memory card only when i wanted to save the game but it still dont work even if i use no memory card

[bighap]

Seeing that you use the knife trick, you could have screwed somthing up inside your ps2...

[bighap]
