We have nothing for you to download here. You can either get a modchip installed or break your ps2 by using the knife (ghetto) trick.

I wouldnt worry about the warranty. If you take care of your ps2 itll last you a long time. Just install a chip in it.

Get a DMS3 or Messiah 2. They are the best.

(I can't believe people still post Q's about this stuff? There was a time when there was none of this stuff and all of a sudden it's a bad case of Bootdisk Syndrome again, lol! :D)

I aren't aiming it at anyone in particular, it's the same on any forum you visit, don't know why though??? :confused:

I have noticed this too but I guess that it will be cycles with it more or less forever.
Constant there will be new people with PSX or PS2 and the searchfunction isn't the most used one I guess. Many doesn't search more than 30days back or at most a coupla of month.
Just my thought why there always will be Q's about why downloaded bootdiscs don't work.

But hey, don't forget that we all are newbies at the beginning. ;)
