Wait

So even if I anm playing the original............... that DNAS thing will catch me if I am using a modchip?

What exactly will it do if it catches me?

right i opend this thred to find out what it was all about its gone off the subject abit tyler please close it :):):)

If your chip is on and your playing your original youll get an error that wont let you finish connecting online. If you turn your chip off and use your original then youll be able to play online.

Oh, alright

I am not goign to get blacklisted or anything though right? All I have to do it turn the chip off and everythign is fine?

Thats no problem then, I dont dare risk playing a backup online anyway.

I dont think youll get blacklisted. But to be on the safe side just stay within bounds and only use an original and turn off your mod.



Tyler!

Hmm...that's bad, but what about us here in Australia, where it is legal to mod-chip your playstation 2. It must be a new way for sony to stop people mod-chipping their ps2's even though the court ruled that it's legal to modchip here in australia

In the states its not illegal to chip your ps2 either, as long as your chip doesnt have any copyrighted Sony code. But I guess Sony has to attack piracy somehow and since if you really own a game then I figure they think its ok for you to use your original once in a while.




Tyler!

Reminds me of the anti-modchip PSX games

Very stupid idea

Instead of the game checking ig its original, it checks if the psx itself is modded, and refuses to boot if it is. Meaning even ORIGINAL games wont boot on a modded psx. Thats when the stealth chips came in.

Actually the courts overturned the original decision now it's illegal to 'mod' a ps2 as it they deemed 'to be circumfenting the copy protection'

What about the fact that copyright protection prevents us form the right to make a single backup of any software we own?

to the courts it doesn't matter. they came to the conclusion that we have no right to make a backup of a disc.

Great, so basically they ruled in favor of companies getting money over us getting our rights.
