Mod Chip Detection
 

hello,

I was thinking you know ps2 network adapter which allows you to play games on the net i was thinking will it know if you were playing a copyied game or have a mod chip installed?

Thanks

Yes. New games released within the last few months have DNAS protection. It requires you to use your original online.

I believe the first PS2 game to have this was the Everquest beta version. The final release does not have it though. Weird huh?




Tyler!

Im still a little in the dark about this DNAS. Only the new games that came out with the DNAS in the last few monthes have this protection right. So like the older online games can still be played with a back up. Or is The DNAS like a server side thing that can be updated to check any online game?

Just newer games for the most part.

yeah ok. so socom has this protection yeah

PAL version of socom has DNAS protection.

Yeah but from what Ive read, only the kind that looks for cheats from GS or AR.




Tyler!

Hey, what is this DNAS thing??? That means that the new games on DVD are protected or is only an ONLINE thing???

Thanx for the info

hope some one figers a way around this b4 final fanstay 11 comes out

It is just for online gaming.

yeah i wanted to play 11 online i think thats only a online game

ok so protection on the ps2 has begun comeon peeps gotta crack it hehe

Protection on PS2 has always been there. But the online protection has just started.




Tyler!

no man..

my friend bought the nba live 2004 and play it online in a mod ps2 and it doesn't let him play and he call the tech support and the tech support told him that the game won't let him play online cus the mod chip.

he needs the no-mod ps2....

Did your friend disable his mod before going online?

I'd personally use an original [with mod disabled before going online] I never had a problem with DNAS doing that, going online with a backup disc is just playing roulette, you never know when... :confused:

@WDR

Your game is a new one. Just about all new games have DNAS. You can still play all old games without problems.



Tyler!

I just told my friend to try this method and he can play it online right now.

he bought a Real NBA Live 2004 and he is using Gameshark to boot others backup game. I told him to put the game in the PS2 and go to standby mode and quickly press reset three times to boot the game. This can disable the ModChip and the DNAS doesn't work and he can play now.

hope to share this to everyone.

WDR

Yeah dude, that is known. If you turn off your mod and use the original then you can play online. You cannot play these games as backups online.



Tyler!

dose it only detect the mod or dose it also read the game and know its a backup

If you would read my Temporary Sticky on DNAS you find that its both.




Tyler!

thats to much reading for me lol

Everything you do here requires reading.




Tyler!

yeah but the dnas is like it doc's term it not for peps like my who reads slow english i read a lil of it most of it makes no sence but i seen the part about the disk serialziled so i figer it reads the disk as well as the mod

if you get a messiah 2 this problem is sorted

@seaneyb2003

Yeah but not entirely. Still cant play backups online.



Tyler!

This is why my ps2 modem is a paper wait untill i get the AR max figerd out

So I do not have to worry about this DNAS thing if I do not plan to play a backup game online? What about a game that CAN be played online but offline as well?

If you dont play online then DNAS cant get to you. Its only activated online. But if you have a new game that does have DNAS just use your original to play online with your modchip turned off. No need to have your modem as a paperweight.




Tyler!

how do u turn messiah 2's off

Read the stickies.




Tyler!

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.




Tyler!

someone should make a sticky bout this.

erhum i think thats you tyler!:)

I already did.

Quite some time ago.



Tyler!

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.
