New V12 Lazer And Possible Boot Disc ????
 

Hi all first of all ive read a thread here that the new v12 dosent read dvd-r very well , on the box it says it reads dvdrw - and + has anybody tried RW.
Also with the console having a flip lid why couldn't we use the swap magic discs as boot discs we would just need a spring or something like the old ps1s surely this would work and then if the console screws up its still under warrenty :D .
Please post your findings regarding any of the above :confused:

slimline compatability
 

i got one of the new slimline ps2`s on friday, it plays all dvd-r and +r as well as +rw no problems. i like your thinking about a boot disc similar to the old playstation, all we need is someone to try it and let us know

Right lets get this little baby sussed i can confirm it reads the swap magic discs so we need to make a slight mod to the console some how so the pstwo thinks the lid is shut at all times , this must be possible then we have our selves a direct pstwo boot disc :cool: .Im going to open one up tomorrow and see what i can do anybody else that can help please post in this thread :D .
Thanks
Gaz

Still ghetto!



Tyler!

Speak english my friend :rolleyes:

Word G! I be feelin' you on that one!

I understand him perfectly..... don't know what's wrong with you..... :rolleyes:

No probs just having a bit of fun :p

Job done just took the little bastard apart to test placed tape over both switches that tell the console the lid is closed , put it back together 5 mins in all.
Inserted dvd swap magic disc closed lid turn it on disc loaded opened lid inserted backup closed lid pressed x and game booted , this method should also work with dvd region x's and action replay discs i cant see why not i will have to test when i get my hands on one. :D

It's still swap sh*t :rolleyes:

Leeds are Sh*t but you still like letting ppl know ya support em :rolleyes:
lol
Its a boot disc to me anyway who cares just trying to help ppl out , some ppl can't afford chips install prices ect. ;)

Which english your UK english or my US english. Both at the moment are as screwed up as the other. BTW dont have too much fun. ;)




Tyler!

Thats a crock. Duo2's are about $20 each and if you do the install yourself or have someone do it for you then your still only paying tops another $40-50. Plus when your done you dont have to worry about other crap like SM fixes or patches.





Tyler!

Swap Magic is ****er :p

Anyway, SM discs suck - you'll have problens with certain titles. At the end of the day, that is why mods are so good - just zero hassle, pop in and boot up :D

So the mod wasn't possible without opening the case right?

Doesn't sound like it to me:

'Put it all back together'

Wait wait... You say you got it to play DVD+-R, how'd you do it? Swap disc, chip?

Something isn't right here.

I am sure he is referring to a dvd movie backup.
