[Frito]

While I'm waiting for some new lexan to come in at my nearby Home Depot I put my PS2 back together and played some games this weekend because I had some friends staying over from Seattle.

Anyway, I discovered a couple quirks with my PS2 that I'm not sure if they're normal behaviour.

Backups, for the most part play fine. Except load times are twice as long and games like MGS2 where they have long FMV sequences get choppy after a minute. Do Backups normally read slower than originals?

Also, Originals will now only play if I put the chip in Sleep mode.

I'm running a v4 no gap with a DMS3 and 2.2 bios.

Also, I still can't get a backup of Amplitude to run. I tried the trial of Alchohol and it says it burned just fine but I've tried it on Ridata's Verbatims, and some cheap **** I bought just to try it out. None work.
