I'm no supporter sped and you should know that as both me and you had the same convo exactly a year ago in 2004!.....

Any posts I've done in the past have either been
A) To help out someone who's using them wrong or
B) to inform another member that what they're saying is incorrect.
but you'l never find me telling someone to buy them.
It's just my personal opinion as is the state of this forum nowadays as it's simply turned into a clone of PS2ownz (Pro one Anti everything else ) (& Yes it hurts to say it)
I used to always use this forum and have met a lot of decent people (BG/Tyler/Psxpaul/Warlock etc) some of which have even helped with things other than the 'scene' but now I can't be bothered because week in week out every post is the same old thing.
I remember the days where it was more of a community rather than the same old drizzle and now all it is is a one sided argument on everything (Which has been proven in the past to be the wrong thing!)
Charlie_ps2 was a messiah guy but look at his reply here
http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=85813&postcount=5 Nowadays it would read more like "That's crap get a ???????"
Anyway after getting trivial i'l get back the the question lol.....
Yep it's been playing backups for the past 2 months after the tool was released (Didn't fancy the straw method!!)
