Night, you misunderstood what I was trying to say--and I guess it was my fault for not presenting it more nicely (sorry!) Some important info was being overlooked, and you ripped into clark, that is all I was saying.

Chow had not mentioned his version info. Clark was telling him what version numbers were required for the swap methods generally used, and had been posted in this thread. He in fact was telling the truth so far as he and everyone else in this thread knew, and thus had become standard practice. You had a new method to offer that was successful for you, and no one else had any knowledge of. You guys started ripping on each other. All I was saying is take a step back and read and and analyze all the info before you essentially call someone an idiot or a liar. It appeared you had not considered the fact that your idea was new and untested by anyone else, and that the conventional method which does require a specific range of version numbers for success wasn't working.

Perhaps you could start a thread to post this other method for others to try...it may help unclog the channels a bit. Some alternative methods I've seen can cause the tray to open while the disk is still spinning--I launched my Jedi-Starfighter DVD across the room one time because my timing was off! (my box is mounted vertical)

All you had to say is"hey, I've got a method that does work with these other version numbers--check it out"--but instead you chose to rip on clark and say he didn't know what he was talking about. In fact, he did....he just didn't know what you were talking about, because it was completely new. This forum is here to present new ideas, and help others. We appreciate the help, but it is hard to work your way through the thread when every other post is ripping into someone and negating everyone's tried and tested methods.

Thanks for putting up with our misguided efforts to figure this out....

DONT SINGLE ME OUT!!!I didnt rip pjclark any more than he did me, In fact if thats ripping then isnt that what you are doing to me??!. Chow posted his PS2 info in his signature for everyone to see, all anyone had to do was look, (yourself included). I learned this boot method in a forum like this one a few months ago so it isnt anything new or unheard of. Sometimes a little effort is needed to find the info, like using the FREE search engine that is provided to all members of this forum. This boot method has been posted several times in the past (as other members can concur) long before you or pjclark were members although it is easer for alot of members and newbie's ask stupid questions or blurt out false accusations than it is to use the search function, Also, shouldn't pjclark have done a little research before posting

"Chow posted his PS2 info in his signature for everyone to see, all anyone had to do was look, (yourself included)"

All it says is GS2 version 2---I've seen at least 8 versions mentioned in these forums regularly. That's all I'll say about that.

As for who ripped who first, "You dont know what you are talking about!! " was the first rip--and it was in your post. Clark was technically correct--the GS2 will not "BOOT DVD-R". you have to trick it. To his knowledge, there was only one way to trick the GS2 to play DVDR--and as stated, you have to have 1.7-2.02 to Boot them "properly". I'm not sure, but I would imagine there could be some problems if the timing is not right with your method. If by chance it is done a bit too late, the disc could start spin-up as the tray opens. Mine takes almost 25 seconds before spin up with this method--but then again, I have ver 2.11, with a big code list. Again, he did know what he was talking about as far as he knew--your way may be known to veterans, but not to new people--and that reaction was a bit harsh and uncalled for.

As for "Singling Out"--you started it. You flamed him, and you flamed me. As for researching an issue--I do. I subscribe to 5 different forum lists--some also for PC games. Although I'm new to the PSX/PS2 scene(2 months now), I've been ripping and cracking games/CD's/DVD's for over 5 years now and I've learned a few things here and there. I'm on at least one or two lists every night, and don't post a lot because I usually find what I need, or someone else has posted what I would have to say. When I do post, if I am unsure if the information is reliable--I SAY SO. Likewise, if I do provide misinformation, I apologize and correct it. I tried to credit you for presenting a work-around for an otherwise flawed combination, and you ripped me. I've even tried to apologize to you, and you ribbed me again.

I'm not having a bad day, and I'm not looking to flame anyone or start an argument---I'm just trying to make sure the facts are straight and no one gets mislead. I nearly trashed my box because I had been mis-informed. Fortunately, I've had my hands in the guts of computers, dvd/cd players, vcr's, tv's, and a few game boxes and arcade machines for nearly 10 yrs now, and was able to stop myself from frying my PS2. It is a great diservice to belittle anyone who is trying to help out--I have had no intention of doing so. I just want to make sure everyone has all the facts straight in a short, easy to read post. Like I asked earlier, it might be beneficial to list your method in a new thread so others can find it easier--it would be in one place with an easily recognizable header.

It took me forever to find this post, I'm glad I did. Gameshark 2 version 2.12 works with the above method as well.

I was told no solder chips can load imports.
